Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is one of the most profitable independent movies ever made. Made for $114,000 (equivalent to $941,800 in 2022), it grossed approximately $30 million (equivalent to $247.8 million in 2022) - over 263 times its budget.
- GoofsThe first time the dead body is seen at the top of the stairs, the face has been eaten away. Later when the body is being dragged away, the rug conveniently covers the face, but the face can be seen for a split second, and it is clearly normal.
- Quotes
Johnny: [in a creepy voice] They're coming to get you, Barbra!
Barbra: Stop it! You're ignorant!
Johnny: They're coming for you, Barbra!
Barbra: Stop it! You're acting like a child!
Johnny: They're coming for you!
[points to the cemetery zombie]
Johnny: Look, there comes one of them now!
Barbra: He'll hear you!
Johnny: Here he comes now! I'm getting out of here!
- Crazy creditsThere is no on-screen copyright notice, nor any of the usual legal disclaimers typically found in movie credits; this is the main reason the film has been in the public domain since its release.
- Alternate versionsDespite being billed as a collectors' edition and containing many extras, the UK Contender DVD appears to be missing several sequences including most of the cannibalism scenes following the attack on the car, as well as heavily reducing the trowel murder from 14 blows to three. None of these cuts were imposed by the BBFC as all video/DVD releases in the UK have always been uncut.
