Later he came back on this decision and decided to, along with writers Dennis Paoli and William Norris, there a half-hour pilot for a potential TV series out of it.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Brody_1-1" len="169" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [1] it soon became apparent that this pilot would be too expensive if the story of the pilot around the same time would let you play as Lovecraft's original story; the early 20th century. That is why the story was updated to the 80 's. In addition, a series of episodes for half an hour not sellable to television stations, so the length was stretched to an hour. A total of 13 episodes the series would start to count.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Brody_1-2" len="169" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [1]  – Special effects technician Bob Greenberg, who already had worked on John Carpenter's Dark Star, urged Gordon to a horror movie would have more success than a possible television series. He suggested Gordon to producerBrian Yuzna. Gordon showed Yuzna the script for the pilot and the 12 other episodes. Yuzna was impressed and convinced Gordon to his television script to convert to a movie script. In addition, Yuzna made a distribution deal with Gordon for Charles Band's Empire Pictures.

According to Naulin was Re-Animator the bloodiest movie where he had ever worked on. The biggest challenge in the field of special effects, was the headless Dr. Hill zombie. For every scene in which they had to use a different technique for came Tony Doublin. ===Reception<span class="mw-editsection" len="338" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Re-Animator was released on October 18, 1985 in 129 cinemas.
