Bride of Re-Animator (1990)

Herbert West is back for more re-animated antics. It’s overly-long and has too much filler in the first half, but the ending more than makes up for the initial lack of wow factor.
The finale is a real comedy-scare nightmare-clusterfuck scenario that'll have you itching to tell your friends, and maybe your psychiatrist. Not a date movie, unless your date is Elvira.

Re-Animator (1985)

The film that made Jeffrey Combs a household name amongst the weird kids you knew back in high school.
A vial of green glowing stuff brings back the dead, but they don’t say thanks with flowers.
With a similar black comedy-shock styling as Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead (1981), it's extra-crispy, deep-fried fun. A horror film from the decade when horror films were good.
