After disturbing events occur in the town of Riverton, a small town in Vermont, a man, Herbert West, is called to the scene. Soon after he arrives, a local doctor comes across a dead body in a local church. The doctor checks the body, but a pair of eyes open up and a scream is heard. The doctor runs away in fear and calls the police, who arrive to investigate.
The police soon discover that the victim was a former school teacher, Mrs. Long. They then discover that Mrs. Long was a necrophiliac and that she had been killed by a pair of hands that had been cut off. Since Herbert West is a doctor, they call him to the scene.
After arriving at the scene, Herbert West examines Mrs. Long’s body and discovers that her heart is still beating. He then goes to the basement of a nearby building and discovers a supply of chemicals and a freezer containing a body. Once he gets access to the body, he begins to dissect it, finding several similarities between the victim and himself. After examining the body more closely, he discovers that it is in fact his own.
Herbert West is a fictional character created by H. P. Lovecraft for his short story "Herbert West—Reanimator", first published in 1922. He is depicted as the inventor of a solution that can re-animate deceased bodies. However, most subjects that have undergone the re-animation process turn violent and, after failed attempts to return to their own graves, wreak havoc. In Lovecraft's tale, Herbert West was ostracized by his fellow medical students because he believed he could overcome death and had only one friend: the unnamed narrator of the story. West was portrayed by actor Jeffrey Combs in the 1985 film adaptation of the story. Combs reprised the role in the film's two sequels, Bride of Re-Animator and Beyond Re-Animator. In 2013, West as portrayed by Combs was selected by Empire magazine as the 42nd greatest horror film character, describing him as "one of cinema's greatest mad scientists".
