Our Hallucinations series kicks off its four film sub-series of Seaside Horror with the 1981 shocker Dead & Buried!

The story follows a small town sheriff (James Farentino from The Final Countdown) who is baffled by a sudden series of grisly murders. A familiar plot to some, but director Gary Sherman ups the creepiness factor with a spooky setting and uniquely morbid sense of humor.

Unfairly ignored during its original theatrical release, Dead & Buried is one of those movies that was lucky enough to find a second life in the home-video market and is now considered a cult classic. Nearly forty years later, Grindhouse Releasing has released a brand new 4K restoration for us to enjoy on the big screen! 

Hosted by Polygon’s editor-in-chief Chris Plante, Hallucinations is a monthly event that spotlights movies that challenge our expectations of story, style, and “good taste”. We invite guests to bond over films that change what we expect from the medium, the world, and themselves. So come early, stay late, make friends, and watch something strange, surprising, or just shamelessly sick.
