Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things

Bob Clark is best known as the director of Porky's and A Christmas Story - popular light comedies. Here, the film maker helms one of the more grisly, funny and disturbing zombie movies of all time.

If you proudly own rambunctious rugrats, you know the score - Kids will play with pretty much anything. They’ll happily play and bang away loudly on an empty coffee can or make a shoe box fort for warring doll armies. They will steal your favorite tennis shoes, toss in noxious liquid and proceed to wear them out all over creation.

And they may even wander around and find themselves in a graveyard...

In this unforgettable and thoroughly jarring horror romp from 1972, a few rather mature youngsters find deadly playtime with a graveyard full of corpses. They soon live - more or less DIE - to regret it. It’s billed as Orville’s coming out party, and you’ll have to just watch the entire film to understand that little mind bending angle.

Masterfully directed by Bob Clark, best known for the teen sex comedy Porky’s and the traditional holiday romp, A Christmas Story, this one ranks among the most disturbing horror rides featuring a cast full of rampaging undead. Although it’s something of a cult film, it’s still somehow unknown to many horror hounds out there. C’mon my deadly deadheads, let’s talk a zombie scare fest which serves as a neat throwback to the magically created walking dead.
