[edit] Synopsis
A professor whom is studying an ancient crypt near a cemetery accidentally opens evil from beyond the grave on a burial ground. The curse unleashes the dead to rise up from their grave to devour the living for their cannibalistic needs, lucky for the undead, their main course will be a group of socialites having a weekend in a large mansion.
Burial Ground is famous for Peter Bark's touching portrayal of young Michael. Bark, who in reality is an elderly midget, turns in a heart-wrenching performance as a young lad that lusts after his mother, both before and after becoming a zombie.
