Terror in the Laboratory (Laboratory horror movies)
Dr. Paul Moreau:
If one is to study nature, one must become as remorseless as nature. You should know that!
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977)
Gradually I came to find Herbert West himself more horrible than anything he did—that was when it dawned on me that his once normal scientific zeal for prolonging life had subtly degenerated into a mere morbid and ghoulish curiosity and secret sense of charnel picturesqueness. His interest became a hellish and perverse addiction to the repellently and fiendishly abnormal; he gloated calmly over artificial monstrosities which would make most healthy men drop dead from fright and disgust.
H.P. Lovecraft
Herbert West Reanimater
+ Also includes Morgue horror movies.
I created this list because I could not find any suggestions on “laboratory horror” movies. It is a very interesting type of movie and deserves more attention.
Enjoy.
