Canon about Herbert West from the RA novelization (Before Miskatonic):

* Very likely killed his parents, even if it was accidental. (Chemical fire.) Likely not convicted, as he inherited and then sold his family estates.

* He was 13 when this happened, and spent the next 5 years in the foster system.

* As a child, he developed a stiff neck from hunching over a microscope for so long. He tried to amend this by balancing encyclopedias on his forehead.

* Has an aversion to sound. His parents watched a lot of TV, which held no interest for him. One of the reasons he liked Zurich was because of how quiet it was.

* Also has instances where he takes others’ statements literally. (Very autistic-coded.)

* Poisoned one of his foster siblings, resulting in him having green semen. (How Herbert even KNEW about this side effect is never explained. Yick!)

* From Ontario, Canada, originally.

* Attended New York University for undergraduate. They gave him a full scholarship.

* Studied with Gruber for approximately 3 years before his untimely death. (West was 24 at the time.)

* Wrote a complaint letter about the medical community in a science journal that attracted Hans Gruber’s attention.

* Herbert got everything in Gruber’s will. (How this wasn’t grounds for a murder trial is beyond me.)

* Spent his childhood talking to himself while watching the grass grow through the sidewalks. His parents (unsurprisingly) sent him to a psychiatrist.

* Had an unspoken father/son relationship with Dr. Gruber. (BTW, Hill’s mentioning of Gruber is the reason he’s crying in that deleted scene, not Dan.)

Things in the Re-Animator Novelisation that I like and/or found funny or interesting

Herbert is Canadian

Herbert's parents died in a fire and he grew up primarily in Foster care

Dr. Gruber and Herbert had father son relationship

Dr. Gruber killed himself via cocaine overdose for the sake of their experiments

Dr. Hill's middle name is Josiah

Dan's first impression of Herbert was that he looked like an undertaker

Herbert steals the brain from Hills class

Dan's middle name is Jonathan

Megs mother left

Herbert is 24

Med has a horse called Al

She also plays the piano and wrote a song for Al

Mace (the morgue guard) has been arrested twice

Herbert is called a cocky little shit

There's a detective called Vinnie Papa who accuses Dan and Herbert of dating

Meg describes Herbert as "wormy"

Herbert "likes Dan and enjoys being with him"

The corpses in the climax are referred to by their nicknames from earlier

Meatball, Burn Victim, Cracked Rib, Shotgun Wound to the Head, Rotten and Malpractice

It's also worth mentioning that this part is in Herbert's pov, so that's what he's referring to them as in his head

Herbert also dies in it (like frfr)

Herbert’s extremely touchy nature with Dan feels like compensation for literally ignoring Dans handshake when they first meet. Like “oh that was rude of me let me make sure he knows I’m ok with physical contact by touching him at every opportunity I get”

Okay I don't think I'm going to have the words to express it exactly but. Here goes.

There's something so heartbreaking(?) About Bride of Reanimator. Herbert West (re)creating Meg, the woman that Dan loved, and instead of it being a genuinely happy reuniting of the two, West creates an amalgamation of what he logistically assumes to be a desirable woman much to the horror of all involved parties.

Like idk, maybe it's being ace and autistic but there's something relatable about West there. Only having a semblance of understanding for attraction by normative standards. And trying to understand and it coming out Wrong to those it's more intrinsic to. And the alienation of that realization that no matter how hard you try, your outsider attempt at something "normal" will almost always just be an offensive imitation, maybe even to those you're close to, those you're trying to show love to.

Idk I just know that feeling of realizing you fucked up a Social Norm, and it was all the more relatable bc it was about attraction which is also just... so confusing and alien to me.

The one time Herbert remembered Valentine’s Day, this is the card Dan received:

(It was probably stapled to a real human heart. And on the inside it’s just Herbert’s signature. West doesn’t understand holidays. Dan still loved it. Not the heart, though.)
