Question
When i was in grade school, my brother, who is ten years older then me rented a horror movie from the 80's. The film took place in a suburban house that a family just moved into. the family finds an old t.v. in the basement with a mirror in front of it. one of the kids knocks the mirror over and zombies start coming out and terrorizing the family. I thought the title was "T.V. Dead" but that isn't right. Do you know what movie i'm talking about?

Answer
Hi, Jay...

I'm not finding this thing anywhere... it sounds remarkably like something that would have been on "USA's Up All Night," that movie show on USA network hosted by Rhonda Shears in the 80's... she loved to run cheesy horror films....

Can you tell me anything else about this film? Actors, what they looked like, any of that?

Send me a follow-up and let me know...

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?

Just a lifetime subscription to "Famous Monsters of Filmland," and another to "Fangoria."
