Where to Watch The Video Dead
- jackmeatJanuary 16, 2026My quick rating - 4.7/10. An 80's horror flick, I don't believe I have ever heard of? I have to watch and find out. The acting is phenomenal, let me tell you. A supernatural TV is mistakenly delivered to a suburban family instead of a research lab. After the family mysteriously turns up dead, a new family moves in and finds the TV hidden in the basement. Soon, they discover the TV is actually a gateway for the undead. This one was mildly amusing but didn't really stand up well to the test of time for the scares. Would be one to check out for the humor level, and it has the right price for you. (It came out in 1987, btw)
