"You're all alone, and an old horror film is showing on late night T.V. - a group of zombies is prowling through a misty wood. Suddenly, one of the zombies turns towards you and starts beating on the T.V. screen. As the set explodes outwards and a rotting hand reaches for your throat, you realise it's too late to hit the "pause" button... You're a victim of the Video Dead."

Hold on.... I thought it said a late night film showing on T.V. How can you pause a T.V. film? Is this set in the future? Is this the dawning of the DIGITAL T.V. DEAD? Anyway, I don't know what it is about this film, but I liked it lots. Great idea, great to watch at night when your house mate is leaving for Greece at about 1am.

"Set in a small Eastern European town in the early 19th century, this chilling tale concerns the terrible vengeance of a gypsy woman attached to a travelling circus. All who cross her path perish horribly as she fulfills the dying curse of a vampire count. This production set new standars in horror that many feel have yet to be equalled."

Well I think that it has not only been equalled now, but surpased. It was filmed in a "Blair Witch" documentary style - crappy camera shots and all. But has the Hammer House of Horrors ever come up with a duff 'un?
