The Dead Have A Sense Of Humor Too!
by Nick Schwab
I Sell The Dead (out on DVD/Blu Ray now) is a horror/comedy that puts the wackiness back into those genres. Directed by newcomer, Glen McQuaid, who invokes both the creature-laden Universal monster movies and the atmosphere of Hammer films, lets this fog-shrouded tale take on an almost vintage EC comic book approach to the storytelling.
The film concerns a grave robber in the 18th century who before meeting his death at the guillotine, reflects on this life of both murder and fending off vampires, zombies, and other ghouls. The film is told in a series of flashbacks of the encounters with such creatures as well as a rival family of grave robbers.

When speaking of how this film fits in with the other projects that he has had a hand in Fessenden explains, "It's much more fanciful. We're borrowing from a different style," he said. "What I like about Glen's vision is it's much more comedic and upbeat."
