DEAD & BURIED
MOVIE ARTICLE

Melody Anderson's very next movie after FLASH GORDON was this.

Before Robert Englund was in this movie, he was Buck in Tobe Hooper's EATEN ALIVE. The same year Robert was in this movie he was also in GALAXY OF TERROR and he was on the cusp of becoming his lifelong alter ego, Freddy Kruger in A NIGHTMARE ON ELMSTREET.

Before Lisa Blount was in John Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS, she was in this movie.

Practical make-up artist, Stan Winston (TERMINATOR, ALIENS, PREDATOR), after nearly ten years in the business and plenty of uncredited jobs in movies from BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES to FRIDAY THE 13th Part 2, was finally starting his own SFX house and getting top billing in a major (if not big) studio production written by the top writers of the day.

And while nearly every n00b was walking into their future careers and even cinema history? Well, at the same time, the big name stars in this flick were all walking out.

Jack Albertson would die the year of this movie's release.

It was James Farentino and Jack Albertson's only Horror movie together and Farentino's only lead role in a theatrically released feature film (Like Albertson, Farentino was a solid "Working actor". Rarely excelling but always turning in a solid performance).

In retrospect, it was an open career door for those both entering and exiting the stage.

But how good was Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett's first major motion picture after ALIEN? Read my review of DEAD & BURIED.
