Intrepid future archeologists finding the chamber where Dr. Herbert West’s creations took his head and entombed it in a vat of reanimating fluid. I guess there would have to be some kissy stuff because the hero will need to try anything to save the fair maiden. It would work with the heroine saving her handsome beau as well. I’m not so good with the kissy stuff, but there would be lots of gruesome experiments while learning how the reanimation fluid works, perhaps a nuclear disaster due to the power draw and violence. Lots and LOTS of violence. In order to be truly Lovecraftian, the characters must be mid-twenties (the older and not-so-wiser head of the expedition may be as ancient as thirty), hold multiple PhDs, be able to build a distillery which can be switched from moonshine to desalting water with no more work than changing what you place in the pot from nothing but an arm’s-length of garden hose and two empty decanters, shoot anything from derringers to Big Bertha and speak more languages than God. And since the women must always be nurses or librarians, we can have one who’s a librarian, has a lot of rescue animals including a cat named Lucky, and whose buggy sports an embroidered fish-with-feet (we’re following the “rule of cool”: it doesn’t matter if it’s not logical so long as it’s cool). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/february-makes-us-shiver-with-each-new-rant-it-delivers/711492)._
