Do you ever wonder why zombies are so strong and why a nurse couldn't overpower a baby zombie? Ever puzzled over why the zombie virus in certain films doesn't spread through bites or scratches? We're unpacking all these mysteries and more as we dive into the 1974 classic horror, 'Let's Sleeping Corpses Lie' by Jorge Grau. We'll kick things off with our first impressions, then navigate through the film’s unique elements, including the slow-moving (yet freakishly strong) zombies, its comedy horror vibe, and the uncanny parallels to 'Night of the Living Dead'.
We promise you a horror film experience like no other. Brace yourselves as we traverse through the film's plot holes and inconsistencies, such as the curious presence of artifacts in George's art shop and the peculiar absence of any reference to the art store opening sequence after its initial mention. We'll also dissect the film's clever use of special effects, examining the impressively ghastly zombie makeovers and those spine-chilling scenes that still give us the creeps.
To cap things off, we'll reveal some behind-the-scenes secrets and explore the whopping 16 alternative titles of the movie (yes, sixteen!). We'll also share some fascinating trivia about the historical English graveyard scene, and how Grau's intriguing personal life influenced his craft. Whether you're a seasoned horror film fanatic or a newbie to the genre, this episode is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. So grab some popcorn and get ready for a thrilling ride through the eerie world of 'Let's Sleeping Corpses Lie'!
