This week we're resurrecting the horror-comedy cult classic Re-Animator (1985). We dive into its campy take on the Frankenstein trope, analyze the film's gruesome practical effects, and reflect on its legacy in 80s horror cinema. In this episode's b-side, we consider which college courses iconic horror characters would teach, and consider the practicality of Horror University. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 19:49.
