If you have stumbled across this site, and don't have a clue what the ReAnimator series of movies are about, check out the trailer for the second movie Bride Of ReAnimator. A word of warning, all of the series are rated R. So if you are minor, or have a weak stomach don't press play. Remember, it's only just the trailer the actual movie is a lot more graphic. Any way, enjoy.

First HOUSE, then UNBOUND and finally BEGINS!
The name of the title of the next installment in the ReAnimator series, has been known now for quite some time. It is of course House Of ReAnimator. The next two though after it have not, until now. They are ReAnimator: UNBOUND and ReAnimator: BEGINS, or so IMDB tells us. Mind you IMDB has been known to get things wrong in the past, as it has in the present and will probably still get things wrong in the future.
The source doesn't appear to be reliable, as it is only in the comments section of the post. But hey, it had to have come from somewhere didn't it? What is written seems quite plausible, but could turn out to be just simply an over zealous fan wanting his turn at reporting news.
Brian Yunza, Stuart Gordon, Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton seem to have at least confirmed that House Of ReAnimator is a work in progress, even though production has not commenced yet. This has been mainly due to funding that it hasn't started yet, as finding backing is their problem at the moment.
The author of this information, goes by the name of "DrMulholland". Maybe he'll see this and respond, at least then we should find out where this information came from. For the time being though, this is what he has to say about the proposed new trilogy.
"Three more ReAnimator films with which to resolve the saga of Herbert West. The proposed first one, House Of ReAnimator would have West being called to the White House to re-animate the deceased Vice-President. Of course, by the time the dust settles, even the President has been re-animated and West is the power behind the throne.
The second would be ReAnimator: UNBOUND! West would have his own freedom amidst a war zone. There his experiments take him directly in conflict with religion and face to face with the Old Ones of Lovecraftian lore.
The final episode would be ReAnimator: BEGINS. After having his mind pretty much erased by the trauma of Unbound! West is brought back to his senses (during which we get to see some of West’s boyhood) by a mysterious doctor who turns out to be his mentor Dr. Gruber’s niece.
Back at the medical school in Switzerland (where it all began in the original ReAnimator) West recreates his early experiments, but makes the fatal mistake of breaking one of his basic tenants when he finds himself having feelings for....a woman."
Lets hope "DrMulholland" is right, I know I want him to be. You should also, or why are you reading this. Until next time Westies remember, Herbert didn't kill him, he gave him life.

Did I start this Blog, to soon?
Texas hosted their world famous, "FEAR FEST" convention on the weekend of March 23-25. One of the conventions guests, was none other than ReAnimator's Barbara Crampton who chatted with Dread Centrals' Johnny Butane about House of ReAnimator.
Of course he had to ask her about the status of House of ReAnimator.. since its been heard from both producer Brian Yuzna (who said they were still planning on doing a total of three more), Jeffrey Combs and Stuart Gordon (both of whom said it was all up to coming up with the cash), if nothing else he wanted to know what she thought of the idea.
What she had to say was very interesting, apparently since there is such an issue with funding and because the script is a parody of the Bush administration, there is some talk of making House of ReAnimator Stuart’s next Masters of Horror episode. Johnny Butane thinks that is the best choice as if the next season is green lighted by Showtime the funding will automatically be there, and it will get the episode out before there’s no Bush administration to satirize anymore.
As much as this guarantees the production of the movie, it makes it no longer an actual movie but a tv episode. Many fans were disappointed by the fact that Beyond ReAnimator did not receive a theatrical release, this would surely rub salt in their existing wounds. Stuart and Brian, please don't do it this way. The franchise is too good, to be destroyed as a tv episode. By this I mean all the good stuff will be watered down or taken out, as well as the length of it.
All I can say is 58 minutes versus an hour and a half or two hours, come on guys think about it. If it was done this way, you may as well do a ReAnimator Series. Hmmm . . . . that wouldn't be a bad idea, sometimes I surprise myself. Barbaras' statements, mirror that of fans postings on "House's" IMDB page. Lets hope they are all wrong.

Just Started - Introductory Ranting
Welcome people to ReAnimator Digest, a fan site set up mainly to focus on the ReAnimator series of films. Over the coming weeks and beyond, I will endeavor to bring you news and trivia regarding the announced film House Of ReAnimator. This movie I personally, along with the ReAnimator series fans across the world look forward to with great anticipation.
I have a little bit of history with Jeffrey Combs, main star of the movie. Several years back, I helped out Jeff's official site. I did this in the capacity of contributor and Assistant Webmaster, along with Donna McNutt who was the Webmaster. Perhaps she'd prefer Webmistress, just joking Donna if you are reading.
When I started at the site, I designed a t-shirt featuring Jeff. The t-shirt, I wore in a photo which was displayed on the staff page of the site. Jeff himself liked the t-shirt and asked Cynthia Zimmermann (Fan Club President), to ask me about it. I then sent Cynthia, the jpeg of the picture which I was told was going to end up on a t-shirt for him. I hope he got it, the guy's a legend.
Not a great deal of my content, ever made it to the site. This was due to a variety of problems, ranging from my inability to log into the site to hard drives dieing in my machine, with my work on them. I eventually had to give it away, due to personal commitments at the time. Okay, that's that story.
In addition to the ReAnimator movies, I will also cover other movies Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton have appeared in together. Their career paths have crossed several times, so far all being horror films except for Trancers II. So that's the guts of this blog site, ReAnimator, Jeff, the lovely Barbara and personal rantings. I hope you like it.
