Lovecraft
[edit]I noticed that Lovecraft is listed as one of the authors of this movie. Which Lovecraft story is this inspired by? I've never seen it. -Elizabennet 20:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Following up with this, as per the article, Fulci stated he wanted to make a Lovecraft-inspired story, but did not base it off any of his actual stories. Andrzejbanas (talk) 08:17, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:HouseByTheCemetaryDVD-1-.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:HouseByTheCemetaryDVD-1-.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Tagline
[edit]The IMDB lists the tagline as "Beware the demon forces of the blood beasts", which is wonderful. But where does this come from? The poster in the article has a different tagline; the VHS videotape has "Can anyone survive the demented marauding zombies", [1] the Italian posters I can find have nothing, the interminable trailer on Youtube has tonnes of gore but no tagline. There are only four Google hits for the IMDB's information, even allowing for the odd punctuation, of which three are just copies of the IMDB. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 00:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Reception
[edit]Just had the misfortune to sit through 1hr 40 min of this garbage. It truly is a poor film, with an almost bizarre randomness to the story. Like the father who just doesn't seem to care about the house or the noises and the baby sitter who seems to not mind/question cleaning up the huge blood stain on the kitchen floor (if she knew about the zombie in the basement, she there sacrifices her self willing to the creature? If she doesn't, then the previous scenes when she actually seems to help the monster are just stupid).
Therefore this article needs some critical reaction because despite the attempts to ban it for the gore and violence, it is in fact a work of great crapness which doesn't deserve the credit it gets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.18.183 (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- Reception material has been added, it generally agrees with your overview. Andrzejbanas (talk) 08:17, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- I like the movie, the dreamlike atmosphere, the shocks etc. However, I see that it is definitly not for everyone and I cannot say that your critisism is invalid. I also wonder why some plot parts are so random and contradictory. I think some must be on purpose to create an surreal world but it might has to do with limited development time 2A02:1210:2A4D:C800:847A:2EBA:51E7:20C9 (talk) 16:22, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
