Canon about Daniel Cain from the RA novelization:
* His middle name is Johnathan
* Attended Johns Hopkins University for undergrad.
* His father was a lawyer. There’s a bit of a conflicting error in the text that states Dan “enjoyed listening to his lectures (even now),” but then later in the book claims his parents died in a car crash when he was an infant. It’s hard to discern which storyline Rovin is following.
* The death of his parents created a kind of trauma that arrises every time he’s faced with death of a patient or anyone else. (Mainly Rufus, in this example.)
* Raised by a “spinster” aunt who “had the sensibilities of a nun” (Meg’s words).
* Hooked up with at least five girls at Miskatonic before meeting Meg. (“Damn, Daniel!”)
* Gets teased about his last name by a colleague, who refers to him as “Nova,” “Coe,” or “Candy.”
* Former roommate was named Eddie Grimley. Eddie’s parents had a lot of money that afforded them the rent of a whole house. Eddie dropped out of medical school to become a dancer. This is what led Dan to post the vacancy.
* Dan is a habitual stoner.
* Is a football fan, at least enough to hold a casual conversation about it.
* He and Meg had been dating for six months before Herbert’s arrival at MU. They were already engaged.
* Has Star Trek bedsheets. (Yes, it was pertinent for me to restate that.)

Canon about Herbert West from the RA novelization (Before Miskatonic):
* Very likely killed his parents, even if it was accidental. (Chemical fire.) Likely not convicted, as he inherited and then sold his family estates.
* He was 13 when this happened, and spent the next 5 years in the foster system.
* As a child, he developed a stiff neck from hunching over a microscope for so long. He tried to amend this by balancing encyclopedias on his forehead.
* Has an aversion to sound. His parents watched a lot of TV, which held no interest for him. One of the reasons he liked Zurich was because of how quiet it was.
* Also has instances where he takes others’ statements literally. (Very autistic-coded.)
* Poisoned one of his foster siblings, resulting in him having green semen. (How Herbert even KNEW about this side effect is never explained. Yick!)
* From Ontario, Canada, originally.
* Attended New York University for undergraduate. They gave him a full scholarship.
* Studied with Gruber for approximately 3 years before his untimely death. (West was 24 at the time.)
* Wrote a complaint letter about the medical community in a science journal that attracted Hans Gruber’s attention.
* Herbert got everything in Gruber’s will. (How this wasn’t grounds for a murder trial is beyond me.)
* Spent his childhood talking to himself while watching the grass grow through the sidewalks. His parents (unsurprisingly) sent him to a psychiatrist.
* Had an unspoken father/son relationship with Dr. Gruber. (BTW, Hill’s mentioning of Gruber is the reason he’s crying in that deleted scene, not Dan.)

Dan + Herbert Fics <3
This is part two of compiling some of my favourite DanBert works that I've found on AO3. As I did last time, all the links are added and I wrote little summaries for each!
✶ ✶ ✶
Hoping to Hit You Somewhere Vital - xXHacksawXx
Dan presents Herbert with an ultimatum; for Dan to stay, Herbert needs to stop taking his reagent. This is all fun and games until the withdrawal kicks in and Dan is the one there holding his hand. Overall a really heartwarming work, in my opinion about Dan being there for Herbert in a low place.
Determined Heart and Resolved Will (Or, The Son of Reanimator) - Anonymous��
Recommended to me by biscuit-boxers, this is a chapter work about Dan reconnecting with Herbert five years after the massacre at Miskatonic. Herbert has effectively given up on the work and as much as Dan tries to tell himself that he hates Herbert for what he did, he can’t stop himself from helping him. Trouble ensues and they’re back in the mess.
Within the first bit of the first chapter I was hooked, this work was so good and I don’t want to ramble too much about it, but it’s a must read in my opinion.
Reanimator One-Shots - Sad_Gay_Whore
Just as the title states, a collection of one shots for our favourite comrades in science. This one features a vampire au in one that I found interesting as well as showcasing Dan's lesbian aunts in another. Overall, the prompts for each weren't like anything I'd seen before and they were a fun, quick read.
Jealousy - nekromantik
A collection of times that Herbert's jealously for Dan's love interests got in the way of Dan's love life, until the moment that Herbert realizes why he's jealous in the first place. A pretty quick read, just one chapter but I found this one kind of fun-- jealous Herbert is a goofy guy.
The Less We Say About it, the Better - StopTalkingAtMe
Primarily a sick fic of Herbert not feeling well and Dan insisting he get some rest. Herbert goes in and out of dreams while he tries to get better, about the past and the crypt where he nearly died. All the while Dan is there to take care of him. This was a really sweet work, showing lots of intimate moments between the two while Herbert gets some rest for once.
There Will Always Be Life After Death - Sad_Gay_Whore
A currently unfinished work, it has three chapters so far (and un-updated since January) I'm really hoping the author continues because I really love this work. It falls post Bride, where Herbert survived the crypt and finds Dan some months later. Sprinkle in some underlying feelings and you have my preferred poison of mad scientist slow burn.

Herbert West - SFW Alphabet
Hello! This is my personal take on the sfw alphabet for my favourite mad scientist. Want to point out that the version of this alphabet that I use is slightly different from the others that I've seen, as I've mixed and matched to make a version that fits my personal preferences.
Other than that, I hope you enjoy! This is obliviously based off my personal interpretation of Herbert, so if you disagree with anything I've stated here, that's fine, I'm just doing this for fun! <3
✶ ✶ ✶
a - affection
Not something that Herbert is well versed in. He himself doesn't always understand personal bubbles, getting in his partner's face or touching their arms/shoulders etc, which can be seen in the way that Herbert interacts with Dan.
However, I see Herbert as the type of person who doesn't like that same thing projected on himself, at least not all the time. To me Herbert prefers touch when he's the one initiating it, and otherwise if people are touching him, he can get uncomfortable sometimes. Though there's leniency regarding this if Herbert is comfortable and familiar with the person/people touching him.
b - butterflies
Herbert West, feeling nervous? Surely you must be joking.
... or at least that's the vibe he gives off. Though I can see Herbert being the type to get nervous around people he cares about in the name of being nervous that he's going to screw things up with them, or that they'll leave. Something that is evident with the relationship Herbert has with Dan.
c - cuddles
Alike physical affection, I don't think Herbert would be crazy about cuddles unless they are something that he initiates. As well, I don't see him as the kind of person who would sit and cuddle for a long time.
This is for two reasons, one being that he'd want to get back to work and the other being that Herbert to me is the type who doesn't like to be physically hot and after a while of cuddling he gets uncomfortable if he overheats.
d - domesticity
Not interested in settling down. Herbert is nowhere near being the person who ever considered marriage, kids, and a white picket fence to call his own one day.
As for domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning, I don't think Herbert would be a very good cook, but not due to lack of skill. I think he'd be a bad cook because he never put time into it, always trying to make the quickest meal for himself so as to get back to work as quickly as possible. In the department of cleaning, I see Herbert as a little bit of a clutter bug. If he can find it, then it doesn't need to be put away and the idea of dust doesn't bother him so why take the time to clean it?
e - evident
Herb can sometimes be a difficult person to read. He’s not the kind of person to flaunt his feelings on his sleeve or necessarily talk about them, but if you know him well enough to watch his behaviour, he can be easy to decipher.
Showing interest for a partner, in specific, he shows interest by allowing them to get close, by using their names rather than their surnames, allowing them into his space, spending time with them, and paying attention/memorizing their mannerisms.
f - favourite thing about their partner
Herbert's favourite thing about his partner is seeing them when they are passionate about something. He enjoys seeing the same light flash behind their eyes that he exhibits when he talks about the work.
g - gentle
Can be a little rough sometimes, but it's not because he means to be. When Herbert is being rough without intention, it's because he's excited about something or trying to get someone's attention and he's not quite processing that he's being a little rougher.
This comes out in grabbing someone's arm a little tighter, or perhaps using a sharper tone if he's becoming impatient.
h - hugs
Doesn't hate them, but like most aspects of physical affection with Herbert, keep it to a minimum. Hugs aren't something that he initiates himself, though he'll accept goodbye/hello hugs for the most part, but hugs for no reason? He doesn’t quite understand the point and doesn’t like being enveloped that much so often.
If Herbert did initiate a hug with a partner, it's a quick sign something is way off. That he's beyond upset about something and seeking comfort which in itself is a huge red flag that something is wrong.
i - i love you
God awful about talking about his feelings in general, so the words "I love you" leaving Herbert's mouth sit at the same level of rarity as a comet passing every fifty years.
j - jealousy
Oh my GOD.
Green really is this mans colour, because he is painted with it the second any person shows interest in his partners. It's primarily in the name of wanting their attention and time.
This is something so readily drawn out already in the movies, specifically in the name of Herbert being jealous of all Dan's love interests to the degree that he treats them even more unkindly than anyone else he interacts with.
k - kissing
More inclined to give his partners kisses than hugs. He enjoys quick pecks on the cheeks / lips to say hello and goodbye, or as an act of affection when he's excited / pleased about something.
l - love language
Acts of Service ; not being the particularly physically affectionate type and having a lot of his time being prioritized by work, it means a lot for Herb to do things for his partners. Picking up the new record from their favourite band on the way home from work or making them tea while they are under the weather.
Evidence of this can be seen in Bride of Reanimator where Herbert steals back Megan’s heart for Daniel and bases the entire bride around things that he knows Dan would enjoy in a partner, rather than creating his own ideal creation.
m - morning
Always an early riser. Sees sleeping in as a waste of time that could otherwise be used productively. However, he can be enticed to stay a moment or two longer if his partner wants to cuddle but he never stays for long before getting dressed and getting to work.
n - night
Working. After getting home from the hospital, evenings are reserved for the work, though there are occasions where he can be dragged from the basement in favour of a movie and dinner in the house.
o - openness
Not at all. Trying to talk to this man about anything is a goddamned nightmare, he’s way too stubborn and emotionally thick that you almost have to beat the goddamned words out of him.
p - public displays of affection
Considering Herb’s semi-touchiness around physical affection as a whole, he wouldn’t be the kind of person who would ever want/think to make out or anything like that in public. Physical intimacy to him is seen as more personal, so he’s more comfortable with displays of affection in private/safe environments.
An exception is stress or just generally being close to his partners. As shown in the movie, Herb grabs and touches Dan in the mortuary while talking to the security guard, because he’s in a state of panic. As well, even throughout the day working in the hospital in Bride, Herb can be seen walking/standing quite close to Dan at all times. I personally think it’s a comfort thing because he's comfortable with Dan and not a lot of others.
q - quality time
Most of Herbert’s time is reserved for his work, so when he does crawl out of the basement to spend time with his partner, it’s not always for long periods. He’s not the kind of person who needs interaction, he’s happy and comfortable to go without it.
Though Herbert is also a huge fan of parallel play– he really enjoys being able to have his partner in his space or be in their space while they do their own thing. Because it allows him to work while also spending time in his partner's space.
r - romance
Definitely not his strong suit. Herbert is a bit romantically unspoken. He was never done to date around, so it was never something he needed to learn and he was never really taught what engaging with someone in that way looks like.
Sometimes it bothers him a little because he wants to be more versed in that for his partner, especially if they have a good handle on it, but it makes him frustrated to ask for help in something so mundane.
s - security
Herbert is very protective of two things; his work and his very few loved ones. They are all he has in his life that matters to him to any degree, and he works to keep them safe with everything that he has. Whether that is physically fighting to protect against a reanimated body, or telling someone off who made the mistake of picking on his partner. Herbert is not afraid to bare his teeth.
t - tease
Massive. Herbert loves to get his partners riled up by poking fun at them and having a little chuckle.
A specific way that Herbert likes to tease or play is by startling his partners, which can be seen in the way that Herbert sneaks up on Dan and spooks him, immediately followed by amused laughter.
u - understanding
It can be difficult for Herbert to understand. He doesn't comprehend emotions in quite the same way, being more calculated and reasonable, so when his partner comes to him with problems and are trying to vent, he doesn’t always get what they are saying. He doesn’t always comprehend why getting yelled by a professor makes his parter so upset, or why they lets the others opinions take such a toll on them.
He does his best though, because he wants to help, it’s just often difficult for him to get it.
v - value
Although Herbert has a difficult time expressing to his partner and the people that he cares about that he loves them, they mean everything to him. His work is his passion, but at the end of the day he can’t go on without Dan and he can't go without his partner, they came into his life and made things worth it. The first people in his life who cared about him, and made him understand why life was so important.
w - wild card
Herbert is the best partner to have if you are sick, which is kinda obvious, but I can't the idea of Herbert taking care of a sick partner out of my head. He'd be so professional about it, giving them the drugs they need to beat the cold they have, but there's also that flicker of worry as he gets them into bed and orders them to rest. <3
x - xray
Is good at reading his partners when he has the mind to pay attention. Herbert is often so enveloped in his work that sometimes he neglects to pay attention to the people in his life until it is so evident that something is wrong or going on.
Once he realizes that something is not right, he is there and trying to help them fix the problem, cursing himself for not noticing sooner.
y - yearning
Doesn’t yearn for his partner often, but hates to admit that he does. He could’ve died working in his basement before he met them, but after? There are times he misses them and wants to be with them, though it can be hard for him to admit. Sometimes he comes up from the basement when something isn’t working, or when he can say he actually needs a break to seek them out.
z - zappy
It took a long while for Herbert to become comfortable with his partner. He grew up with neglectful parents and then was bounced from foster homes until he went to university where he didn’t really have any friends for years (inferred from the novelization). He didn’t have anyone to care about or who cared about him for practically the whole of his life, so he wasn’t used to the notion of allowing someone close.

Re-Animator Film Facts
Some of my favourite fun facts about my favourite H.P. Lovecraft film adaptation. Enjoy!
Here is the original source where I found most of these facts complied, there are more here I didn’t include if you’d like to check out the full article!
✶ ✶ ✶
Stuart Gordon got the idea for the film from believing that there were too many Dracula inspired movies and not enough Frankenstein ones.
Gordon wanted to initially film the movie in black and white to give it the atmosphere of an old monster movie.
The film went through twenty-four gallons of fake blood.
Before production, various members of the cast and crew visited an insane asylum for research.
In the actors commentary for the film, Barbara Crampton recalled Bruce Abbott gifting her the jacket that he wore in the film, and that she still has it.
The entire film was shot in eighteen days.
The reagent in the film was glow stick juice, which Jeffrey Combs advises people not to drink because apparently that stuff is toxic.
Jeffrey Combs recalls in the actors commentary having to give David Gale cigarettes while he was stuck under tables during the headless Dr. Hill scenes.
The opening scene of the movie was filmed last.
One of the actors on the film scared a gas station attendant because they were covered in the fake blood from set.
David Gale's wife was so enraged by the "head" scene that while watching the movie, she left the theatre.
For certain scenes with dead Rufus, a real dead cat was used.
Re-Animator was one of many films that Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton co-starred on, others including From Beyond, Castle Freak, and The Evil Clergyman.

♥︎ Trans Herbert West Head-Cannons ♥︎
Some head-cannons I have for Herbert West as a trans man, plus a few mentions of Dan x Herbert. <3
✶ ✶ ✶
Before Herbert had top surgery and he was binding, he’d constantly forget to take breaks while working and now gets back pain because of it.
Sometimes if it’s really bothering him, Dan will give him little massages or bring him pain meds while he’s working.
Didn’t get bottom surgery and does not intent to, though he has had a hysterectomy. No babies for Herbie.
If Herbert was not the one who gave himself his top surgery somehow (this mans is a menace to society, there’s a fifty fifty that he could do it) he’d constantly complain about the scaring and how he could have done a better job of it.
Similarly to this, I read something about how Germany was apparently better with gender affirming care in the eighties and that's the reason that Herbert moved to Switzerland for a time.
A lot of the resentment that Herbert bares for women comes from a place of not only jealously of them (regarding the way that they get Dan's attention), but also in name of Herbert resenting his own body which is similar to theirs.
Dan helping Herbert with shots, solely based off the deleted scene from the first movie where Dan helps Herbert with his shots. <3
Herbert would be more than capable of doing them himself, he is not squeamish around needles whatsoever, but there would be evenings that he'd be so exhausted from not sleeping and his hands would be shaking. Dan would walk in and catch him trying to do it and take the needle from him to do it himself.
Not having an aversion to blood because he had to get used to dealing with it on a monthly basis since puberty.

Queer Coding in Re-Animator!
A mini list of my favourite works that examine Re-Animator through the ways in which it is queer coded!
✶ ✶ ✶
"Refuse of God's Failures" and Transness in Bride of Re-Animator - Logan Ashley Kisner. Gayly Dreadful.
https://www.gaylydreadful.com/blog/pride-2021-refuse-of-gods-failures-and-transness-in-bride-of-re-animator
A short piece that talks about how Bride of Re-Animator exhibits symbolism of the trans community through themes of body modification and creation.
Queering the Slasher : Re-Animator - vide0 n4sty. youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGQe9CmBsN0&list=LL&index=1
A video essay which analyzes Herbert West in specific as an example of a queer character in horror. As well as how the Re-Animator films are queer coded overall.
Made to be Monsters ; 'Re-Animator' - Logan Ashley Kisner. An Injustice!
https://aninjusticemag.com/made-to-be-monsters-re-animator-659943b944df
Another piece by Kisner, this work is longer and goes into more detail about the queer coding of both the first and second films. Specifically they again talk about trans coding and symbolism that can be found in the movies, though this time more through the lens of Herbert being a trans man rather than relating it to the Bride.
