CELLAR DWELLER 1988 (SHOUT FACTORY)

Odd and overlooked 80's horror.

Jeffrey Combs has a small part in the beginning of this movie as a comic artist in the 1930's whose creation comes to life and kills him.

We jump ahead to 1988 and a young female artist is obsessed with his work and movies into a house in which he lived. the house is now a boarding house run by Mrs. Briggs, played by Yvonne De Carlo. The artist Whitney Taylor, played by Deborah Mullowney starts to raw the "Cellar Dweller" which also comes to life and starts killing the other people living in the house.

The monster is very cool looking and kills people in various gory ways an the cast does a good job with the material they have. The cast is rounded out with Vince Edwards and Pamela Bellwood. This is a long neglected film that fell through he cracks and it has been brought into the light by Shout Factory on their "All Night Horror Marathon Vol. 2" collection. recommended!!
