Seeley & Yuzna Talk Hack/Re-Animator Crossover
When it was initially announced that Herbert West would be finding his way into the Hack/Slash come the series’ 15th issue, I thought it brilliant. Recently Newsarama sat down with Brian Yuzna, director of the last two films and the man who effectively owns the rights to the West character, and Hack/Slash creator Tim Seeley to discuss why this crossover just make so much sense.
“Re-Animator and Hack/Slash have similar aesthetics, the somewhat ‘transgressive’ ironic tone,” Yuzna explained. “It’s a type of hardcore horror that is fun—for some reason this type of stuff attracts real dedication in the fans. I am a fan myself and love the horror films that I grew up with—just like the younger fans today who grew up with Re-Animator—so it’s a feeling I certainly understand.”
Seeley drops some more details about the plot of the issue as well, promising we’ll finally meet Cassie Hack’s father, Jack, a character who’s beeen teased since the first issue. Jack’s work with the Revenants, who just so happen to reanimate from time to time, will have a lot to do with where Dr. West comes into play.
