Masters of Horror: Tobe Hooper - Dance of the Dead
This movie has a 82.5% Approval Rating Based on 4 Reviews Read Reviews


Based on his father's celebrated short story, "Dance of the Dead" depicts a post-apocalyptic dystopia wherein re-animated corpses of former friends and enemies dance on stage at "The Doom Room" for the entertainment of a few that survived a nuclear holocaust. Too naive and wholesome for her own good, Peggy (Jessica Lowndes) embarks on a double date with the rebellious Jak (Jonathan Tucker). Her nervous fits of laughter quickly turn to panicked screams as she learns the truth of the dangerous world outside her mother's protective cloister, and the sacrifices that were made in order to guarantee her survival.

Intelligent, haunting and just as politically relevant as when it was first published, "Dance of the Dead" is a film to be remembered. Also starring Robert Englund as The Doom Room's MC.

Director: Tobe Hooper
Cast: Robert Englund, Jessica Lowndes, Jonathan Tucker
