    Before this movie came out, I read an article about it in Fangoria that described the film having a fairly explicit S&M scene right at the start, which is interrupted by Crawford. Of course after the film came out, I read that the scene had to be cut. Many years later, the unrated director's cut came out and they claimed that all the censored footage had been restored. Strangely the S&M scene was nowhere to be seen.
    And Re-Animator did not have a scene of a severed head eating pussy. It only TRIED to eat pussy, but its body was too incompetent to properly strap Crampton down and she had one hand free to hold him at bay until the heroes (more or less) arrived.

    "It bit off his head, like a ginger bread Man" was delivered beautifully, I used to ape that one a lot. The scene where he realizes he is eating a brain was a great reaction. And in all Honesty, I hold Dr. Edward Pretorius in high regard, and had I been Dr. Tillinghast, I would have joined him. To this day, I still wonder if I can force my body to regress to a super badass Man Ape thing, like in 'Altered States' One can dream.

It also features amazing practical effects by Tom Savini. It genuinely is one of the greatest cult horror films from the 80's so it should be fitting for the theme of this month. Cheers.

    I wonder if Doctor Pratorius was Eddie Nash in a past life. And Jeffrey Combs looks like you could have played Steve Jobs, back in the 80s the movie about Apple they didn't have either Ashton Kutcher, Michael Fassbender, or Seth Rogen in it. Jeffrey Combs looks more like a computer salesperson then a mad scientist in this one. Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna were typecasting Jeffrey Combs.

    In certain sense, is curious and contradictory that TH-cam channels, as for example the guys of Bloodbath and Beyond (I love them too) with almost 50K subscribers can´t reach the amount of viewings per video that you have in each of yours, despite to the fact you have less subscribers. It´s a prove of your awesome work. Great job Brandon, continue so.

    It seems like Jeffery Combs is mostly type-cast as a mad scientist or doctor. He was Dr. West in Reanimator, Dr. Falco AKA the Rat King in TMNT 2012, Braniac in Injustice 2 (it’s a game, but it counts), Ratchet in Transformers Prime (great show btw), that guy from Would You Rather? (forgot his name) and of course, this.

    So... Shapeshifting demons from another dimension, horrid mutations, sexual deviancy (which appears to be corruptive at that), a strong magenta / pink vibe whenever the device that breaks down the border between realities is turned on... Having read the original story, I can't really think of it as that, but like Event Horizon, you could fool me into thinking it's a 40K one.
    And those creature effects *are* amazing.

    ... I mean, it's not actually important, I just thought I'd mention it. Herbert West: Reanimator is one of my favourite Lovecraft stories.
