Grindhouse Releasing and Groovy Doom show some love to the infamous 28th Street Drive-In in St. Petersburg, Florida, showing an amazing 99 cent horror triple-bill: 7 DOORS OF DEATH (aka THE BEYOND, now available from Grindhouse Releasing in an amazing boxed set - the physical media release of the year!), REVENGE OF THE DEAD (aka Zeder), the slasher classic FINAL EXAM! This was in 1984, when Revenge of the Dead was being released. - AndyL.
May 1984, Tampa - "Revenge of the Dead", "7 Doors of Death" and "Final Exam". Those first two movies of course are "Zeder" and "The Beyond" in their US forms - although "Revenge of the Dead" had no actual gore to speak of, it was released "unrated" and promoted as if it was a gut muncher. Meanwhile "7 Doors of Death" actually was a gory film, with the worst of it snipped out to get an R rating in the US.
