Wonderful character development!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A Brilliant Conflict

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Don Drake (George Hamilton) promises his doomed brother, on death row, that he will find the person responsible for his wife's murder. Don's search takes him into the dark world of dance marathons, where his brother had been a regular. He meets a man named Moss (Ray Milland), whom Drake will later approach for assistance. He is soon warned off by a mysterious woman, named Vera Lavalle (Linda Crystal), but believes he's seen his brother up and walking around! This leads Don into a nightmare realm he never knew existed. His next stop is a funeral home, where he meets his first re-animated corpse. Some unseen overlord, named Varek speaks through and controls these formerly-living automatons. The deeper Drake digs, the weirder and more dangerous it all becomes. THE DEAD DON'T DIE features some wonderful living dead moments. Director, Curtis Harrington makes the best of the limiting, network television medium, creating a macabre gem. Co-stars Ralph Meeker (THE NIGHT STALKER) as Lt. Reardon, and Reggie Nalder (SALEM'S LOT) as Perdido, the most awesome zombie of the bunch! Watch for Yvette Vickers (ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES) as a Moss interviewee named Miss adrian!...

This long forgotten gem gets my vote as the gr8est zombie movie ever. it was creepy, scary and haunting. Some of DDDs images will stay with you for a long time. George Hamilton does a great job as the lead. I've seen him in a lot of comedic roles and on all those 70's-80's wacky game shows but he pulls this off as a serious actor.I think the biggest mistake horror movies make is when they try too hard to mix comedy in and I was sure that, that was what Hamilton was supposed to do. BOY WAS I Surprised! You won't laugh once. Definitely one for the collection.Buy it... wait till midnight, turn out the lights and enjoy DDD!

Pretty good horror film from Robert Bloch (Psycho) and Curtis Harrington (Ruby). This one's a doozy. George Hamilton plays a guy whose brother is executed for a crime he didn't commit. There's a spooky execution scene, and then George has to find out the truth. Upon investigation Hamilton discovers zombies. Set in the '30s or '40s ( I can't remember ) this is a particular creepy TV movie I originally saw in 1975. Reggie Nalder (Salems' Lot) plays a zombie. The scene in a funeral parlor with Nalder rising from the dead is really cool. Ray Milland also stars and is his slimy best. Pretty good and shocking for a TV movie.

This is a fun one. I remember being scared as hell. In an attempt to solve a murder mystery, George Hamilton finds himself in a town inhabited by zombies. He even has a love scene with one of them!! It would be cool to see a remake. There has never been a zombie movie movie quite like this one. Hope i find it on a video shelf some day.
