Dude,,!! I love this movie.!! ive seen this when i was 7-8 years old. They dont make them like this anymore.? this move is the holy grail of classic horror..!! This film is hands down my fav of all time.!!!
Do you believe this is one of Silent Hill's inspirations? i guess those games borrowed from this movie big time and you'll notice how there are similarities involved.
This isn't a real TV spot... it's a promo for the old VHS release of the movie in the 80s. I knew it couldn't have been a real TV spot because they would never have shown the gory shots on TV, and it's also pretty badly edited and unexciting.
@egglady - That's correct. This is definitely not a T.V. spot and indeed the home video spot produced by Paragon Video Productions and featured on many of their videocassettes in the early 1980s.
Me and my friend went to see this at Stadium Cinema in St Louis Mo. back in the early 1980s. It was right across the street from Busch Stadium and we were the only two white people in the theatre. A fist fight broke out during the movie. I dunno which was scarier the movie or being the only two whiteys there lol
I'm watching it right now you got to give any movie credit that uses a inflatable love doll as a jump scare and what makes it better is the guy looks like he's going to use it. MMMMMMM forbidden love doll
I spent literally four months trying to rent this movie some 27 years ago. it was always checked out. I seen the trailers on many horror films that i watched and collected. This movie was my ultimate quest as a 12 year old because of it's 17 and under warning. Was very disappointed, but the puke scene was great!
This actually has images. I remember seeing a commercial in the 80's with just an image an the title in red with a bit of sound. What WAS different was: No ONE under 17 allowed. Which was news to my back than (outside of porn films).
I watched this movie when I was little and it scared the living shit out of me!! I wouldn't walk anywhere in the dark because I thought that priest would flash up and my eyes would bleed! I have it on DVD, but they changed the name to City Of The Living Dead. I personally like The Gates Of Hell better.
Me too. I mean, with a name like City of the Living Dead I would have expected a LOT more zombies and a bigger production value. Also, these zombies have an unfair advantage by appearing suddenly out of thin air!
This was one of 2 or three of Lucio Fulci's films that got late night promos on TV, the other 2 I can remember being "House By The Cemetery" and "Zombie."
I was a kid when this film was released in theaters, and it had a cool, forbidden mystique about it because no one under 17 could get in at all (it was released 'unrated', which was a shame, because an official X-rated horror film would've seemed even cooler). Alas, at a video store years later I made the mistake of renting it. That 'intestine puking' scene makes me sick every time I think about it, and that's the only memorable part in the whole damn thing.

They showed a guy getting a drill to the head. Exactly how does this qualify as a TV trailer?
