Last Updated on February 9, 2023

It’s time for a new episode of the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series, and in this one we’re looking back at the 1994 Italian horror comedy Cemetery Man, a.k.a. Dellamorte Dellamore (get it HERE). To find out all about Cemetery Man, check out the video embedded above!

Based on the novel Dellamorte Dellamore by Tiziano Sclavi, Cemetery Man was directed by Michele Soavi from a screenplay by Gianni Romoli. The film has the following synopsis: Something is causing the dead to rise from their graves as flesh-eating zombies, and cemetery custodian Francesco Dellamorte grows tired of killing them all for the second time. However, the town politicians won’t listen to him, so Francesco is on his own. One day, he falls for a beautiful woman whose husband has recently died — but their affair is tragically interrupted by zombies, sending Francesco into a tailspin of madness and woe.
