Like many of you out there, Stuart Gordon's classic RE-ANIMATOR is one of my favorite horror flicks of all time. Most definitely one of my top horror-comedies, behind, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.

I'm happy as hell to let you guys know that Arrow Video took to Facebook with new details on their upcoming 2-disc Collector's Edition of Stuart Gordon's splatter-comedy RE-ANIMATOR.

Coming at us this July!

Here is Arrow Videos rundown on the Collector's Edition:

HERBERT WEST HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS… AND ANOTHER ONE ON HIS DESK.

One of the most wildly popular horror movies of all-time, Stuart Gordon’s enduring splatter-comedy classic Re-Animator returns to Blu-ray in a stunning restoration packed with special features!

When medical student Dean Cain advertises for a roommate, he soon finds one in the form of Dr. Herbert West. Initially a little eccentric, it some becomes clear that West entertains some seriously outlandish theories – specifically, the possibility of re-animating the dead. It’s not long before Dean finds himself under West’s influence, and embroiled in a serious of ghoulish experiments which threaten to go wildly out of control…

Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s classic terror tale ‘Herbert West – Reanimator’ and featuring a standout performance from Jeffrey Combs as the deliciously deranged West, Re-Animator remains the ground-zero of ’80s splatter mayhem and one of the genre’s finest hours.
