The Dead Come Home

Like one of the others who commented, I saw this movie years ago on Cinemax (I believe it played back to back with Meet the Applegates)... For the longest time, I have been trying to figure out what it was, because I could not remember the name, only pieces of the plot. Strangely enough, I am not a horror fan, but I just *had* to know what movie this was. And through searching here, I finally found it. Also being titled "The House on Tombstone Hill" really threw me... I could have found it years ago if I knew they were one in the same. And now that it is coming to video to own, I just have to pick up a copy. I just remember that this movie was such a cheesy riot (but I honestly can't recall whether it was purposely bad or not). I can't wait to see it again, a lot of questions will be answered.

Eight friends go to fix up an old house that Mark has purchased. Upon arriving they find the grave of Annabelle ( the former owner) in the back yard. She had killed her husband back in the 40's. Bob ( one of Marks friends ) smashes the headstone and awakens Annabelle, this begins the carnage. But the dead don't stay dead and the living can't escape as the house locks down tight to keep them in. Lots of blood and guts right from the start. A must see for the true "B" movie fan , so if you get the chance watch it.

During my sophomore year of college, my roommate and I rented just about every video from the shlock-horror section of Oasis Video in Salt Lake City. (I hope Oasis is still there). Run back to back with movies like Reanimator, Basket Case, The Evil Dead trilogy and Dead Alive, (plus ALL the Troma we could eat) I thought Dead Dudes was remarkably good. Low budget, funny, kinda creepy, and the best kind of ending:unhappy! I recommend viewing this with a 976-EVIL for maximum horror movie pleasure.

Finally found this movie on DVD bluray from Vinegar Syndrome. Saw this movie years ago on VHS and couldn't remember the name but happily stumbled upon it.

Bob Griffith (AKA Scott Rhodes) here. Glad to see that many of you have found this film and enjoy it. This was the first feature film that I stunt coordinated almost 20 years ago!!!!!!!!!!! I had a great experience shooting this film. A fun time up in Cherry Valley NY at a great location shooting a low budget horror flick. It was a very tight cast and crew. I remember doing some horseback riding and going to the Baseball Hall Of Fame with some of the cast and crew...And we had a gourmet cook who did all of the cooking and deserts(Some of the best food I have had on ANY set since...OK'Buffy The Vampire Slayer" was close behind!
