Top of PageRe-Animators, The "A Gothic Tale"
Synopsis:
at the twelfth chime of midnight, under a moonless sky of the endalaus Nott, a human-like howl echoes through the decaying halls of the Ingolstadt School and a weary wanderer on the ice sheets of northern Greenland races toward safety. Thus the Gothic tale of the Re-animators begins; a contemporary re-imagining of the Frankenstein myth. Set at the Ingolstadt School in Northern Greenland: a special international school for students who have exceptionally high aptitude in science and mathematics, during the six months of darkness called the endalaus Nott. an old eccentric professor teaches a course on how to reanimate the dead flesh of an anellus, a gifted student dies out on the midnight ice attempting to find an age old secret and a group of students embark on a quest to reanimate their lost friend instead unleashing a creature neither living nor dead. a creature whom none are equipped to care for. a creature bent on revenge for its own inhuman birth.
