Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray resurrects Bob Clark’s cult-drive-in classic with a fresh restoration and a loaded batch of new and archival bonus features.
 
The SET-UP: Five young kinky actors and their artistic director come to a desolate and nearly forgotten burial island, complete with a morbid history of murder, rape, curses and demons. Alan (Alan Ormsby), the brilliant but bizarre director of the company, has brought them to this foreboding place to dabble in witchcraft; specifically to dig up a fresh corpse and use it in a ritual ceremony designed to raise the dead from their graves.
 
The PAY-OFF: It seems as though Alan has really gathered his “children” here only to play a practical joke on them and then party the rest of the night away. However, the joke’s on Alan. His bizarre ritual ceremony really does raise the dead from their graves… only they’re in no mood to party!
 
NOTE: “Benjamin” Clark is really Bob Clark, the creative director behind PORKY’S, BLACK CHRISTMAS and A CHRISTMAS STORY, among others. Alan Ormsby — despite delivering what has been described as “one of the most obnoxious screen performances in history!” — went on to write films such as MY BODYGUARD, CAT PEOPLE, KARATE KID III and PORKY’S II.
