"Alien Zone" aka "House of the Dead" features four creepy stories told by a creepy embalmer.A man lost on his way to hotel listens to his tales.The first tale about a school teacher who hates children managed to creep me out.This nervous woman is being stalked by little children hidden behind their disturbing clown masks.The second story about serial killer of women,who enjoys filming his victims is quite boring and tedious.The stories number three and four are worth checking out.I still don't know why this film was titled "Alien Zone",because there are no aliens or galaxy invaders in it.A passable "Twilight Zone"-ish anthology.7 aliens of of 10.

House of the Dead AKA Alien Zone (1978). I think House of the Dead is definitely the better title for this one -- Alien Zone doesn't fit it too well at all that sounds like a sci-fi film and this one has no Aliens in it (well maybe those creepy kids in the first story).I really enjoyed all of the stories in this anthology. I think the 1st story, Mrs. Sibiler, and the 3rd story, The Investigator and The Detective, are my favorites - tied for first place. Then I would say the 2nd story and last but not least the 4th story. Of course the story that starts and ends the anthology is the best off all (Talmudge and The Mortician)... The Mortician tells Talmudge and the viewers the 4 stories plus they have a tale of their own.Worth watching if you like horror anthologies.8/10

I put this movie in with my 12 year old cousin..and we were both blown away!! We expected it to be horrible acting and a hard to follow story. But yah..after i watched it i was speechless!! I loved how original all the stories were in the funeral home. The most boring one would have to be the guy who lures girls to his house and kills them!! haha. But this movie is worth seeing for anyone that likes good stories. I even had my friend watch it with me and he gave it a 9 out of 10!! Definitely one of my favorite old movies that was never popular!! If anyone has any suggestions as to some other good old movies...tell me some!!!
