Dead & Buried
“Co-written by Dan O’Bannon” is worth its weight in gold when it comes to cult cinema, and yet this 1981 release doesn’t have nearly the fame of O’Bannon’s other associations, including Alien and Return of the Living Dead. Future famous faces Robert “Freddy Krueger” Englund and Lisa Blount (who also stars in Prince of Darkness) have supporting roles in this tale, but Oscar winner Jack Albertson (who also played memorable roles in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and The Poseidon Adventure) steals the movie as an eccentric coroner in a small seaside town that’s hiding a big secret.
