* ContractualImmortality: Being played by Creator/JeffreyCombs ensures that West survives the gory finale of each film against all odds-- a sharp 180 degree inversion from the original novella, in which West ends up a victim of his reanimation subjects, torn to pieces by an undead mob.

* HappyEnding: A RealLife example. David Gale had grown tired of acting and had been [[MoneyDearBoy doing it for the paycheck]] for years when he was cast. Much to his surprise, he realized that he ''loved'' hamming it up and actually wrote director Stuart Gordon a note thanking him for "''re-animating [his] love of acting.''" Gale's agent put the word out that he would be interested in more sci-fi and horror films. Because of Gale's awesome work as the loathsome Dr. Hill, he had his pick of roles until his death years later.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There have been rumors of a fourth movie entitled ''House of Re-Animator'' which has been denied by Jeffrey Combs on numerous occasions. The movie would involve Herbert West moving into the White House and reanimating the deceased vice president. Stuart Gordon has stated that while he did originally intend to create this film, he saw no need for a political satire after the end of the [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush Bush administration]]. The planned film gets referenced at the end of the crossover with ''ComicBook/HackSlash'', where West takes an emergency call from the White House.

** Brian Yuzna has also planned two other [[http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/7883/all-three-new-re-animator-sequel-titles-plots-revealed/ sequels]]: ''Re-Animator Unbound!'' and ''Re-Animator Begins''. The former involves West working in a war zone and coming across the [[EldritchAbomination Old Ones]]. The latter involves West losing his memory after his encounter with the Old Ones, reproducing his earliest experiments, and falling in love with a woman. We also see a flashback to West's childhood. But like ''House'', these seem to be on the back-burner.
