Wissenswertes
Was shot under the title "Shadows over Bridge Place," but later released as "House of the Living Dead" and "Curse of the Dead" to cash in on the then-popular zombie movies, even though there are no zombies in the movie whatsoever.

Patzer
Mary Anne's low-cut dress at dinner is inappropriate for the period. Only a strumpet would wear a neckline so low in the Victorian age.

"His Head Was Badly Crushed!"...

On a Victorian-era plantation in South Africa, the cursed Brattling family endures yet more misfortune. In spite of the warnings of Lady Brattling, Sir Michael (Mark Burns), welcomes his fiancee, Mary (Shirley anne Field), to visit the estate. Meanwhile, Sir Michael's insane brother appears to carry out bizarre experiments in his laboratory, when he's not playing spooky songs on the organ, or creeping about the place.

Several deaths, both animal and human, ensue.

The wildly misnamed, HOUSE OF THE LIVING DEAD plays like a costume drama / murder mystery with horror elements. Most of this is in the form of mad science and occult shenanigans. The plot is intriguing, and the ending is completely bonkers...
