A lot of the tension between Herbert and Meg probably could have been avoided by them bonding over their mutual hatred of Dr. Hill. Herbert mutters something about Hill being a filthy plagiarist and hack when Meg is in earshot and her ears perk up like a bloodhound and she’s like “omg right he’s fucking awful”. Dan comes home to Meg telling Herbert about that time she caught Hill sniffing her hair over sodas and snacks. Rufus is asleep in Herbert’s lap. Meg forgets that she came over to see Dan and he ends up being the third wheel on his own date night because Meg finds out Herbert has never seen Terms of Endearment and oh my god he has to watch, it’s the best romance of all time and Dan never wants to watch it. Herbert gives him a stern look and merely says “Daniel!” in a mock scolding tone. Dan ends up going to bed halfway through the movie - partially because it’s almost midnight and he’s exhausted and partially because he can’t stand the snappiness of it - figuring Meg will head out after the movie ends. Instead she and Herbert go out and egg Hill’s car.

random guy, about me as he passed by me: HER SHIRT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FEMINISM!!!!

the shirt in question:

me, internally: first of all, i’m a guy, and second——this was a quote by a misogynistic twink!!

me: wrong on all counts, jackass!!

THEY USE PRONOUNS!!!!!!!🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Btw guys literally EVERY character in Re-animator is transgender, they all told me individually, I wouldn't lie about this‼️‼️

Also, Herbert and Meg are mtf and ftm hostility, this is the kick in the stomach Herb deserved (lovingly)

finished the reanimator novelization and here are my notes.

stoner dan cain is real and true and he’s in my dream blunt rotation

in the comic his middle name was elston but in this it’s jonathan. what’s the truth…

canonically canadian herbert was shocking but not as shocking as the serum he used on his shitty roommate to turn his semen green forever.

also he’s 24. what a young fellow.

this book was not edited very carefully. not to be a dweeb but i haven’t seen anyone mention the amount of grammatical errors, incorrect references (looking at u larry talbot/tolbot), lack of attention paid to paragraph cuts in the reprint, and literal page by page contradictions on the lore. (claiming hill’s brain/head can feel every sensation that his body feels and then literally on the next page saying that there is no shared sensation)

meg gets a lot more character depth here and i love it i love her meg halsey you will always be famous

and yes she was a horse girl. this is very important to the lore in my opinion.

everyone’s seen the famous “dan cain tells a cop he has AIDS so he can sneak into the hospital scene” but i can tell you all with certainty that it doesn’t make any more sense in context. he could have lied about anything. how and why did he land on that.

they’re a lot clearer about how exactly the reagent works which i thought was neat, although they kept describing it as yellow. that shit is geen

herbert west canonically not Not queer (says nothing when accused of it, looks at floor awkwardly) and everyone in the hospital has clocked him.

way more in depth about how much of a freak dr hill is.

they named all the reanimated corpses which was nice cause even when i’m watching the movie there’s too much going on to recognize any of them so it cleared things up and i finally comprehended for the first time that it was hill’s intestines that strangled herbert and that it was because of the reagent overdose. or whatever. that was probably obvious but i missed it on every one of my watches.

herbert mentions saints and how he wishes gruber could be canonized. this fuels my raised catholic herbert vs raised protestant meg theory and adds to their already powerful beef.

the controversial laid to rest/plagiarist line is in the book sort of. and i’m sorry to say it’s laid to rest. they did swap up some other lines (side note: why did they mess with who’s going to believe a talking head get a job in a sideshow) so this could mean nothing it is just interesting.

this line was crazy.

TLDR: not the greatest piece of literature but pretty fun and adds some cool background information for the characters. would reccomended.

Here Comes the Bride of Re-Animator article by Chas Balun

from Fangoria #91 | April 1990 (pg. 36 - 40)

bonus highlights because this article altered my brain chemistry:

Right out the gate we are off to the races. Chas really said, "this shit FUCKIN RULES and I will NOT be objective about it!!" Plus calling Herbert, "the bespectacled little guy???" This guy GETS IT!

I too am thankful Dan refuses to leave his "buddy." Is calling two guys "buddies" the gay equivalent of "gal pals?" More at 11.

Fellas....FELLAS??? Commenting on a shirtless Bruce's beefy physique and referring to Jeff as, "small, even delicate," HELLO??? Living for this guy being completely unapologetic in appreciating their physiques. Very understandable.

And lastly, you can't have a comment from Bruce without him being #1 Dan-hater. Calling him a wimp and then confirming that Dan is totally fucked up in the head. Get his ass, king!
