Six crazy friends decide to go grave digging, and find a new friend named Orville. Orville is a corpse used to help act out a satanic ritual to raise the dead! After a lot of wasted time and bad acting the ritual works. Slowly the zombies are back from the grave.

Even though there are a lot of horrible actors in the movie it isn't as bad what i usually enjoy. It has a good plot, but has a real slow start. I even think the main character has some sort of necromantic thoughts towards Orville...who knows it might be true!

The movie is dripping with gay references and awesome 70's style! Plaid shirts and striped pants never looked so cool! It took a while till the action picked up, then it was full throttle till the end. Everyone died....that's how a good horror movie ends. The zombies then decide to take a little trip and board the boat that the ritualists arrived on. CLEVER!!!!



Got some new records too!

Luis and the Wildfires.....this is one of the best rockabilly records Ive heard in a while. Its solid all the way through.... a real party stomper!

Los Explosivos.....awesome Mexican garage. Again, all the songs are real stompers. It has a cover of Louie, Louie. Other than that i don't know what any of the songs are called since they're all in Spanish!

  1. I love 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things'. Director Bob Clark had a string of awesome movies in the seventies. After this he made 'Deathdream' and 'Black Christmas'. Later he did 'Porkys' and 'A Christmas Story'.
