Synopsis
Conducting clandestine experiments within the morgue at Miskatonic University, scientist Herbert West reveals to a fellow graduate student his groundbreaking work concerning the re-animation of fresh corpses.
Memorable quotes from Re-Animator
"Do you agree he's dead now? [picks up the dead cat and drops it with a clunk] Do you agree that he's dead now?"
"I must say, Dr. Hill, I'm very disappointed in you. You steal the secret of life and death and here you are, trysting with a bubble-headed co-ed. You're not even a second-rate scientist."
"You'll never get credit for my discovery. Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow."
"I am not through here! I told you I have a theory: overdose!! [wields two full reagent hypodermics]"
""How can you teach such drivel? These people are here to learn and you're closing their minds before they even have a chance!" [Herbert west to Dr. Hill after pencil snapping lesson]"
"Mace: [about the morgue] Don't know why they keep locked doors around here. Nobody wants in, and ain't nobody gettin' out."
"Swiss Woman Doctor: You killed him!"
"Herbert West: No I did not. I gave him life."
