Another one for the What-Would-Lovecraft-Say files: Stuart Gordon's upcoming Thing on the Doorstep has a female protagonist that can take control of bodies by having sex with them. Women? Sex? It's just not right.
Jeffrey Combs isn't having a bar of it either. Despite working alongside Gordon in the racy Re-Animator, the "wall-to-wall" sex in the Thing on the Doorstep, was just too much for him:
"It's not part of my world. It was just too much, it was like, 'And then they're writhing, and then they're humping some more, and then they build to a climax, and then they climax, and sweat...' I wish [Gordon] all the best with that one, but not every project's right for me."
A project that is right for Combs is Leigh Scott's upcoming adaptation of The Dunwich Horror, which is due for a limited theatrical run in October before heading straight to DVD.
