Dawn of the Re-Animator Prequel Story. The complete series!
COLLECTOR'S ITEM
BASED ON THE CULT FAVORITE RE-ANIMATOR FILM.
THRILL TO THE MISADVENTURES OF HERBERT WEST - MAD SCIENTIST FROM HP LOVECRAFT'S RE-ANIMATOR AND THE CULT FILM SERIES!
Dawn of the Re-Animator is a prequel to the original movie. It's set right after the prologue of that film, but before Herbert West travels from Switzerland to America. Voodoo hougan (that's right: voodoo. In Switzerland); helicopters and zombies; ski-mobiles and kinky situations.
Re-Animator, one of the most popular horror movies of the 1980s, is a gore-fest about a scientist who brings the dead back to life. Dawn of the Re-Animator is a prequel to the movie, detailing the adventures of young Herbert West as he struggles not only to prove that his serum works, to avoid arrest for murder, and at the same time, to not lose his University funding!
West’s troubles begin when he uses the serum on his colleague Dr. Gruber, apparently dead from a heart attack. Unfortunately, there are some rather grisly and eye-popping (literally!) side-effects, none of which seem to include Gruber’s reanimation. This, of course, brings him into conflict with the police, the University’s Board of Inquiry, and Gruber’s estranged daughter.
Meanwhile, the powerful Erich Metler, a man obsessed with immortality, wants the secret of West’s formula, and has already unleashed his zombie thugs to retrieve it.
