Did You Know?
| Trivia | The original Italian title translates as "The Etruscan Kills Again," but, thinking the Etruscans would be largely unknown outside of Italy, it was re-titled "The Dead are Alive!" to market it in America as a zombie movie, a la Night of the Living Dead (1968), to which it has no connection whatsoever, and in Germany as an Edgar Wallace movie, with the title translated as "Secrets of the Yellow Grave" ("yellow" as in "giallo"). However, the Bryan Edgar Wallace who wrote the story that the movie was based on, is not the renowned filmmaker so popular among Germans, Edgar Wallace. See more » |
| Goofs | The final images show a burning canvas with the image of the evil Etruscan god painted on it. For a movie that purports to be about Etruscology, someone should have known the Etruscans didn't paint on canvas. See more » |

| Quotes |
Inspector Giuranna:
i'm not particularly shocked by the ferocity of the crime. I've seen worse. It's the macabre touch, the way the bodies were laid out. Disturbing, don't you think? Like, uh... Jason Porter: Like sculptures on a sarcophagus. See more » |
