Episode 77: Let the Sleeping Corpses Lie in Manchester Morgue and Children Should Not Play with Dead Things

Send us Fan MailThe battle of the overly long titled and very dated 1970s zombie films this week as we watch, review and discuss Let the Sleeping Corpses Lie In Manchester Morgue (1974) and Children Should Not Play With Dead Things (1972) from the makers of Porky's.Where to start? These two very dated movies are on the Z List. One had a cult status, the other lesser known, and but (interestingly) post Night of the Living Dead, pre Dawn of the Dead. So they aren't riding on the coat tails of Dawn like many of the 1970s and 80s European movies we watched. These were ahead of the Dawn era and took two very different looks at the cause of a zombie outbreak. In Children it is a satanic ritual, in Manchester it was modern technology and radiation causing ecological disasters. Both big topics in the 1970s.Did we like them? You will have to listen and find out. One could be remade. But which one?
