For the past five or so years Mexico's CEMETERY OF TERROR (1985, aka Cementerio del terror) has been an important part of my Halloween diet. Director RUBEN GALINDO Jr. (DON'T PANIC) deliciously mixes up sweet and seasonal graveyard hijinks (sort of like ABC's fellow THRILLER-wannabe of the same year, THE MIDIGHT HOUR) with some sharp and salty supernatural stalking (sort of like Italy's more gritty and gruesome HALLOWEEEN cousin, JOE D'AMATO's faux GRIM REAPER (aka ANTHROPOPHAGUS) follow up, ABSURD (1981)). If you are looking for something more meaty than me trying desperately to fill out a paragraph with things I'm picking straight off the IMDB tree, jump over to my original slobbering review way beck HERE (Hey, don't judge; it's Sunday, the KT gold bar is serving Narragansett, I just got my record player fixed and I gotta get my MISSING PERSONS on). The important thing is, you can sample out CEMETERY OF TERROR below and if you dig it, buy the DVD so that you can happily watch it every year forever as I do.
Oh man, how I love this film, words cannot express…the little boy with the Michael Jackson jacket would have essentially been me at the time, I've never related to a slasher character more than him.
