reanimations
Bringing back life
Reanimations are instances of bringing something back to life or restoring it to an active state.
The word appears most often in fiction involving zombies, vampires, or other undead creatures who have been revived from death.
In more practical contexts, reanimation can refer to resuscitation efforts or to reviving something dormant, like a stalled project or discontinued product line.
The film featured gruesome reanimations of corpses in a mad scientist's laboratory.
