When the only tool you have is Re-Animator goo, every problem looks like a reanimate-able corpse.

Glad to hear that MilDread agrees with all the people putting romantic gifsets of those two guys from reanimator on my Tumblr dashboard

So my favourite moment in Re-Animator is when Dan is having his meltdown in the pathology lab and Herbert goes "DAAAAAN" in the tone of a small child pleading with a parent. He *says* 'help me with this, we can bring him back to life' but he *means* 'help me with this, I can't lift this body onto the table myself'. And I think that's beautiful. I fuckin love Herbert.

"He's the re-animator, not the re-considerer!" almost made me choke on my water laughing. Thank you for that. 😅

If anyone HASN'T seen "The Frighteners" yet, it's peak Combs, and a perfect addition to any Reanimator binge. His portrayal of Milton Dammers completely unhinged, and it's glorious.

i don't want to live in a world where making someone explode and become a tentacle monster isn't a good idea

Herbert West will see a dead body and be like is anyone else gonna reanimate this and not wait for an answer

This is one of my favorite horror movies, and yes, Jeffrey Combs is one of my favorite actors. I still haven't seen Bride of Re-Animator or Beyond Re-Animator for some reason, but I think I'll get that done soon.

FYI there was also a "Re-Animator: The Musical", which included a blood-splash zone for the first couple rows. I wanted to go so bad when it was on in LA like 10 years ago haha

"Come on bro, just one more reanimation. Just one more reanimation, I swear it's gonna fix everything" - Herbert West, probably

"Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow," is a line I wish to use at some point in the future but admittedly if I can my life will have taken an odd turn.

When bringing up Jeffrey Combs's career, I'm surprised you didn't mention how he also played a Lovecraft parody (called Hatecraft, yes really) in Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc.

These Scaredy Cats summer themes remind me of summer reading lists... but with maybe more corpses and definitely more wet cat puppets

I think it's the Definitive Edition of the OST that straight up has "With humble apologies to Bernard Herrmann" written under Richard Band's credit, but that was genuinely among the funnier things I've seen when it comes to official acknowledgement of plagiarism. So much about Re-Animator is just endlessly entertaining, just... What a gift

Mildred’s makeup game is especially on point in this video. You really can’t go wrong with a smoked out wing.

I took a class back in the early 2000s called "American Gothic." We studied horror literature from the last 100 years and every week, the professor would book one of the auditoriums and screen a movie for us on Friday that was more or less based on the readings for the week. It was entirely optional to do, but everyone went and brought friends since it was open to the public. We watched Interview with the Vampire, American Gothic, and this amazing gem of a film. I'd already seen it, but I invited a bunch of friends to watch it since they'd never even heard of it. Listening to a room full of newbies reacting to this is one of my fondest memories of college.

The "bonk" noise was genius.

Mil's genuine glee at describing this movie is such a joy to watch. One of my favorite channels on the YouToobs.

Wow, Mildred, like I'm so old and broken that I immediately got the yippie ki yay Mr. Falcon/Falco reference. But thank you so much for explaining it anyway 😅😂

Totally OK with me! Re-Animator is a shocker but there is so much to love about it. Also Bride is a trip. Also #Danbert is totally a thing.

Scaredy Cats is basically always my favorite part of the day when it comes out. Thanks for covering schlocky movies that I will probably never watch but I still love hearing about

Jeffery Combs plays Ratchet in Transformers Prime and there's a recurring plot element around a glowing synthetic energon Ratchet concocts that can revive the dead

Jefferey Combs is in fact one of my favorite actors. Hes amazing on basically every Star Trek series and The 4400.

Summer is the season for horror and you can't convince me otherwise

Jeffrey Combs stared in a movie called Hammerhead Shark Frenzy and it was fantastic because of him. Definitely appreciate his contributions to the horror genre

I am absolutely flabbergasted that you have not seen Bride of reanimator It has probably one of the best endings of any horror movie can't wait to hear you talk about it 😁

Yessssssssssss Re-Animator is one of my all time faves!! Jeffrey Combs is *fantastic*. He and Sam Neill are two of my fave “horror” actors who people don’t always think of as horror actors.

Jeffery Combs also did an audio book (which is free on KZfaq) of the original reanimator which is really good. Just be warned, the original story has some of the worst of lovecraft's racism (which has been thankfully reinged in).

Simply shocked at how the phrase "wet puppets" wasn't mentioned at all in this video. Otherwise perfect.

Combs is absolutely ridiculously awesome in “Would You Rather”

Jeffrey Combs as West is one of my favorite performances in anything ever.

I've always enjoyed pairing Re-Animator with Evil Dead II for a gore-comedy double feature.

The Talking Heads poster is great. Though it would work better if the bad guy was a Psycho Killer who keeps you Up All Night , and ends up Burning Down the House.

I strongly recommend the audio book Reanimators by Pete Rawlik for an excellent retelling as West ventures around much of the Lovecraft mythos.

You can't just GET a job in a sideshow, Herbert. Those positions are extremely competitive.

Thanks for Re-Animating another classic franchise 😮

The best Scaredy Cats videos are the ones where Mildread clearly loves the topic and you can just tell they've had a blast writing and recording it. This is one of those videos. Their joy is palpable and I love it.

"You're just a dead head! A No-... body!!" He's so gleeful when he's being mean 🤣🤣🤣

The eyeliner and the glasses are really workin' together 👍 I have nothing else to contribute, just wanted to give some good vibes. Re-Animator's pretty great.

Well, you don't expect it to TANGO do you?" (West on Rufus's less than stellar postmortem dance moves)

Hoo boy! I am excited for the Bride of Reanimator. And when/if you get to Beyond Reanimator, you have to see the "Move your Dead Bones" Music video that accompanies it

I think the FX for "Re-Animator" were a main article in one of the first issues of Fangoria I ever read.

Mildread your eyeliner is on point. Also, I love how much you love horror movies and wet puppets and your channel brings me joy.

New scaredy cats makes my day so much better.

If you have occasion to dress up as Herbert West, green highlighter ink diluted with a lot of water looks perfect in the syringe.

I heartily approve of this channel's new Jeffery Combs-centric direction

Summer time at Scaredy Cats is finally here

In the later months the list of channels where I watch every single video as soon as it comes out has been substantially reduced, but this is definitely one of them. ❤

Still one of my favorite horror movies of all time tbh

if you can find it there was a cut floating about with the SA cut out, if not some had the time stamps posted to skip it! You don't miss anything plot wise

Hey Mildred! Will you also be covering Re-Penetrator? I'll say I was impressed by the makeup artist's dedicaton. In a porn parody, an actress portraying a corpse corpse wearing lucite platforms, they actually applied makeup to thw soles of her feet as they would be visible. And thats the kind of craftsmanship we expect from this franchise.

"Yippe-Kay-Yay, Victor Falco!" really needs to be a t-shirt. I keep throwing money at my monitor to make it happen.

"If you ask me to conceptualize it, I will tell you to leave," is going into my echolalia bank.

This ENTIRE time I was convinced that you did a video on Re-Animator, and that I went to watch Re-Animator BECAUSE of it, and this is how I find out I made up my own Scaredy Cats headcanon?!

I was so hyped for this video and it did not disappoint, literally had a couple of out loud belly laughs, perfection.

I really recommend watching this movie in standard definition or a lower resolution deliberately, much like the author did for this video. The low resolution in the original actually hid the deficiencies of 80s horror movie make up, I'd say that goes for most of them.

Jeffrey Combs being described as either you love him or don't know him is my new definition of an irrefutable fact

Enjoyed this a lot and I'm now impatient for whichever part of this series includes the song Move Your Dead Bones because that was the extent of my Re-Animator knowledge up until just now. Seriously though, that song rules.

And what would a note say, Dan? "Cat dead, details later?"

Saw this in NYC opening day. Class of '85!!!

As poorly aged as the assault is, i appreciate the implied pun that Dr Hill "gave her head"

Mildred, you're killing it. Great job

i just finished finished watching Re-Animator and Mildread's renarration of the whole goofy mess immediately thereupon and this is so perfect, i wish more of life was like this

Jeffrey Combs has my heart

OMG you are gonna LOVE bride of re-animator, especially because it confirms Herbert is in love with Dan bye

Reanimator is one of my comfort movies. Thanks for the video.

I heard Yipee Ki Yay "melon farmer" when I was a kid. That's hysterical.

I've been waiting so long for you to talk about Re-Animator

You know, listening to your cadence and voices at the very beginning and I can't help but think you'd be a really good voice actor/ess

You continue to have the finest of tastes, Mildred. Reanimator is one of those special movies that brings me nothing but horror joy to talk about.

Woooo hurray for the algorithm, give me more content just like this! My first experience with Jeffery Coombs was in The Freighteners back in the previous century. He is insane creepy bonkers to 11 in that movie and I've been a fan ever since. Scaredy Cats is one of my favorite channels, Mil-Dred has excellent taste in movies, this comment is for you, blessings of the engagement to you from the algorithm!

I liked Jeffery Combs in the movie Frighteners, he and the other cast members were the best part of that movie. The original Lovecraft story is my favorite of the author's work and I like aspects of that story better than what they did in movie. The Dr. Hill character was based on the character, Major Sir Eric Moreland Clapham-Lee, who in the original story was decapitated in an accident and is reanimated by West and then goes on to command an army of reanimated zombies. I like the idea that Clapham-Lee has a wax head mounted on top of his neck stump to simulate a real head and a special contraption connected to the base of his neck with hose connected to a suitcase with his real head that he has to carry around with him. I thought that was very imaginative.

Spooky Heather Sylvia makes me smile every time

It's Scaredy Cat Summer, baaybeeee

Jeffrey Combs is either one of your favorite actors or you are not familiar with who Jeffrey Combs is. 😂😂😂

"and returns Rufus to the dead position."😂😂😂

Jeffrey Combs voices The Question on Justice League Unlimited. He's the best part of the show.

Fans of this film NEED to watch Hammer Horrors Frankenstein series of films starring Peter Cushing. Their Victor Frankenstein and Hubert West is literally the same character to the point I think Hammer secretly adapted the Lovecraft story and named him Frankenstein for brand recognition.

This is literally one of my favorite Lovecraft stories I can’t believe there’s a movie

One of the suggested videos after this is Nicolas Cage in 2019's Color Out of Space and I'm terrified without even needing to watch it. The munnie I have saved is going straight into my Patreon fund this month. You're welcome, Bobby.

Jeffrey Combs is perfect as Herbert West, I couldn't think of any other actor who could play that character so well.

I’m glad you are able to continue this work. I hope you continue for as long as it brings you joy. Also, Bobby Duke still brings a smile to my face.

There are extra scenes in the R rated (censored) versions that show Hill's psychic powers, he hypnotizes the dean before gives West the boot. The limited edition blu ray has a custom cut that adds all the extra scenes from the R version into the unrated version to create a new extended unrated cut.

Jeffrey Combs was in a movie called Motivational Growth where he plays a mold growing in a guy's bathroom.

I got your Ninja Turtles/Die Hard reference and it was a very good joke.

3:20, I appreciate and applaud your joke Mildred

Lovecraft and Combs go together like peas and carrots

As someone who ALSO friggin' loves Re-Animator, loved this video and I'm excited to see the others. I've never actually watched the sequels, so I'm curious whether or not I should give them a watch.

That's the trouble today. Not enough new oozes.

"what I did was I made an excellent joke" I felt that oh my god, some references are too good for anyone to understand them without an explanation.

Cat death leaves me out. I did listen to a guy do a reading of the original story on another channel though.

Yessssss, this was such a treat to see in the feed, and of course an even greater treat to watch. Combs as Herbert West is iconic (especially for us horror-loving trans dudes), but I had never looked into the rest of his career! Thank you so much for righting that wrong in my life, and putting any of the bizarre ride that is Gotham in your show for a glorious few seconds.

I will make sure to look up Jeffrey combs' work, I did love him in this, and had no idea he was The Question lol

That Die Hard joke was worth the explanation. Thank you. 🤣

This film years before the iconic screenwriting guide "Save the Cat" was written.

I definitely need to find time for more Yuzna and Combs movies, they've never failed me. Not sure if I can call myself a fan of these frames for Mildread, but keep trying things.

I was just re-(hehehe)watching DS9. Blew me away. Good to see more Re-animator content from you. Cheers

I love Re-Animator so much. I've never seen any of the sequels, so maybe I should watch them now to prepare for your videos.

the parable of the scorpion and the frog with regards to mister west’s proclivities is fucking hilarious

This channel is a wonderful thing. Horror/nostalgia/comedy and of course, the inimitable Mildred, the only person on Earth I've heard say that they watched 'The Stuff' other than myself lol.
