Narragansett Beer Company Launches Special Re-Animator Lager

Published

Written by John Squires

As an avid beer drinker, I love nothing more than when companies step outside the box and fuse together the worlds of horror and craft beer. We’ve recently profiled unique creations like Count Chocula Beer, Ecto Cooler Beer, and Walking Dead Beer, and we’ve got another fun one for you today.

Narragansett Beer, immortalized on screen as the chosen beverage of Quint in Jaws – the company recently released retro-style cans that replicate the ones Quint so memorably crushed – has spent this year paying tribute to horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, thus far releasing a couple brews based on his work.

As they just announced on social media, Narragansett will launch the latest beer in their Lovecraft tribute series just in time for Halloween, and this time they’re paying tribute to Herbert West: Re-Animator – a classic Lovecraft short story that became the 1985 horror favorite known simply as Re-Animator.

Dubbed the Reanimator Helles Lager, the 6.5% ABV beer is going to be unveiled at a special release party on October 10th, in conjunction with a 30th anniversary screening of Re-Animator at the Columbus Theatre in Providence, Rhode Island. Tickets are just $10, and you’ll find all the info at that link.

Just as Dr. Herbert West became obsessed with reanimating the dead, so too did we become obsessed with reviving our Bock,” Narragansett said of the horror-inspired beer. “It is the same recipe [made with Northern Brewers and Hallertau hops], but we will then dry-hop with Czech Saaz at the end of the process. In the Lovecraft story, they use a serum that brings the dead back to life, but after being reanimated, they are a bit…different. Dry-hopping the Czech Saaz will be the ‘serum’ that reanimates our Bock. This method will give the brew an additional spicy character that will add a layer of complexity as well as a slightly stronger hop and floral aroma.”

Six-packs of tallboys will be hitting stores in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.
