    • Quotes

      [Ann is kneeling on the floor, mopping up a huge pool of blood]

      Lucy Boyle: What are you doing?

      Ann, the babysitter: I made coffee.

    • Crazy credits
      In the end credits: "no one will ever know whether children are monsters or monsters are children." - Henry James
    • Alternate versions
      The Vestron home video release of "House By the Cemetery", which was released during the 1980s, has two reels of footage out of order. This error makes for a nearly incomprehensible film, as characters who die are seen later seen alive and running around as if they had never been killed.

    Kick-ass!
    Probably the best Lucio Fulci movie! Still beats any hollywood horror movie 10-0. I have seen this about 4 times and it still keeps shocking me! Looking for good horror? Rent/buy this! (here in finland, you must buy films from other countries, everything is banned here... not so cool).
