Weird thought but has anyone ever thought that Herbert West might relate a lot to Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd?

I mean I'm just re-listening to the musical soundtrack and specifically the 'Final Scene' song and just the whole beginning of her part of the song is her trying to gaslight Sweeney and manipulate him like Herbert does to Dan and then it just devolves into jealousy over the dead wife/girlfriend when Sweeney continues morning over the woman he first loved (Basically exactly what happened with Dan) And I mean Mrs Lovett's lines are literally:

Yes, I lied 'cos I loved you!

I'd be twice the wife she was!

I love you!

Could that thing have cared for you like me?

and if that's not Herbert's energy by Bride of Re-animator then idk what is.

Forever feeling insane at the fact that in the Re-animator comic Dan helps heal Herbert's wounds while he's shirtless and with Herbert lying down on the slab after fighting with rufus all the while they have silly little banter.

Dan is just overall more shirtless in the entire story; what I wouldn't give for this scene to be real, the movie deprived us and Herbert of seeing Dan's tits more often
