Re-animation, the science of bringing dead creatures back to life, is Herbert West's dream. West tests his secret life-rejuvenating potion on some cooperative corpses at a local morgue. It's a success! But only a temporary one - as the dead spring to life, reacting violently to their re-animation. Zombies are loose and now West cannot control the very beasts he has re-created. The born-again dead are unstoppable, even severed body parts take on life like so many split worms! Herbert West has a serious problem - will he become the first in a new breed of headhunters or all of his woes coming to a head? Re-Animator - an intense book of macabre humor. Based on the screenplay by Dennis Paoli, William J. Norris and Stuart Gordon.
novelizations of movies are always incredibly fascinating to me because i wanna know how closely involved the movie creators were to the writing of the book. some teeny tiny detail that seems insignificant will make or break the book and its attempt at adapting the source material for me. some things in this book were…….interesting. i would very much like to know if theyre technically canon
