They kind of took that out on From Beyond and cut it to ribbons - but luckily I was able to put it back together a few years ago. I think that the MPAA, which is the ratings board in the States, they were angry about Re-Animator, with it having gone out without a rating. With From Beyond, they insisted that it be rated R, which meant that it was more restricted in what we’d be allowed to do.

Re-Animator was released unrated, which is very seldom done, but it allowed us to do anything we wanted to.

I think that, somehow, managed to make its way into the movie.

When we were doing the research on it, we were spending a lot of time talking to pathologists in various morgues, and they had the blackest sense of humour I’ve ever encountered! I think you have to if you’re going to do a job like that.

Herbert West has a good head on his shoulders.

Hill's Head: Baaaaaastaaaaaaaaaaaard.! Taglines West: Yes, doctor, it's Herbert West! What are you thinking? Hill's Head: Yoooooooouuuuu. C'mon, let's go somebody'll be coming any minute! West: He failed! Not I!ĭan: Herbert, you're insane, now what happened here? West: I had to kill him! Dan: What? He's dead? West. Now will you give me a hand!ĭan: Oh, man, if we get caught- West: Well, what will they do, embalm us? West: This is the freshest body that we could come across, save of killing one ourselves, and every moment that we spend talking about it costs us results. That is why I brought the infernal beast back to life in the first place. West: I will show you, then you will help me. And what would a note say, Dan? 'Cat dead details later'?ĭan: God, why does it make that sound? West: Birth is always painful.ĭan: It was dead! West: Twice. West: I was busy pushing bodies around as you well know. West: There was nothing more I could learn there.ĭan: You couldn't call, or write a note. I gave him life.Ĭain: What were you researching? West: Death. Nobody wants in, and ain't nobody gettin' out.ĭialogue Swiss Woman Doctor: You killed him! Herbert West: No I did not.

Mace: Don't know why they keep locked doors around here.

Interesting little la-bor-ah-tory you have here. I am not through here! I told you I have a theory: overdose!!.Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow. You'll never get credit for my discovery.You steal the secret of life and death and here you are, trysting with a bubble-headed co-ed. Don't expect it to tango it has a broken back.Do you agree he's dead now? Do you agree that he's dead now?.

We can achieve every doctor's dream! You'll be famous, and live lifetimes.
