Re-Animator (Movie Trailer of The Week, March 29th, 2010)

The 1985 started on a Tuesday, as The Cold Wars continued. The Discovery Channel debuts on cable television. Children and teens played with The Nintendo Entertainment System. On radio we had to hear again…and again…and yet again that annoying charity song “We Are The World.” This was followed by the Live Aid concerts which took place in Philadelphia and London. The proceeds from this event would raise over 50 million for famine relief in Ethiopia.

1985 saw the theatrical release of H.P. Lovecraft’s Re-Animator. This film was based on the H. P. Lovecraft story “Herbert West-Reanimator” and since has retained cult status.
