i do not get it . the teenage lead in horror star supposedly all be devote horror fan and yet when their favorite idol ( conrad radzoff ) pass away and they dig up his corpse and do all sort of disrespectful stuff with it and like disco dance it around the house and throw food leftover at it . that doesn not sound like something real horror fan would do and now do it . i be a big horror fan and i immensely idolize departed icon like vincent price and peter cushing and boris karloff and but it would never come to my mind to ridicule their memory . no wonder conrad come back from the dead admittedly and after a séance to wipe them all off the face of the earth . mr. radzoff already wasn not know for his friendliness in life and since he occasionally kill the director that disagree with his vision and and even after his death he suffer from a tremendous ego . even inside his tomb there be video message to petrify possible visitor and the group of teenager will vividly experience that he also enjoy the murdering business outside his film set . horror star ( a. k. a. frightmare and body snatcher ) be a pretty lame 80 horror flick and but there be a handful of cheesy and gory highlight to enjoy . the film mainly suffer from it own stupid plot and since no one not even a film school student be stupid enough to steal a recently bury corpse and actually think he will get away with it and and there be too many tedious moment to struggle through . conrad video speech from beyond the grave be overly talkative and definitely undermine the tension and but on the other hand his killing method be pleasingly inventive . one teenager enjoy the experience of get cremate alive and another one ( jeffrey comb in one of his first role . ) lose his head in a delightful decapitation sequence . in the absolute messy sequence and a poor girl head be crush by a coffin . writer or director norman thaddeus vane want to bring homage to vintage horror cinema and he obviously how to make film look sinister . the location and scenery be great and but vane lack the necessary fund to provide his film with a proper continuity and edit job . the acting performance be overall decent and with ferdy mayne ( imitate christopher lee ) and jeffrey comb deliver the most memorable role . horror star can hardly be call a must see or even a good film and but it worth track down in case youre an admirer of enthusiastically make b horror .
