I love the RE-ANIMATOR trilogy, but my favorite is FROM BEYOND (1986), also directed by Stuart Gordon! Check that one out now. The creature FX in that one are off the charts.
@@skeletalk No, it's not part of the RE-ANIMATOR franchise, it's its own thing, based on Lovecraft's all too short, in my opinion, story. Creature FX in it are simply stunning and Gordon brings back Jeffery Combs and Barbara Crampton to be leads, with Crampton's Dr. Katherine McMichaels character being the main lead. The color palette Gordon used always make me hungry for candy. Weird, I know. But watch and you'll see.
This one, teamed with its sequel, "Bride of Re-Animator", actually form a passable adaptation of the original serial short-story. They replaced a certain military commander with Dr. Hill, but otherwise it matches up pretty well. And Jeffrey Combs is a delight, as he always is in any role.
Originally the plan was for Dr. Hill be able to hypnotize people. Explaining why the dean suddenly hated Dan and kicked him out of school. Hill wanted Megan for himself. It was also the reason he could control all the reanimated people at the end.
There is an audio book where Jeffrey Combs (Herbert West) reads the the novel movie is based on, Herbert West - Re-Animator. They actually used the fluids from a glowstick as the serum. It's non toxic. I mean otherwise they wouldn't have done that If it was. There are two sequels, Bride of Re-Animator & Beyond Re-Animator, plus a 4th movie that was planned, but it sadly got cancelled. It was gonna be called House of Re-Animator, the plot would have taken place on the White House, William H. Macy was cast as the president & George Wendt as the vice president & not only would Jeffrey Combs have returned & Stuart Gordon returning to direct it, but Bruce Abbott would have returned as Dan Cain & even Barbara Crampton, but this time as the president's wife (my guess is that there would have been a sub plot about Dan starting a relationship with the first lady because she reminds him of Meg from the 1st movie. Which would have been ironic). There where other planned sequels after the 2nd movie, but they never got off the ground. One of the plots would have been about Herbert West meeting The Old Ones. Now you have to check out From Beyond, also based on a Lovecraft novel, also directed by Stuart Gordon & also stars Jeffrey Combs & Barbara Crampton. And it also has gore 😉 From Beyond is the perfect movie to have a double feature with Re-Animator 🙂
@@skeletalk I’m interested to see which one out of the two that you like more. I have the unpopular opinion that From Beyond is better but your mileage may vary lol
If I was that security guard I would have gotten the hell out of there too after seeing that foolishness. I would have called the police before I left.
There’s a movie from 1961 called The Brain That Wouldn’t Die which is pretty much based on the same story that THIS one is. That’s the first screen version of it. In fact, THIS movie here even steals features of THAT one which weren’t originated in the H.P.L. story (like the disembodied still-living head in a tray of blood).
The moment you said “She doesn’t want to be seeing’ that” after Meg Halsey(Barbara Crampton) enters the room as Herbert West is reviving her father,I thought”You think she doesn’t want to see that?Just wait until you find out what she sees later!”
Jeffrey Combs is awesome in just about anything he does. :) (I geeked out recently cos he voiced a brief role in Masters of the Universe: Revolution I loved and made me like the action figure of the character he voiced even more :P ) You'll need to see 'From Beyond' if you haven't. :D
Scooby Doo was my fav cartoon growing up as well. I am guessing you have watch the Ash vs Evil Dead series since you mentioned loving the Evil Dead movies.
I have a Scooby Doo plush toy that I've had since I was like 6. It's one of those weird "guard dog" toys that were all the craze back then it alerts you and moves if someone's near. Dunno if it works anymore the battery has been dead forever but I still keep him he's lovely. And yessss I'm a gigantic evil dead fan!! (I have yet to see the 2013 one though but I'll be honest not much interest in it, with no ash. And wasn't biiig fan of rise)
@@skeletalk From what I remember it was ok, the newest one was better. Mostly I just wanted to make sure you had seen the tv series Ash vs the Evil Dead, because I loved that series and was sad when it got cancelled. As for the Scooby, i never even heard of that, but I think those came out after I got to old to be interested in them. As I am old enough to have seen the original later seasons of the first cartoon when they first came out in the mid seventies.
*_The main theme song, from the opening, may have felt very familiar because the director asked for it to be modelled from the classic theme from Psycho. In fact, if you listen to both closely together, you’ll notice that they almost identical in melody & instrument choices. Apparently, the European orchestra charged with playing it were so unused to such challenging rythmes that they had a very hard time delivering what the conductor was asking them to do; but they certainly delivered a masterpiece (I think it’s even better than Psycho’s theme)_* *_And Re-Animator is not the only horror movie to create thee own musical theme from copying parts of Psycho’s theme: Friday the 13th did the same thing (Not surprising since the first idea of the movie’s backstory was also inspired by Psycho). FT13th was much more subtle in their hommage to Psycho’s theme, but if you listen carefully, you’ll recognize the influence._*
The town of Arkham, Massachusetts on the Miskatonic River, its venerable institute of higher learning, Miskatonic University, and a few other nearby settlements (Dunwich, Innsmouth, Kingsport) are frequent settings for Lovecraft's stories. The Colour Out Of Space occurs on a remote farm outside of Arkham. All are fictional.
very fun movie and different horror and yeah that was very cringy toward the end jeffrey combs and barbara crampton have been in a few lovecraftian movies including 'from beyond' oh and jeffrey combs was in the 'frighteners' as a demented fbi agent. you might enjoy it 'dagon' is another good movie but is really more 'shadows over innsmouth' 'constantine' has some practical effects and then there's robert englund's 'jack brooks monster slayer' 'cabin in the woods' is a fun movie with a good cast only a little practical effects sadly more cgi
the 2nd is probably one of those rare ones that the sequel equals the original, like hell raiser, evil dead, reanimator 2 is great, one of my back ground movies seen it so much i have it playing in the background
theres a scene in hellraiser 2 that icks me out, i mean i am a gorehound, but the mattress part that just gets me. the first 2 are basically one long film, the kirsty arc, the 3rd is the pinhead origins and his arc, the 4th is the box arc, the rest they just shoved pinhead in, however the 5th has some of the best designed cenobites. thats all i can say @@skeletalk
If you haven’t seen it, you gotta do Peter Jackson’s Braindead(aka Dead Alive here in the states) it’s an ultra gory horror comedy from 1992, similar to Re-Animator, I guarantee you’d love all the gore effects, animatronics, and stop motion 👍🏻
Theres are deleted scenes from this that show more of Dr. Hill's "hypnotic" powers... his "domination of the will"... and also that Herbert West shoots up his reagent like heroin. Honestly though, it's better they were cut. They slow the movie to a crawl and dont add much to the enjoyment. The DVD commentary (originally from a LaserDisc commentary) is absolutley hilarious. Its of the whole main cast in one room and it seems like they all had a drink or two cause they're having a great time taking the piss out of each other, and the movie 😂". The director Stuart Gordon did an HP lovecraft follow up a year later... "From Beyond", with Jeff Combs and Barbara Crampton back, but their roles are flipped. Also Ken Foree from Dawn of the Dead '78. It's a lot of fun and really... gooey.😊
Ah yes, the "technically not Pyscho soundtrack" movie. I love Herbest so much. He's the best. One of my all time favorite horror icon. If you like this one you should totally check out Dagon from 2001! Same director, also an HP Lovecraft story. Stuart Gordon is a major Lovecraft fan. Also From Beyond is great.
There are audiobook style readings of Lovecraft stories available here on YT if you have issues with reading his prose. Would probably be the way to go.
@@skeletalk The last one I listened to was someone's fairly recent rendition of "The Outsider". Which always stuck with me since first reading it, long ago, as a more personal narrative exposing his own twisted self-image.
Re: Why did he come here? Miskatonic University is HP Lovecraft's fictional university used in many stories (by a variety of authors), think of it like the Occult version of MIT or Harvard. Also, you might want to check out From Beyond (1986), which also stars Jeffery Combs & Barbara Crampton, though be warned it is a little spicier.
THIS movie introduced me to the GREAT Jeffery Combs! edit - Just found that "From Beyond" is free on Amazon Prime. Watching that after this. If I recall correctly, your love of color and bizarre will be well satiated in that movie. 2nd edit - If I recall correctly, they used 8 times as much blood as the bloodiest movie to that point.
Yeah I don't know if I know of Combs in anything else but he's SO engaging I love his acting. Omg it's free? May need to bump it up on the list for sure!
Katie, Thaaaank you so much for reacting to one of my favorite guilty pleasure horror films of all time 😍. It's Lovecraft-inspired. It's got gore and questionable taste. It's got great practical effects. What more could one want? Herbert West (played by Jeffrey Combs) is also a great anti-hero of tactless, douchey proportions. I love that bespectacled, miserable little man. He's probably ever-so-slightly before your time, but I compare him to musician/producer Steve Albini. Very similar physical appearance and personality. 😄
Hi Katie, I wanted to let know that all the anatomical drawings you liked from the credit sequence came from the medical textbook "Gray's Anatomy" - it's also where the TV show got it's name from. You can find it pretty cheap online, about $7 US. It's very thick and has hundreds of super-detailed anatomical drawings of the human body, it's organs, bones, circulatory system and everything really. It was written way back in the 1850s and served as the primary textbook for surgeons for well over 100 years.
Hi Katie enjoyable reaction as always, I saw this back when I was about sixteen and completely forgot about as only watched it the once, but I've noticed a few channels uploading their reactions to it and being grossed out by some of it but generally enjoying the film and especially liking the practical effects, anyway Glad you liked it and I've not seen the sequels all I know is the next one is called Bride of Re-Animator released in 1990, but will enjoy your reaction when you eventually watch it.
Finally found a movie that grossed you out hahaha awesome reaction Katie Couple of recommendations since you mentioned Fantasy (idk what your opinion is on Ray Harryhausen) -clash of the titans 1981 -sinbad and the eye of the tiger -Jason and the argonauts - king Kong 1933 -dragon slayer -Willow -the neverending story -Labyrinth -legend (by ridley scott) -the company of wolves -the Time machine (H.G. wells) -little monsters -krull -Leviathan -she creature - monster squad
This one reminded me of a film that came out in 1992 by none other than Peter Jackson, the one who made the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Well in 1992 no one really knew about him and the film, Braindead, it really feels like someone messing around with practical effects and loosely tossed together a gross and raunchy humor plot sloppily thrown together and then calling it a movie. I guess there is a romance in it, kind of, and some of it might be taken as horror. Bizarre would be the one fitting word I would call it.
hehe Jeffrey Combs is great.. I think I first saw him in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Weyoun. The Re-Animator films are great fun though.. and as others have said you'll definitely dig From Beyond For non-horror recommendations, how about Short Circuit, Predator, Howard the Duck or RoboCop? Fun reaction, Skele! ☠
For a good treatment of a Lovecraft story, you should check out this same director's movie "Dagon" from years later - 2001 IIRC. It's about as close as a movie can get to the original, in this case The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Despite having a limited budget and a few bits with early CGI, it still has some good practical effects and appropriate creepiness.
The best part of this movie is that you don't really know if Dr West is evil or if he really is trying to save people from death. He's mad there's no doubt about it. but is he evil? :D
The short story was inspired by Frankenstein and it's okay. Lovecraft wrote it because he needed the money at the time and I think it shows. But, the film is a really good comedy horror. From Beyond (1986) and Dolls (1987) are good follow up films by the same director. From Beyond is another Lovecraft adaptation starring Jeffrey Combs and Dolls is a bit like a horror fairy-tale about killer dolls. For non-horror recommendations; anything Jim Henson and Ray Harryhausen. I've been rewatching Farscape recently which has some really cool creature designs if you havn't seen it. You could also do more tier lists like a practical effects or artist tier list.
You watched Color Out of Space?! I didn't see it on the channel, you must've watched it off cam or have it for the Patreons, darn. Haha, I love that movie. But, just another reminder!: Pumpkinhead!
So sorry! I watched it wayyyyy before I started this channel otherwise I'd have LOVED to react to it. But it's one of my favourites. Pumpkinhead is on the list!
A classic, and one of my faves. I remember how bid this was to us horror fans and gorehounds back in the day. Especially when we heard there was an uncut version, Along with the sequel a great companion oiece is the film "From Beyond" also based on a HPL story. Here is a fun 'Making of' that I believe was on the blu0ray. czcams.com/video/H6uidIhHnyU/video.html
Barbara Crampton and Jeffery Combs are the Hepburn & Tracy of horror ❤️
I love the RE-ANIMATOR trilogy, but my favorite is FROM BEYOND (1986), also directed by Stuart Gordon! Check that one out now. The creature FX in that one are off the charts.
Is from beyond part of the series? Or just lovecraftian? It's on the list either way, sooo excited for it!

Keen to see bride of re animator I always love stuff like that (frankenstien and chucky)
Originally the plan was for Dr. Hill be able to hypnotize people. Explaining why the dean suddenly hated Dan and kicked him out of school. Hill wanted Megan for himself. It was also the reason he could control all the reanimated people at the end.
30:58 Don't feel bad. Apparently Barbara Crampton had an absolute blast making these movies. She's a scream queen through and through.
Ahhh that's good to know haha! 😂
“Legend “ is an awesome dark fantasy film you would love.
There is an audio book where Jeffrey Combs (Herbert West) reads the the novel movie is based on, Herbert West - Re-Animator.
They actually used the fluids from a glowstick as the serum.
It's non toxic. I mean otherwise they wouldn't have done that If it was.

Oh my god I love the Reanimator series. Jeffery Combs is awesome and anything Lovecraft I right there. Great reaction Skele!!!!
I really wanna see the 2nd!thanks for the support! 💙
No doubt the opening titles music sounds familiar because it (or a piece nearly identical) was used for the film, "Psycho".
THAT'S IT OMG
You should definitely watch From Beyond, it's from almost the exact same team of people and is cosmic horror, also a Lovecraft adaptation.
Yesss excited for this one
@@skeletalk I’m interested to see which one out of the two that you like more. I have the unpopular opinion that From Beyond is better but your mileage may vary lol
This was a huge hit among the 8yo kids in my town when it came out.
Haha really!! Lots of gore for kiddos 😂
Hope your health keeps improving. ❤
Yeah loved these movies. Totally bonkers. Stuart Gordon's stuff is unhinged in good way.
If I was that security guard I would have gotten the hell out of there too after seeing that foolishness. I would have called the police before I left.
True 😂 think he raised the alarm too

bride next then beyond reanimator to wrap up herbert wests undead army/kill count
Head gives head.
😂😂😂
I can't blame Doctor Hill, I would do the same to Barbara Crampton.
Stuart Gordon made two more Lovecraft-inspired films: From Beyond and Dagon... both of which are amazing!
Don’t forget Castle Freak
"Parts. We haven't done parts yet."
Now try "From beyond"
IF YOU DARE 😂
not that it's scarier but it is raunchier.
From beyond and dagon are on the list! From beyond will def be before
Jeffrey Combs is awesome in just about anything he does. :)
(I geeked out recently cos he voiced a brief role in Masters of the Universe: Revolution I loved and made me like the action figure of the character he voiced even more :P )

hi Beautiful Skeletalk nice reaction on movie re animator you make my day with this video
Great reaction. Would love to see you react to Mandy. It is an art house meets grind house revenge horror flick with Nic cage in all his glory.
Check out Altered States with William Hurt. It's way out there!
Sounds familiar! I'll add it to the list!
The opening is colorful versions of the original Grays anatomy book..
Brings back fond memories of a misspent youth...
The beautiful and charming Skelly AKA Katie graces us once again🥰

From Beyond, is another lovecraft wth Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, its good. the opening music was inspired by Psycho

Couple of recommendations
since you mentioned Fantasy (idk what your opinion is on Ray Harryhausen)
-clash of the titans 1981
-sinbad and the eye of the tiger
-Jason and the argonauts
- king Kong 1933
-dragon slayer
-Willow
-the neverending story
-Labyrinth
-legend (by ridley scott)
-the company of wolves
-the Time machine (H.G. wells)
-little monsters
-krull
-Leviathan
-she creature
- monster squad
I want to watch legend soon for sure, lots of recommendations for that!!
It's crazy that Tom Cruise wasn't very proud of it but many people still praise it
Hope ur feeling as well as possible.
💙💙💙
This one reminded me of a film that came out in 1992 by none other than Peter Jackson, the one who made the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Well in 1992 no one really knew about him and the film, Braindead, it really feels like someone messing around with practical effects and loosely tossed together a gross and raunchy humor plot sloppily thrown together and then calling it a movie. I guess there is a romance in it, kind of, and some of it might be taken as horror. Bizarre would be the one fitting word I would call it.
Have you done critters Skele? It's amazing. Also, forbidden planet, though not strictly a horror was scary as a kid and awesome now 👍
forbidden planet would be good
Critters is next 😎😎💕
@@skeletalk YESSS! haha
hehe Jeffrey Combs is great.. I think I first saw him in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Weyoun. The Re-Animator films are great fun though.. and as others have said you'll definitely dig From Beyond
For non-horror recommendations, how about Short Circuit, Predator, Howard the Duck or RoboCop?
Fun reaction, Skele! ☠
from beyond is another great practical effects movie with jeffery combs in it.
Wrong awnser. . Color. . . Right awnser . . . Jeffery Combs

you should checkout Ken Russell's movie The Devils the best available cut being released by BFI (British film institute)
The opening credits are a direct ripoff of Psycho.
Wait till you see Bride of Reanimator ..
A classic, and one of my faves. I remember how bid this was to us horror fans and gorehounds back in the day.

Lovecraft was a white supremacist but influenced so much of horror culture.
Yup horrifically racist but made so much creative content
