Corpse Eaters (1974) is the brainchild of Lawrence Zazelenchuk, a drive-in theater owner and erstwhile nickel miner in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, who decided to make a horror film he could show in his drive-in. This micro-budget dreck is a sight to behold, but please take that figuratively, not literally. Unfocused visuals, an undecipherable story, a laughable gimmick, poor effects, filler galore, and a cast of one-time actors in terms of IMDb credits make Corpse Eaters easily the worst of the 240 films the ’70s Grue Crew has covered. Unlike Godmonster of Indian Flats (1973) or Fury of the Wolfman (1972), there is nothing about this one that has any redeeming value… well, except for our talkabout. This might be the exception when you would be better off taking in our discussion before deciding to invest your time watching Corpse Eaters. We’re just sayin’.

At the time of this writing, Corpse Eaters (1974) is available to stream from Tubi.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next ‘70s episode, chosen by Bill, will be The Last Dinosaur (1974), starring Richard Boone, Joan Van Ark, Steven Keats, and Luther Rackley. This time, rather than stop motion animation, the dinosaur of the title is of the man-in-suit variety in this joint production from Rankin/Bass Productions and Tsuburaya Productions.
