The Video Dead1987
“Look what's buried inside your television.”
Directed by Robert Scott
The premise
On a quiet, tree-lined street, an old television set receives a single channel that repeats the same horror film over and over, freeing zombies from the grave to kill.
Horror Vault's take
A mysterious television set arrives unannounced and begins broadcasting something far more dangerous than late-night horror movies — the undead themselves, stepping right out of the screen into an unsuspecting neighborhood. This low-budget 1987 cult oddity blends suburban satire with gonzo zombie mayhem, leaning hard into its own absurd premise. The residents of one quiet street are about to discover that changing the channel is no longer an option.
