Goofs:

Miscellaneous: Right at the end of the film, when the two survivors are trapped in the workshop, the "Prophecy of the Black Spider" appears on the screen, for us to read. However in this prophecy, the word "nights" is wrongly spelled "nigths" and "prophecy" is spelled "profecy."

Quotes:

Michael: Mother, this cloth smells of death!

best movie ever!

this is definitely my favorite zombie movie! it's really unfortunate that it is so hard to find and it goes by so many different names. i rented it first as "zombie 3", but i purchased it under the title "burial ground", i believe that it also goes by it's original Italian title "le notti del terrore" (the night of terror). if you are a fan of b-horror movies and zombie flicks (romero included) this movie is definitely worth the work to track down and own! i love you peter bark! i don't know what else to say about this movie other than OWN IT, and i think it is absurd that i have to type exactly 10 lines in order for my comment to be posted.
