Re-Animator is an American film series consisting of three horror films directed by Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna. Loosely based on the 1922 serialized short story "Herbert West–Reanimator" by H. P. Lovecraft, the films follow the exploits of Herbert West, the inventor of a serum that can re-animate deceased bodies. West is portrayed by Jeffrey Combs in all three films.

The first film in the series, Re-Animator, was released in 1985. Directed by Gordon and produced by Yuzna, it stars Combs alongside Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, and David Gale. It was followed by a sequel, Bride of Re-Animator, in 1990, directed by Yuzna and again starring Combs and Abbott. The third film, Beyond Re-Animator, was released in 2003.
