Spooktoberfest takes a super-heroic turn as we shine a light on 1990’s Darkman. Directed by the amazing Sam Raimi over a decade before he tackled Spider-Man, Darkman features a very different sort of crimefighter. Dr. Peyton Westlake is busy developing a revolutionary “synthetic skin” intended to treat burn victims, but the substance is unable to handle prolonged exposure to light. Westlake is soon forced to don his own creation after being attacked and disfigured by crime boss Robert G. Durant. Dead to the world, Westlake adopts a variety of new faces as he sabotages Durant’s operation from within. Westlake uncovers a larger scheme involving the ambitious real estate mogul Louis Strack, who has his eyes on Westlake’s girlfriend Julie. Desperate to rebuild his life with Julie, Westlake continues fighting and forging new masks. But as “Darkman” emerges from the shadows of Westlake’s mind, how much of a future can the doctor hope to have? Remember to properly dispose of your memorandums and prepare a few tiny model cities for today’s photosensitive installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
