15 Doctors Crazier Than Hannibal Lecter

2. Dr Carl Hill - Re-Animator

Death is, as they say, just the beginning for Dr Hill. After discovering that Herbert West, one of his students, has perfected a serum capable of regenerating dead tissue, the doc attempts to steal West’s work and instead becomes an unwitting test subject in his student’s trials.

Reanimated as a shuffling corpse that carries its disembodied head around in a medical bag, Hill creates his own zombie army to take revenge on West, though he saves the most humiliating punishment for his housemate’s girlfriend.

Naked and held down on a hospital gurney, the poor girl learns the hard way why you should never date a talking head.
