Dead and Buried (1981) is a phenomenal film! There is plenty to discuss regarding the making of this movie as well as the methods used to achieve its look. The Grue-Crew, joined by Gregory Crosby, are in awe of Stan Winston’s effects work. “Awe,” they say! Jack Albertson, in his last role, delivers his portrayal of the big-band-loving, splendidly attired mortician with style and grace. James Farentino’s character, the town sheriff, is put through the wringer as he tries to figure out just WTF is going on in “his” town. As Joseph Heller wrote and Sheriff Gillis learns, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.” Then, there’s that ending! Don’t get the Grue-Crew wrong. Dead and Buried has its flaws, but the good parts are so good!
