Retro Blood 147: Dead & Buried (1981)

Join James Kline and J.A. Alison as we dive into the eerie world of non-traditional zombie movies for our special series, "It Came from the Grave: Part 2." In this episode, we're exploring the chilling 1981 film Dead and Buried. We kick things off with some quick thoughts on Dead and Buried before diving into our weekly history segment. This week, we're talking about the world of pro wrestling and metal around the film's release date, May 29, 1981. We discuss wrestler Steve O (not the one you might be thinking of), our experience attending AEW live on July 31, 2024, and share our thoughts on SummerSlam 2024. Next, we delve into the band Anvil and their album Hard 'n' Heavy. Then, we shift our focus to the film's production, including director Gary Sherman's unique vision and the curious case of Dan O'Bannon's credit despite his minimal involvement. We also highlight the incredible special effects by Stan Winston and discuss the careers of Jack Albertson (William Dobbs) and Robert Englund (Harry, aka a young Freddy Krueger). Finally, we dive into a full review of Dead and Buried. We unravel the mystery with Sheriff Dan, puzzled throughout the film, and examine Janet and her witchcraft, the deadly small-town folk, and why people often perceive small towns as safe havens.
