Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1973)
From Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (also known as Revenge of the Living Dead, Things From the Dead, and Zreaks) is a 1972 comedic horror film directed by Bob Clark. This low-budget zombie movie is the third film of director Bob Clark, who later became famous for directing the films Black Christmas, A Christmas Story, and Porky's.
The film was shot in 14 days on a budget of $70,000. Clark employed some of his college friends on it. Encyclopedia of Horror concludes that given the budget and the number of personnel involved, the special effects (by Ormsby himself) are "surprisingly effective".
The story focuses on a theatre troupe, led by Alan (Alan Ormsby). He is a mean-spirited director, who travels with the others by boat to a small island for buried criminals to have a night of fun and games. Once on the island Alan tells his group he calls his "children" numerous stories relating to the island's history and buried inhabitants. At midnight using a grimoire, Alan begins a séance to raise the dead after digging up the body of a man named Orville Dunworth.
