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.
herbert west is a funny little man when he confronts dr hill and is disappointed in him for being a horny creep. he doesnt care about the girl, hes upset that he has the power of life and death and uses it 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.
This gloriously underrated classic was actually my first experience of the amazing Mr. Combs and when I fell in love with his acting! Finally getting around to DS9 twenty years later was an entire treat for me. 🖤
Yeah but he played a law enforcement individual in that film. Bad man. Broke the law. Just got right in the way of Dr. Lynskey's investigation, tried to turn a simple con man into a mass-multiple murderer... Bad guy, all around.
I remember hating that movie when I saw it in theaters back in the late nineties, but I gave it another shot as an adult and I don't know what I was on about! That movie rocks!
"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.
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
I saw it! George Wendt (Norm from Cheers) played Dean Halsey in that one, and Stuart Gordon (director of the movie) worked on it in I believe a writing and producing capacity. The blood was food dye mixed with baby shampoo, which allowed it to wash out easier, but the front few rows all got garbage bag ponchos regardless.
I have been looking all over the Internet to find this!! There are clips out there, so obviously it's been recorded, but I haven't found the whole thing 😭😭😭
It's going to hit different with different folks. I reviewed it for a newspaper and it was certainly fun, but not scary. It has a dedicated fan base, but is more interested in being funny than horrific. Not my cup of dry leaf water, but certainly lots of folks enjoyed it.
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.
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
@@One-ct3xe He should have stolen MORE of Herrmann's ideas, at least then he'd HAVE ideas!!! Instead his whole soundtrack's drowned out by an accompanying tempo composed entirely of snapping pencils
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.
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.
Jeffery Combs also did an audio book (which is free on UA-cam) 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).
@@Jakeshark It's an adventure! At least it's right there in the open though, you never have to worry if Lovecraft is trying to like, secretly imply something. It's just right there.
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
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 😅😂
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
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.
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.
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 😁
Same. Really just peak late 80's early 90's horror. it was the movie that made me believe we were entering into a new era of legit good horror that could still be fun. It didn't end up being true, but "Bride..." still made me believe. I even had the movie poster for "Bride...". The large format you would find in video rental shops. I am so sad it is lost to time now.. Next episode is gonna be a real banger!
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 plays Ratchet in Transformers Prime and there's a recurring plot element around a glowing synthetic energon Ratchet concocts that can revive the dead
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.
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
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. ❤
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.
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.
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
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?!
Re-Animator is one of the best! “Mr. West, I suggest you get a PEN!” And thank you for calling out Lovecraft as a racist. It's important that we keep that in mind👊🏼
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!
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.
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.
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.
The second one is pretty fantastic. I can't remember the others but if you're a fan, they're tolerable but no where as juicy or well made as the first two. I think the last one mixed Reanimator with From Beyond and it just didn't land...not enough budget.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Oh that movie is such wasted potential. A few more drafts and a better marketing campaign and it could have been the first successful superhero film that wasn't DC or Marvel.
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.
Honestly I can't wait for you to get to Beyond Reanimator, not for the movie itself, but for the tie-in music video Move Your Dead Bones, a great song that more people need to know about.
Remenber when Jeffrey Combs was in "The Frighteners" (1996, Peter Jackson), and the girl says "we have to re-animate him" (him=Michael J Fox), and he he looks her in the eye and says "WHY WOULD WE DO THAT" (sorry if not the exact quote, I just remember that I alone in the theater cackled like a madman when that came up)
When the only tool you have is Re-Animator goo, every problem looks like a reanimate-able corpse.
This! And it gets so much worse in the sequels too. Even though re-animating corpses consistently ends poorly.
With the bonus that every problem that isn't directly a reanimate-able corpse... just turn it INTO that problem, and you already have the answer!
Things that Herbert would say to horrified onlookers
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.
herbert west is a funny little man
when he confronts dr hill and is disappointed in him for being a horny creep. he doesnt care about the girl, hes upset that he has the power of life and death and uses it for THAT
"He's the re-animator, not the re-considerer!" almost made me choke on my water laughing. Thank you for that. 😅
Honestly a perfect summary of his character.
Damn it i gotta reading the comments and spoiling jokes and stuff for myself 😄
i don't want to live in a world where making someone explode and become a tentacle monster isn't a good idea
Then I guess the question is, do you want to be reanimated in it?
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.
And if you need the deal sweetened on this particular film, it also has Michael J. Fox and Jake Busey.
This gloriously underrated classic was actually my first experience of the amazing Mr. Combs and when I fell in love with his acting! Finally getting around to DS9 twenty years later was an entire treat for me. 🖤
Yeah but he played a law enforcement individual in that film. Bad man. Broke the law. Just got right in the way of Dr. Lynskey's investigation, tried to turn a simple con man into a mass-multiple murderer... Bad guy, all around.
I remember hating that movie when I saw it in theaters back in the late nineties, but I gave it another shot as an adult and I don't know what I was on about! That movie rocks!
Then theres star trek DS9 to see Combs play like 4 different characters
"Come on bro, just one more reanimation. Just one more reanimation, I swear it's gonna fix everything" - Herbert West, probably
I swear to God, I'll go re-hab I just need one last hit
Herbert West will see a dead body and be like is anyone else gonna reanimate this and not wait for an answer
"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.
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
That sounds like so much fun!
I saw it! George Wendt (Norm from Cheers) played Dean Halsey in that one, and Stuart Gordon (director of the movie) worked on it in I believe a writing and producing capacity. The blood was food dye mixed with baby shampoo, which allowed it to wash out easier, but the front few rows all got garbage bag ponchos regardless.
That sounds amazing!
I have been looking all over the Internet to find this!! There are clips out there, so obviously it's been recorded, but I haven't found the whole thing 😭😭😭
It's going to hit different with different folks. I reviewed it for a newspaper and it was certainly fun, but not scary. It has a dedicated fan base, but is more interested in being funny than horrific.

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.
Bride is good! Beyond is terrible but it *does* have a willy that goes running around on its own, so who can say
The commentary on Bride of Reanimator is awesome fun!
Mildred’s makeup game is especially on point in this video. You really can’t go wrong with a smoked out wing.
These Scaredy Cats summer themes remind me of summer reading lists... but with maybe more corpses and definitely more wet cat puppets
Excuse you, but that cat puppet was BONE DRY!
@@zachmanning2609 Maybe it's the blurring, but upon reanimation that cat looks at least moist 😆
@@Gowaduv can we meet in the middle and call it 'damp at best'?
@@zachmanning2609 I'll agree to damp. Maybe Mil-Dread will weigh in as the local expert on puppet humidity
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

Mil's genuine glee at describing this movie is such a joy to watch. One of my favorite channels on the YouToobs.
The "bonk" noise was genius.
Jeffery Combs also did an audio book (which is free on UA-cam) 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).
It really does. Like it was mostly fine and then it gets to that one story (you know the one) and then Lovecraft just made up for lost time. 🤦♀️
The nastiest passage of outright racism in the original stories is edited out of the Combs audiobook, thank goodness.
Does Lovecraft's cat make an appearance???
@@TheHopperUK I had to look that up and I don't know how I didn't register this shit when I read it obsessively as a teenager. Sheesh
@@Jakeshark It's an adventure! At least it's right there in the open though, you never have to worry if Lovecraft is trying to like, secretly imply something. It's just right there.
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
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
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 😅😂
Simply shocked at how the phrase "wet puppets" wasn't mentioned at all in this video. Otherwise perfect.

@@Colorcrayons there's so many things I lost to time I wish so badly I still had, action figures, posters, I feel your pain!
You can't just GET a job in a sideshow, Herbert. Those positions are extremely competitive.
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.
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 plays Ratchet in Transformers Prime and there's a recurring plot element around a glowing synthetic energon Ratchet concocts that can revive the dead
Thanks for Re-Animating another classic franchise 😮
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.
Jeffrey Combs as West is one of my favorite performances in anything ever.
Combs is absolutely ridiculously awesome in “Would You Rather”
I strongly recommend the audio book Reanimators by Pete Rawlik for an excellent retelling as West ventures around much of the Lovecraft mythos.
I've always enjoyed pairing Re-Animator with Evil Dead II for a gore-comedy double feature.
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
That music video got an honorable mention in the horror music videos video on this channel
@@davidtaylor142 TBF they did say if Reanimator was mentioned, one needs to bring up this song
Mildread your eyeliner is on point. Also, I love how much you love horror movies and wet puppets and your channel brings me joy.
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. ❤
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 think the FX for "Re-Animator" were a main article in one of the first issues of Fangoria I ever read.
"Yippe-Kay-Yay, Victor Falco!" really needs to be a t-shirt. I keep throwing money at my monitor to make it happen.
I heartily approve of this channel's new Jeffery Combs-centric direction
Well, you don't expect it to TANGO do you?" (West on Rufus's less than stellar postmortem dance moves)
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.

I was so hyped for this video and it did not disappoint, literally had a couple of out loud belly laughs, perfection.
"If you ask me to conceptualize it, I will tell you to leave," is going into my echolalia bank.
Summer time at Scaredy Cats is finally here
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
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
Still one of my favorite horror movies of all time tbh
"You're just a dead head! A No-... body!!" He's so gleeful when he's being mean 🤣🤣🤣
Mildred, you're killing it. Great job
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?!
The video on music video is where reanimator came up on the channel, I think.
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.
Re-Animator is one of the best! “Mr. West, I suggest you get a PEN!” And thank you for calling out Lovecraft as a racist. It's important that we keep that in mind👊🏼
I know Lovecraft was a full on racist but I still love that he married a Jewish woman!
Spooky Heather Sylvia makes me smile every time
Jeffrey Combs is either one of your favorite actors or you are not familiar with who Jeffrey Combs is. 😂😂😂
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.

And what would a note say, Dan? "Cat dead, details later?"
Saw this in NYC opening day. Class of '85!!!
Jeffrey Combs has my heart
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
As poorly aged as the assault is, i appreciate the implied pun that Dr Hill "gave her head"
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.
Lovecraft and Combs go together like peas and carrots
Reanimator is one of my comfort movies. Thanks for the video.
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.
OMG you are gonna LOVE bride of re-animator, especially because it confirms Herbert is in love with Dan bye
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.
The second one is pretty fantastic. I can't remember the others but if you're a fan, they're tolerable but no where as juicy or well made as the first two. I think the last one mixed Reanimator with From Beyond and it just didn't land...not enough budget.
I've been waiting so long for you to talk about Re-Animator
I heard Yipee Ki Yay "melon farmer" when I was a kid. That's hysterical.
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.
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.
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.
Jeffrey Combs was in a movie called Motivational Growth where he plays a mold growing in a guy's bathroom.

Jeffrey Combs voices The Question on Justice League Unlimited. He's the best part of the show.
Jeffrey Combs is perfect as Herbert West, I couldn't think of any other actor who could play that character so well.
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
This is literally one of my favorite Lovecraft stories I can’t believe there’s a movie
I was just re-(hehehe)watching DS9. Blew me away. Good to see more Re-animator content from you. Cheers
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've watched the MST3K version of Doctor Mordrid about fifty times now, and I can confirm that Jeffrey Combs is one of my favorite actors
Oh that movie is such wasted potential. A few more drafts and a better marketing campaign and it could have been the first successful superhero film that wasn't DC or Marvel.
Is it a Joel Hodgson episode?

Yes, very okay... I say okay.

I have to tell ya, your brand of candor and comedy tickles me EVERY time. Even if I watch the same video back to back. 😂
