Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things

Skräck från 1972 av Bob Clark med Alan Ormsby och Valerie Mamches. A darkly comic pastiche of George A. Romero’s “Night Of The Living Dead”, CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS is a bona fide zombie cult classic in its own right. Written and directed by Bob Clark (Turk 182; A Christmas Story; Porky’s; Murder By Decree; Black Christmas) and starring Alan Ormsby, it is a low-budget gem that has inspired countless horror filmmakers over the years.

In a cemetery on a remote island, a detestable theatre director, Alan (played by Alan Ormsby), convinces his reluctant company of actors to take part in a bizarre satanic ritual aimed at reanimating a corpse. The whole thing turns out to be a prank, but buoyed by the success of his caper, Alan decides to try and raise the dead for real with the aid of an ancient book of sorcery. When the ritual apparently fails, Alan insists on dragging a recently disinterred corpse, whom he names Orville, back to the house in which the group are due to spend the night. There, he initiates a sham wedding between Orville and himself and proceeds to mock both the dead and the supernatural forces that have seemingly failed him. Meanwhile, back at the cemetery, the earth is beginning to stir, as the dead are reborn in the form of a vengeful horde of flesh-hungry zombies.
