Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things

If this isn’t the best title for a horror movie you better show me the winner.

It concerns a troupe of actors going to an island graveyard led by their sadistic director.Not only are his 1972 clothes an eyesore you want him to meet a violent death because he is an anal cavity.He browbeats all of his actors before he pulls a vicious prank on them.This causes one of the characters to babble incessantly about wetting his pants. The director uses a book of spells in an attempt to raise the dead as his slaves. We’re not really sure if it is a put on or he really means to do so.Well it doesn’t work. So to satisfy his sick whims they dig up a corpse that he names “Orvy”.

The troupe takes the corpse back to a ramshackle house for fun and games.Orvy is the center of attention.They have a mock wedding ceremony uniting the director and the rotting corpse.Then the director takes Orvy up into the bedroom and lies on the bed with him. Just talking of course but you get the feeling that the man is really twisted. The actors aren’t aware that the spell did actually work. It just took a while. There are some pretty chilling moments as you watch the zombies burst out of their graves. And yes they’re very hungry. The zombies surround the house a la Night Of The Living Dead. So who will survive and who won’t?

In the early 70’s it was double billed at the drive-in circuit with Night Of The Living Dead. The movie is a lot of fun.The actors do very well in their roles. The comedy for the first half of the movie wears a little thin. But the movie picks up when the dead arise.

  1. I really enjoyed this movie also. It has a really creepy feel to it. It's also directed by Benjamin Clark who directed Black Christmas.
