Dead and Buried

The film Dead & Buried, directed by Gary Sherman and starring Melody Anderson, Jack Albertson, and James Farentino, was released in 1981. Albertson's final live-action film performance was in this picture, in which he died six months after its premiere.

"Dead and Buried" is a famous horror film that combines zombies in the style of "White Zombie" with strange tiny communities. It also has special effects by Stan Winston, the late FX maestro. Tourists begin to be murdered at Potters Bluff, and the town's sheriff, Dan Gillis, is determined to figure out why. The problem is that the people do not remain dead. In his final picture, Jack Albertson portrays Dobbs as the coroner, who may or may not be related to the bizarre happenings taking place in town.
