We learned exclusively that Transition Entertainment is shooting a pilot presentation next April that will bring RE-ANIMATOR’s Herbert West back as “a teenage Dr. Frankenstein for the new millennium”.

[HERBERT WEST] (18) – is a teenage Dr. Frankenstein for the new millennium. He’s a dark, shy, somewhat sexy and narcissistic young man obsessed with finding the secret to life and learning the formula that will reanimate the dead.
