Kehr are also useful. In addition to the disc’s razor-sharp image and rich color (making Ellen- shaw’s matte paintings all the more impressive), the mono soundtrack is crisp and clear. A healthy 26 chapter stops have been provided. This is as de­ finitive a presentation of the film as one is ever likely to have. —Rebecca & Sam Umland

When approached by detec­
tive Jersey Callum (Ed Nelson) and his foppish, young partner Gordon Mullin (James Euster- mann) to help solve the slayings of three Asian children, burned- out psychic investigator Alley
Cates (Deborah Rose) refuses. Haunted by the spirits of the slain children she’s unearthed and in­ capable of dealing with the pain engendered by her gift, she re­ considers when, in a dream, she’s embraced by the decayed remains of a murdered girl who may have been her daughter and whose body she’d psychically located for the authorities years before. After viewing the video­ taped confession of Chen (Rob­ ert Yun Ju Ahn), the mortuary owner who reported the deaths, and listening to his strange ad­ mission to having kept them alive by feeding them pieces sliced from cadavers, the trio visit the local morgue where their small bodies are temporarily being stored. They meet the establish­ ment’s grumpy night attendant Miss Poopinplatz (Phyllis Diller), her temperamental poodle
Floofsoms, and the morgue’s chief medical examiner Shepard (Norman Fell), who, consigned to a basement autopsy chamber, displays the bodies of the chil­ dren on a closed-circuit TV and, via dumbwaiter, sends a locket of hair from one of the victims to Alley for examination. When Marty (Willie Stratford, Jr.) a paramedic, attempts to deliver a body through the morgue’s en­ trance rather than the malfunc­ tioning basement doors, he’s harassed by Poopinplatz, who berates him with a tirade on es­ tablished procedures. Callum and Mullin assist him in deliver­ ing the body to the morgue just as Alley, in a psychometric vision, discovers Chen was correct: the corpses of the three children are indeed alive, animated by ma­ levolent and immortal Asian spir­ its that have enslaved the cursed
Life with Fang in no way prepared Phyllis Diller for the horrors of THE BONEYARD.
