Michael

Assumed Name: Michael

Movie Title: Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror

Year of Release: 1981

Director: Andrea Bianchi

Performance/Costume Review: How can I approach this gracefully? If you've seen this film then you know what I'm dancing around, if you haven't seen it then enter at your own risk. I will say I loved that Michael, the child, was portrayed by a real-life dwarf wearing a toupee. Yet, he does look like a kid I went to grade school with. So what else to say? Oh yeah, he had an uncomfortable closeness with his mom... thank's for the mammaries!

Pop-up Zombie

Assumed Name: Pop-up Zombie

Movie Title: Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror

Year of Release: 1981

Director: Andrea Bianchi

Performance/Costume Review: Some zombies crawl out of the ground, some walk out of a lake and some just hang out in graveyards, but only one zombie makes a pop-up appearance. I must say that the idea of zombies randomly popping up like those gophers at the arcade (the ones you hit with a big paddle) really would surprise me. Check out his eyes, he's crazy. I think I'd first wonder if he was a homeless man, but I'm well versed in zombie tactics so my second assumption would be a pop-up zombie.

Crawling Zombie

Assumed Name: Crawling Zombie

Movie Title: Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror

Year of Release: 1981

Director: Andrea Bianchi

Performance/Costume Review: I call this zombie the Crawling Zombie because he's first seen crawling towards two people making out. He just came out of the ground and, although he's crazy slow, it's kinda scary to see a crawling zombie. Later in the movie he stands up and walks around, but standing on two feet doesn't carry the same "creepy" factor that all fours do. I love the costume design in this film, they're some of the coolest looking zombies with maggots and everything. I miss the days when zombies were more than just some actor wearing bloodshot contact lenses.
