it's fucking insane how many genuinely amazing re-animator 1985 scenes hit the cutting floor... establishing that Herbert uses the reagent like a drug, Hill being a hypnotizer, Dan's sexuality crisis dream which also sets the focus on Megan's heart (set-up for Bride of Re-animator), Hill hypnotizing Herbert and Herbert pulling away from it only when he realizes Dan is in danger, Dan and Herbert's 20 minutes long nasty fucking and sucking scene, Meg's death (heart set-up for Bride of Re-animator again), Herbert surviving and his last words of the film being “Hill didn't kill me... he didn't have the guts”.... the list goes on
you watch re-animator 1985 and it has the coolest intro, aesthetics matched 100%, sure the budget was $5 but who cares when the last visual shot is the glowing green serum inside a syringe getting smaller and smaller and then you hear a scream and you're like. holy shit this movie fucks hard. and so you watch part two. and there's the reborn head that got exploded in the first movie and it has bat wings attached so that it can fly around
fellas is it gay to build your roommate the perfect woman made from perfect parts of other women (including the heart of his tragically died fiancée you gave to him as a reminder of everything he loved in her) and to tenderly put your hand on his shoulder while he reanimates her. asking for a friend
obsessed with the idea that crawford tillinghast and herbert west are brothers because it unlocks unreal comedy-horror potential in the life of dan cain. imagine herbert drags him to some family reunion and there's herbert west 2: heterosexual edition AND he's dating the lookalike of the tragically deceased love of dan's life. dan's brain would self-lobotomize on the spot i think
wait is there actually 0 (zero) t4t danbert fics. you people have to be joking. if you write herbert as trans and dan as cis you're a coward and a liar btw
OBSESSED with bride of reanimator cutting from Dan having sex with a woman to Herbert looking all betrayed and angry, visual implications being that Herbert just witnessed being cheated on
