THE VIDEO DEAD-1987-A guy
receives a TV set anonymously. He watches a black and white zombie
movie that continues to play even after he pulls the plug. Overnight
zombies come out of the TV and kill the guy. 3 months later brother
and sister Jeff (Rocky Duvall) and Zoe (Roxanna Augesten) are living
in the house waiting for their parents to come back from Saudi
Arabia. Jeff finds the TV in the attic and helps neighbor April (Vicki
Bastel; also in THE BAD LIEUTENANT) look for her lost
poodle. The dog dies and there seems to be zombies in the local
woods. While Jeff is smoking a joint, a woman comes out of the TV and
kisses him. She goes back into the TV and her throat is cut by “The
Garbage Man”. When Jeff tries to get rid of the TV a severed hand
attacks him. Zombies invade April's home and do dumb things like
sitting around a table pretending to eat. One puts on a wig and is
scared by a blender. A zombie pops out of a dishwasher and kills a
woman. A man has his head twisted around. A guy name Daniels (Sam
David McClelland) shows up and says the TV's haunted. After April is
killed Jeff, Zoe and Daniels fight the zombies. The guys are killed
and Zoe has to fight some zombies by not showing fear. Unfortunately
she goes insane. You might too. Robert Scott, the writer/director of
this nonsense was was actually a second unit director on many TV
shows.
