More Re-Animator Sequels
Bloody-Disgusting broke the news over a year ago
that Herbert West would be back in three more
Re-Animator films beginning with House of
Re-Animator. No more details have come to surface
other than that the trilogy would in fact happen
with Jeffrey Combs returning to star. Today a brand
new interview popped up online with Brian Yuzna who
revealed not only the three titles but all three
synopses! Read on for the skinny.
House of Re-Animator: The sequel,
which reunites the original team (director Stuart
Gordon, producer Brian Yuzna, writer Dennis Paoli
and lead actor Jeffrey Combs), focuses on a
Bush-like president who dies in office. His staff
covertly brings in Dr. Herbert West to reanimate the
Commander in Chief, and the expected chaos ensues.
Re-Animator Unbound!: West would
have his own feifdom amidst a war zone. There his
experiments take him directly in conflict with
religion and face to face with the Old Ones of
Lovecraftian lore.
Re-Animator Begins: After having
his mind pretty much erased by the trauma of
Unbound! West is brought back to his senses (during
which we get to see some of West’s boyhood) by a
mysterious doctor who turns out to be his mentor Dr.
Gruber’s niece. Back at the medical school in
Switzerland (where it all began in the original
Re-Animator) West recreates his early experiments,
but makes the fatal mistake of breaking one of his
basic tenants when he finds himself having feelings
for... a woman.
