Re-Animator vs the Wolfman

Werewolf Wednesday, a day late as usual! I was out all day getting the cats microchipped, so I have an excuse this time.

Actually started this for a themed WWW a while back, but wasn’t able to finish it. I don’t know what the problem was, it’s just a simple painting with two figures and little detail, but it was just incredibly frustrating … I couldn’t get the composition to where I liked it, I cut off the wolf’s hand and entirely redid it, etc., etc. It was a slog. It didn’t start looking decent until I hit on the idea of making it a fake VHS box. Now I'm happier with it.

The sequel to Re-Animator was Bride of Re-Animator as an homage to the Frankenstein movies, and originally the threequel was going to be House of Re-Animator (with the house in question being the White House), but that never got made and the third one ended up being Beyond Re-Animator, breaking the theme*.

If the series had gone on in a more timely manner and followed the theme, we might have gotten Son of Re-Animator, I Was a Teenage Re-Animator, Re-Animator Conquers the World, The Curse of Re-Animator, Lady Re-Animator, Andy Warhol’s Re-Animator, Jesse James Meets the Re-Animator’s Daughter and of course Re-Animator vs the Wolfman.

Who knows?

EDIT: I was very amused to find this floating around on tumblr, where some people were seriously confused as to whether or not it was a real movie. I WISH! But yeah, I'm glad all the work I put into matching fonts and aging stuff paid off.

* it was also a steaming pile, but that’s another rant
