The Dead Come Home

I got this movie out yearsssss ago to watch at my birthday party, and i absolutely loved it, as did all my friends...We got it out again a short time later for another friends birthday, and loved it all over again. It now has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth, i cannot find it anywhere, noone has heard of it. Its a great movie and I hopefully will find it again soon!!!

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!

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.

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.

"The Dead Come Home", "Dead Dudes in the House" or "The House on Tombstone Hill" is a unique horror movie. It doesn't really have characters that are all that interesting, but what it does have is a an interesting premise that is done really well, style, humour, gore and a surprising amount of physical fights between the characters. It's a good movie for the genre lovers that clearly had thought and love put into it and I think it deserves at least a 6.5/10, a whole point+ more than the rating currently is. The whole thing could have been even better if the characters were more interesting and the budget was higher. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a good movie that will provide you with 90 minutes of fun, especially if you are a genre fan! If you are a casual though, you won't find anything deep here. It's a fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and that's pretty much it...
