Honorable Mentions
1988: Cellar Dweller: Colin Childress: If we think about giving Warner "Nightwing," then
Combs get this one: A 1930's horror comic artist's creations come alive and kill him.
If we discount Warner's voice-only work in Grim & Evil, and Combs' work in the Reanimator
sequels since it is the same character, we have a 4-4 tie.
Cthulhoid Factoids
Both were in 1983's "The Man With Two Brains" starring Steve Martin. Combs played Dr. Jones. Warner played Dr. Necessiter.
Supposedly "Pulse Pounders," filmed in 1988, will be released in 2002 which stars both Combs
and Warner. Originally it was broken up into three shorter pieces. The one story that involved
the "Trancers" character Jack Deth was expanded into it's own separate film. Thus leaving the
Lovecraft piece(s) stuck in limbo. Out of space, out of time.
