Vampire Flick: "I Sell The Dead." Offbeat, Not Unlike "The Apple Dumpling Gang"

2008 comedy horror film, "I Sell The Dead," may not be a "must see" but it will get you laughing in places. My favorite scene is highlighted in yellow, toward the bottom of this post. In short, it's the story of grave robbers and the accidental unearthing of vampires.

I watched this movie via Netflix. I'd recommend it for light offbeat humor (a distraction if you're bored).

Here are my tweets for this slap-stick humor. Read these bottom to top to appreciate them in chronological order.

"I Sell The Dead" ends with "A good cast is worth repeating" (as undead continue to walk this earth)

"It's pure and simple evil I met up with ... the living (pause) dead ... Took me ages to pry open the box ... I thought I was dead for sure.

Hilarious vampire attack scene (I Sell The Dead) When the stake is pulled from her heart she's animated. Shove it back in she's dead again.

Seems removing the large garlic necklace and wooden stake from a dead woman's corpse is not a good idea ... I Sell The Dead

"What I don't get is why they buried a corpse outside of a graveyard" says the apprentice. "Suicide, most likely." says the foreman

I Sell The Dead starts w/an old fashioned guillotine and slap-stick quips from the soon-to-be decapitated. (Think poverty & baby skeletons.)
