THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD (1978). Absolutely mesmerizing horror anthology, with striking visuals throughout, rivaling the much better known TRILOGY OF TERROR (1975) and the Amicus films TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972) and VAULT OF HORROR (1973). Bizzarely re-released as ALIEN ZONE (a title having nothing to do with the film), and virtually unseeable until the recent Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray. The only feature film by Sharron Miller, who began as a script supervisor and moved into directing, a prolific television director whose work included CAGNEY AND LACEY, ABC After-School Specials, and many others. @vinegarsyndrome #nightmareusa #stephenthrower #scriptsupervisor #horroranthology #womeninfilm https://www.instagram.com/p/BnVUgbegRu9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m4y7b3pcsceb
