In 18th century England, Arthur Blake is a day away from the blade of the guillotine. Charged with a lifetime of grave robbing, Blake confesses his past crimes, but his stories quickly turn from standard cadaver thefts for science to peculiar things that go bump in the night. Juggling a mad doctor, a nefarious rival gang, a beautiful but ambitious apprentice, and a scary spectrum of creatures, Blake and his partner Willie Grimes somehow always lived to tell the tale . . . that is, until the pesky death sentence was served.
Filmmaker Glenn McQuaid's gleeful period comedy horror romp portrays its heroes as two average men simply trying to make a living by trafficking the undead. A marvelous cast of veterans skillfully treads between laughs and cries, including Ron Perlman, Dominic Monaghan, Larry Fessenden, and even Phantasm's Angus Scrimm. Meanwhile, McQuaid pays homage to Hammer Horror with foggy graveyards, bustling taverns, and creepy characters, while comic book flourishes recall the eerie delights of 'Tales from the Crypt' in this film that is certain to thrill boys and ghouls alike.
With special guest attendees Dominic Monaghan and Ron Perlman
