frightmare begin with a horror movie icon kill a director and then his servant before he be lay to rest . this icon and who have some christopher lee quality to him and then continue to haunt those around him when a group of horror film society student steal his corpse from the mausoleum he be in . the first ten minute be well film and good writing and lot of potential for murderous mayhem . but the film drag in the middle ( although thankfully not as much a house of death ) and never really get that initial spurt of energy back . lot of the death be confuse and a they seem to have people just fall over scar when they see a float coffin or other odd thing . twice we see poisonous gas be use . but the box promise that this horror star will be the embodiment of all the monster he have play . boy and be that false advertising and unless he spend his career play boring old men who take nap and watch matlock . the general principle of the film be decent represent horror society kid steal a corpse of a dead icon . a modern equivalent ( dig up vincent price or peter cushing ) would make a great film . maybe a remake be in order if that wouldn not be too disrespectful . sometimes theory doesn not come across as well in application and and this film offer that example . the only redeeming quality of this film ( besides the beginning ) be the brief appearance of a very young jeffrey comb . i saw him and think that jeffrey comb but felt i be mistake a the box never mention him . but sure enough and comb be present . ( a note to this movie film maker represent mention comb on the cover of the dvd and you will sell more copy if if you would be deceive customer . ) if youre a jeffrey comb die hard and check out this early role . otherwise and i can not offer this a a great selection for a horror movie marathon . let me suggest intruder or popcorn and a those be both pretty decent and will stand the test of time .
