x fun facts
the green "re-agent" was actually beer

The glowing neon serum was made from food coloring and Heineken (since it fluoresced under UV light).

Jeffrey Combs audition was instant casting

combs nailed herbert west in his audition by delivering his lines with eerie intensity. gordon knew immediately he was perfect despite originally picturing West as blonde and older.

x why is it PEAK ???!

herbert looks like david bryne ,the lead singer of talking heads , which is in a way or another mentioned in the film.

hear me out but re-animator has HUGE lemon demon vibes

loosely based on h.p. lovecrafts story but ditching the slow-burn dread for full throttle insanity. its lovecraft by way of splatterpunk, with zero pretension.

a delicious entertaining movie with combs delivering one of the most iconic horror performances ever, blending mad scientist arrogance, deadpan humor, and chaotic energy.his obsession with reanimation is both terrifying and darkly hilarious.
