Line 38:
* [[Arch Enemy]] - Dr. Hill to West.
* [[Bat Out of Hell]]
* [[Big No]]: Used once per movie. In the first movie when Herbert watches his mentor die from an overdose of Re-Agent he shouts it. In Bride, Dan yells it when he loses Gloria. In Beyond when Howard reacts to seeing Laura's corpse after the Warden killed her.
* [[Beat Still My Heart]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Dr. Hill tries to hypnotize West into giving him his notes, so that he may steal his idea for the Re-Agent. Herbert complies. However when Hill refers to Dr. Gruber as a fool and opts to take Herbert on as his assistant, he unknowingly enrages Herbert breaking him out of the hypnosis. {{spoiler| Needless to say there's a reason why Dr. Hill is the only kill we see Herbert perform onscreen with no debate whatsoever. And it's quite the brutal one.}}
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
* [[Insufferable Genius]] - West's brash personality leads to a rocky relationship with a certain faculty member.
* [[Just Think of the Potential]]: West enforces this trope in order to persuade people to help him with the experiments. He sways Dan and Howard, by talking about potentially conquering death.
{{Quote|'''Herbert West:''' We can defeat Death!! We can achieve every Doctor's dream. [[Cut Lex Luthor
* [[Karma Houdini]] - Even with all the nightmarish stuff he causes and the many, MANY times someone or some''thing'' tries to kill him. West always survives. Granted, there wouldn't ''[[Joker Immunity|be]]'' a franchise if he died, but...
** Through he does go to jail in Beyond... {{spoiler|only to break out by the end of things}}.
Line 117 ⟶ 118:
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]] - Dr. Hill, and possibly West in the sequels.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]] - Meg, Francesca, Laura, Nurse Vanessa.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: For Herbert, failing to save Dr. Gruber. For Dan, losing {{Spoiler|Meg}} and losing Gloria. For Howard, losing Emily then losing {{Spoiler|Laura.}}
* [[Not Quite Dead]] - ''Everyone''.
* [[Open Secret]] - Reanimation in the third film. According to Howard, the government tried to cover up West's experiments. However, Laura has several newspaper clippings which show that at least some aspects of West's research are common knowledge.
Line 143 ⟶ 145:
* [[Stalker with a Crush]] - Dr. Hill for Meg. It's implied that he's been obsessed with her ever since she was [[Lolicon|a child]].
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]] - Howard Phillips
*[[Take Up My Sword]] - {{Spoiler|When Hill's intestine's ensnare West and the morgue goes into chaos from the Re-Animates spilling chemicals, West uses the last of his strength to toss Dan his bag full of notes and Re-Agent. When Meg dies, the first thing Dan does is try to revive her with the latter. Had it not been for the sequels making Herbert able to cheat death, Dan would have been the next Re-Animator.}}
* [[Technicolor Science]] - Re-Agent is actually the stuff inside your average glowstick.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich]]: In the deleted scene after they Re-Animate {{Spoiler|Halsey}}, Herbert West makes Dan a sandwich to help him get over his shock. However Dan doesn't even get a chance to eat it when he catches West trying to inject himself with Re-Agent.
