Frankenstein is more horrific, while Herbert West's is more spontaneous. It doesn't follow quite as much logic, I guess? Re-animated folk can be killed, but severed heads can stay alive without a body? It seems a little more for laughs, and it's usually nothing internal. Dr. Frank, however, has to cut up cadavers and deal with their guts and inner workings. Herbert West is just inconvenienced by re-animated guts and zombies.

Don't get me wrong here. I think Re-Animator is great. I've got Jeffrey Combs' autograph, signed "Overdose!". But Frankenstein is more mad, I think.

For sure. My autograph collection is my most prized possession.
