Episode 15: The Dead Next Door 1989

Welcome, brave listeners, to another chilling episode of Deadnotes, the horror movie podcast where we dig up the darkest films and dissect them with a side of screams… and maybe some laughs.We’re shambling into some low-budget, high-gore territory with the 1989 cult classic The Dead Next Door. A movie that proves you don’t need a big budget to splatter brains across the screen—just a lot of red corn syrup and a dream.This one’s a real bloody mess in the best way possible. Directed by J.R. Bookwalter and produced by Sam Raimi on a shoestring budget, it’s got zombies, mad scientists, and enough cheesy one-liners to make you groan louder than the undead. So grab your boomstick, double-check your locks, and let’s see if the dead next door are knocking… or just here for the popcorn.
