Don Drake (George Hamilton) promises his doomed brother, on death row that he will find the person responsible for his wife's murder. Don's search takes him into the world of dance marathons, where his brother had been a regular. He meets a man named Moss (Ray Milland), whom he will later approach for assistance. In spite of warnings by a mysterious woman, named Vera Lavalle (Linda Crystal), Drake persists in his search, leading to his seeing his now-deceased brother up and walking around!
This leads Don into a nightmare realm he never knew existed. His next stop is a funeral home, where he meets his first reanimated corpse. Some unseen overlord, named Varek speaks through and controls these formerly-living automatons. The deeper Drake digs, the weirder and more dangerous it all becomes.
THE DEAD DON'T DIE features some wonderful living dead moments. Director Curtis Harrington makes the best of the network television medium, creating a macabre gem. Co-stars Ralph Meeker (THE NIGHT STALKER) as Lt. Reardon, and Reggie Nalder (SALEM'S LOT) as Perdido, the most awesome zombie of the bunch!
Watch for Yvette Vickers (ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES) as a Moss interviewee named Miss Adrian!...
