Revenge of the Dead

About the production

This film entry contains significant factual errors. Edward D. Wood Jr. passed away in December 1978, making a 1984 directorial credit impossible. The listed cast members Kenne Duncan (died 1975) and Duke Moore (died 1976) were also deceased by 1984. This may be a case of mistaken identity or database confusion with Wood's actual films from the 1950s.
