I’ve only seen Re-Animator of his works, but I know how influential he was to the horror genre. R.I.P.

I saw his 80s stuff but haven't seen his 90s films (after Robojox). Heard about this guy who was a big fan of his and he got a chance to talk to him and he mentioned some other filmmaker and Gordon misinterpreted his meaning--thinking he was implying Gordon copied the other filmmaker--he got very offended and the fan left feeling awful.

That’s pretty much a non-story. I mean, what’s the point of mentioning that? He made a fan feel bad one time so he was a horrible person?

I heard KING OF THE ANTS was the best film made by the Asylum (before they went into mockbusters). I've been meaning to check it out. As well as the castle movie he made in the 90s.

I might as well add this other anecdote I heard years ago.
So a storyboard artist went to a meeting with Gordon, and he mentioned he had done the storyboards for Predator. Gordon said he had a theory what the movie was really about--you got this group of macho guys and no women who go off alone into the jungle. They encounter an alien that kicks their ass and "has certain feminine qualities, especially around the mouth. It is their worst nightmare."
The storyboard artist said he fell off his chair from laughing.
