From there, the film shifts to the young man, his sister, and their companions on a wild picnic. They decide on a whim to spend the night in a graveyard where they perform a séance raising the dead. The majority of the action is conveyed through flashbacks and nightmare sequences. Production and exhibitionAccording to Caelum Vatnsdal’s book They Came from Within, The Corpse Eaters was produced in 1973 by a teenaged Zazelenchuk[1] with a meagre budget of $36,000 culled from the proceeds of his drive-in located in Greater Sudbury. [1] Because his first and only feature film had such a small budget,[2] Zazelenchuk couldn’t afford his ideal star, John Carradine. Instead, Zazelenchuk brought local theatre performers and high school friends together to make what some consider Canada’s first gore film.[3] Zazelenchuk financed, wrote and produced the film. He is also credited with the special makeup effects. He left the direction to Donald R. Passmore, who was soon replaced with Klaus Vetter, who also served as the film's cinematographer.[1][4][5] On August 16, 1974, at the 69 Drive-In, The Corpse Eaters premiered in Greater Sudbury. A successful local run followed before Zazalenchuk was offered $5,000 for distribution rights from distributor Howard Mahler under his banner Howard Mahler Films.[3][6] The distributor, however, did not inform Zazelenchuk that he was purchasing the film without any intent on releasing it. It was used as a tax write off, and declared as a loss. The film was never released theatrically elsewhere.[3][2] The film faded into obscurity for years until Encore Home Video rediscovered it in 1993 and released it on DVD several years later, claiming to have transferred their copy from the only known surviving print. This version runs 57 minutes, and is considered incomplete, making it a partially lost film.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://horrorpedia.com/2015/06/30/corpse-eaters-1973-canadian-gore-horror-film-plot-reviews/|title=Corpse Eaters - Canada, 1973|date=30 June 2015|website=HORRORPEDIA}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://thezombiesite.com/corpse-eaters-1974/|title=Corpse Eaters (1974) - The Zombie Site|publisher=}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=197|title=Horror Reviews - Corpse Eaters (1974)|website=www.oh-the-horror.com}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.the-filmreel.com/2012/09/25/corpse-eaters-1974-or-just-order-out/|title=Corpse Eaters (1974) - or - Just order out.|date=25 September 2012|publisher=}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://goregirl.wordpress.com/2012/09/23/corpse-eaters-1974-the-dungeon-review/|title=CORPSE EATERS (1974) – The Dungeon Review!|date=23 September 2012|publisher=}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.grindhousedatabase.com/index.php/The_Corpse_Eaters|title=The Corpse Eaters - The Grindhouse Cinema Database|website=www.grindhousedatabase.com}} External links
