Then Is Now Podcast – Ep. 70 – 13 Days of Hallowtober 2021 – The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974)

My co-host on this episode, Rod Barnett, had previously joined me on episode 52, in which we discussed the Polizziotechi film, Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man. He is not only the host of the Naschycast, The Bloody Pit, and Wild, Wild Podcast, but also a master DVD and Blu-Ray commentator! Today we dive into the 1974 film, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, also known as Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Don’t Open the Window and a slew of other titles!

Italian heartthrob, Ray Lovelock, stars as George, an antiques dealer in Manchester England who ends up going with a girl named Edna to her sister’s house after she runs over his motorcycle with her car. The two get lost and end up embroiled in a terrifying scenario of the dead coming back to life, presumably because of a machine designed to eliminate insects! This classic, hidden gem is starting to become more well known, and owes a lot to George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead!

Check out the newspaper ads we found for this movie! Most are under the title, “Don’t Open the Window”.
