Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things 1973 ★★★

Reviewed Mar 18, 2012

A year before he made the woefully under-seen Black Christmas (which one could argue was the real first killer's-eye-view slasher and an inspiration for Halloween and the whole genre), Bob Clark first tried his hand in horror with this low-budget zombie movie. It's everything you think it would be from the title: a bizarre mix of comedy and gore, rough around the edges, and a must-see for horror fans. We're a long way from A Christmas Story here, kids! But maybe not too far from Porky's.
