hey robert! i hope you are well.

i was just wondering if there are any fun facts/insights you could give on the development of weyoun? i've he wasn't originally supposed to come back after dying the first time, but people liked him so much they invented the vorta cloning backstory just for more weyoun - were there other ideas thrown around as to how he could make a comeback that weren't ever used?

Avatar

The way I remember it, I proposed the clone thing as my very first stab at how to bring Weyoun back. At the time, I joked that the next Weyoun would be Weydos, the Weytres, etc. Ira went for it right away, so there wasn't a lot of throwing ideas around.

Every once in a while, you hit the first pitch out of the park.

they should make a show like Hannibal but for re-animator, and they should let me direct and write and also let me play Herbert West

Thinking about this and if I where to write a re-animator show I would let Meg slap herbert at least once.

Another random thought.

If I where to make a reanimator show I would cast actors who are shorter for herbert, dan, and meg like a lot shorter I'm talking like 5"4" and 5 "10" or smth and then cast actors who are 6ft + to play Dr. Hill and the reanimated corpses to make em even more like scary and looming.

bringing this up again cause I've been thinking a lot lately. but I was looking at bride of reanimator for a painting I'm working on right now and I was just thinking about how, when the bride awoke. Dan took her around the house, and started showing her things, like we see that in the basement, and then her in like the upper part of the house in front of those stained glass windows.

And like if I made a show, I would extend the scene of Dan showing the bride stuff around the house, and add a point in where he shows the bride something that was Megs, and he's all like " look here, this was yours " and hands her like a trinket or something, and obviously the bride doesn't know what the hell it is, so she drops it and it shatters or something. The brides saying " no..no ". He keeps trying to remind her going " this was yours.. " and for a moment this breaks Dan out of his delusion that this is Meg. But then he you know, refocuses himself and keeps on going showing her things around the house. And then of course the big thing that breaks him out of his delusion is Francesca going " Megs dead " .

Okay idk if you guys care about my ideas at all but I do. \

Basically at this point I think these foos are just turning into my own version of reanimator ( not everything I draw of them is supposed to be taken seriously I just want yall to know that, like there is work I think of as true to my own story and the ones that are just for fun! )

Some other changes or things I think about for if i made a reanimator uhh show or interpretation whatever its called.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First I would make Francesca Peruvian I just would don't ask me why.

Dan and Herbert of course have some homoerotic stuff going on and things that defiantly question their relationship with each other but the ONLY time that they ever had some sort of sexual relationship is when they where in Peru. Its just very common in war for men to engage in homosexual relationships and this is the only time i think it would make sense ( this of course tho would be brough up in later times during what would be in the bride timeline )

Dan would of have been with Francesca long before even the idea of making the bride, and when the bride is in the process of being created he would start to pull away from Francesca leading her to going into their home and finding their lab and experiments ect:

I know some of you hate this idea but I would have Dan betray Herbert and turn him into the police, He would then later regret his choice because Francesca wont stay with him (obviously), meg is dead, the bride didn't work, because of the case he's lost his job and medical license he's lost everything. So he would try to get Herbert back or forgive him in some way ( like those prison pages I made except it wouldn't be until very late into the trails when dan regrets his choice, and the one that's kinda jokey but kinda not where dan tries multiple times to set up a visitation ) I can elaborate on this part further if you guys are interested in what I have to say.

There would be a lot more time of Herbert in prison and how that's effected him, like his eating pattern changing, he's a lot more clean and organized, he's more struck with pattern and time ect: AND would make it more clear that Herbert DID get physically stronger in prison, most prison systems have some sort of mandatory labor, and also as much as folks don't like to think about the violence that happens in prisons Herbert would be a big time criminals and some people are going to want to test that Herbert would have to find a way to protect himself. ( he's also just annoying people are going to want to beat him up )

Oh and also I feel like ( at least I haven't seen any ) folk don't speak about how being attacked by reanimated corpses, the experiments, war, and being in prison would have given Dan AND Herbert serious PTSD, and I would personally love to explore that idea. One of the things i loved in the original reanimator is that Herbert was constantly paranoid about his first reanimated corpse coming back to kill him.

ANYWAYS that's all my though for now, I have a lot more but everything's mixed up, I need to make a timeline and write down my ideas in a more organized way.

Some random traits i want to give my Herbert ( also guys some of these things are also just my hcs that just started to become my own ideas lol ) 1- Herbert has blood sugar issues, i just think it makes sense that you know he doesn't eat well, he's autistic so he also doesn't register when he is hungry, and when he does eat he tends to eat the quickest most efficient meals. this leads him to developing blood sugar issues and has to often deal with migraines, Shakey hands, and nose bleeds. He keeps pieces of hard candy ( like little caramel candies ) on him because its the quickest, easiest, and effect way to spike up his sugar when its low. Instead of stopping his work to go get some juice or something he just reaches into his pocket or his bag and eats a few candies quickly without disrupting his work.

2- He keeps one of those glasses clothes on him all the time in his little shirt pocket, where he keeps his pens and stuff he got one of em lil square fabrics in there. I have a specific shot in my head where he's like all bloodied and he goes to get the glasses cleaner from his pocket and its all just soaked with blood and he just defeatedly throws it to the ground lol.

3- the reason why Herbert wears suits all the time because he came from a rich family, so growing up he always had to look proper which was wearing fitted, dress close, dress shoes, button ups, ties, coats ect: So its become routine for him to always dress in that type of clothing, its a comfort, sensory, and consistent pattern thing. ( he also wears brand clothing because that's just what he's used too, but he also does NOT give a shit about it, he doesn't buy brand names cause they are expensive he buys them cause that's just what he's used too )

4- post beyond timeline, some of Herbert's traits change, he acts differently, his schedules are different, some things he used to be picky about ( clothing, food, ect:) he isn't as picky with, he's also a lot cleaner after getting out of prison, his work flow and space will be drastically different. ( I have some comic ideas for future danbert projects with this )

Also just so you guys know, while this stuff is for my own version of reanimator it also applies to Stuart Gordon's reanimator cause all of this started as simple hcs for danbert that just got out of hand and i HAD to make my own lol.

@darkostea asked for some of my Dan characteristics so here we go :)

Dan Traits for my Re-Animator adaption

-1 Dan is near sited and only needs his glasses to read, as opposed to Herbert who is far sighted and needs his glasses at all times. But for the most part Dan doesn't wear his glasses often and ops to wear contacts while hes out, but at home wears glasses to study.

-2 Dan does speak spanish fluently, it was his first language and he started to learn english at a young age, so he has a very small accent in both languages. Since its the 80s he also deliberately speaks carefully to hid the accent more when speaking to colleagues and patients.

-3 Dan cuts his own hair, after moving out of his family's home, Dan was also a poor student and to save some money he just started to cut his own hair, he also on occasion would offer up " cheap " hair cuts to other students to earn a bit of money on the side. During his time with Meg and Herbert hes also given them hair cuts.

-4 Dan is a little superstitious because of his Mexican upbringing. He doesn't outwardly express his superstitions but he will still go out of his way to keep Herbert from doing anything that may cause " bad luck " Herbert constantly will make fun of him for this.

-5 During the war in Peru, Dan would also work as a translator helping Herbert and other volunteer aid talk to the patients and other people coming in and out. This was one of the things that got Dan and Francesca to bond over.

Also a little side note :

I do want to try and make my own adaption/ or a long standing fan comic im not sure what this would count as. I've thought it over and this is a project I want to peruse. I obviously cant make a show, but I thought a long comic would be the best way to go about it. I am not a fic writer but I am an artists so perhaps this is something I can do.

This week I'm going to try and rewatch reanimator, bride, and beyond, as well as re-read to original 1922 story and take down notes for what I want to keep and what I want to change for each story.

I also want to look into the novelization and see what's in there. I know there's some good things in there I want to look at as well.

After I get that done, I'll come back and share my findings with you all!

AlSO I want to re-read the Bible and take down notes and annotate it so I can make my adaption more heavy in the biblical references, but I don't currently have a Bible and I don't want to buy a new one. So if anyone has an old Bible they would be willing to give me or trade for, let me know! I'm going to try and look for one at antique malls or thrift stores, too, but I'm not sure when I'll have money or when I'll be able to go.

My week was weird so I was only able to watch Reanimator but ima try to get to bride and the rest at some point.

Here are my notes I took while re-watching re-animator these are not in depth at all, they are just whatever came into my head at the moment that's all I'm writing down for now. They are mostly random notes and not really in order at all.

Re-Animator Extra notes 

  • Dr.Gruber is a parental figure to Herbert 
  • He dies to something outside of the experiments while with Herbert, and in a panic herb reanimates him 
  • Hill and Herbert immediate beef 
  • Megan does not like Hill at all, ima have her have more beef with him 
  • Is Rufus megs or Dan's cat? Dan seems a bit indifferent to him, but Meg is very attentive to him. Dan does seem to pay attention to Rufus when Meg is there but Meg is very attached to him. 
  • Meg automatically recognizes Rufus but when Dan's talking to the dean he doesn't say it was his cat 
  • A part of me feels like this is the dean's fault, he heard Dan's out, and what happened and despite it all he didn't do as much to stop it all, he could have easily stopped Herbert. 
  • The only people the reanimated corpses pay attention to is Megan and Herbert which is why I feel they are the 2 dominant personalities. Dr.Hill has to lobotomize them for them to listen to him. 
  • There is so reason for Gruber to be back in the second movie when his head was literally crushed 
  • Dan and Meg are very sweet, very like a cheesy couple.
  • MEG SLAPPING DAN SHE ALSO NEEDS TO SLAP HERBERT 
  • Hill stealing Herbert's notes ( why was Herbert so easily subdued in this scene? I think he already made up his mind about killing Hill when he was first threatened, the mentioning of taking away Dan also probably got to him) ( okay I forgot that in the deleted scenes it kinda insinuates that hill is like hypnotizing / mind controlling Herbert into giving up his notes??? Also he cried at the mention of Gruber also one of the reasons why I think this whole obsession with the work, a part of it comes from unprocessed grief )

Notes on Meg

Meg does NOT like Herbert from the minute they meet 

She is immediately fighting with herbert ( they are like 2 dominate animals to me fighting over territory ) 

Megan has to be a student in the medical school right? Like there is no way she's just walking around the hospital just cause she's the dean's daughter, she has to be studying something.. 

Megan is very clearly a very smart character, emotionally and academically. She locked in so fast on who Herbert was as a person. 

  • She takes over the head of the household after her mother died. When did she die? I'm assuming either when she was in school or early in her medical studies 
  • Megan was the one who said they needed to keep Herbert there to get more evidence on him. 
  • Meg doing her own research on herbert 

They give meg so much more character and context in the deleted scenes, she's so smart, and aggressive, and way kinder and forgiving then she needs to be. 

Notes on Dan

Dan is so submissive he is so easily put into situations by those who are more dominant in personality ( Meg and Herbert ) 

He listened to them so easily, his convictions are so small, he clearly has a distaste for what Herbert is doing, he has a better standing in the hospital and is physically stronger than Herbert, if he didn't want to do any of this he could have easily stopped it all. 

Bro literally did nothing to stop herb from re-animating rufus, bro was like “ no…stop “ in such a soft way, and he did absolutely NOTHING to try and physically stop herbert, in fact his fucking eyes where following herberts hand with the syring the whole time bro is so intrigued. 

Herb however has a dominant personality, and Dan seems to need someone like that to sort of give him some stability. Meg has the same effect on him, I think it's just Dan's own curiosity that makes him lean into herbert. 

Even during the attack of that first reanimated corpse Dan wasn't the one to kill him, it was herbert. 

Dan was the one who first said he wanted to kick herbert out 

Dan had no issue with Herb until Herbert did something bad 

Notes on Herbert

Worked with Dr.Gruber, Parental figure 

First Corpse he Reanimated on his own without Gruber 

Gruber died due to something outside of the experiments Herbers panic led him to Reanimation 

Hebert being very dismissive of Dan and anyone else at first 

Very small expression for the most part a deadpan face, easily and quickly switches from each expression 

The first major expression he makes is when he sees the basement in the house 

  • Should of put that money in dans pocket 

He also has beef with megan

  • He doesn't like megan cause she's getting in the way of his experiments ( telling dan not to let him rent a room ) 
  • But he's indifferent to dan in this moment
  • Medical posters and books all around herberts room, he's a bit messy ( i would think is this from being indifferent to his space, not necessarily from him being a messy person ) 
  • I don't think Herbert killed Rufus, I do think he took that opportunity of having a dead cat to experiment. 
  • Herberts humor is very corny, small pranks ( scaring dan ) and stupid puns 

“ you haven't done this to people?” Personally the reason I think Herbert reacted the way he did was because the only person he DID reanimate was Gruber and that wasn't necessarily a good moment for him. 

  • He ties his shoes with the rabbit ears method lol 
  • Doesn't even wait for the doors to close to start working bro is just so excited 
  • I think he was so desperate to reanimate another corpse because he was trying to recreate the situation with Gruber, and understand what happened and what went wrong ( his version of processing new emotions ) 
  • There is such desperation in Herbert to keep using the reagent to keep getting more information to process. I do truly believe this is an autistic thing, he got new information that he doesn't know how to process or understand so he's continuously trying to recreate that scenario to learn about it more. 

I don't think Herbert is misogynistic, I just think he doesn't like Meg. He doesn't treat any other woman the way he does meg ( in the first movie, but then it's just francesca too also just 80s writing  ) 

  • He knows he can convince dan to do his bidding but he also knows megan can easily do the same 
  • Herbert is such a bad liar but he gets away with shit because he's rich and white. 

He does this thing when he's concentrating where he will either stick out his tongue, or pout. 

Even when saving Meg he insults her. 

I always forgot the lobotomy scar on his head, ill have to give myself a mental note to draw that in from now on.. 

Herbert was so ready to die here, what's important is his work, his notes, as long as that lives on He isn't important.

End of notes

I obviously need to work on my Meg and Dan, I've been putting so much of my energy into Herbert lol.

I hope you guys like my notes, when I get through all the re-watches and these basic set of notes, ill come back with more in depth notes and thoughts of things, theories and ( super ) rough concepts.

this is all very basic, and very small, I am not a writer, nor do I think I have the most interesting or best takes on things, but I'm hoping with time and effort something good can pop out.
