The House by the Cemetery

Movie • 1981 • Horror  

Report
A young family moves from their cramped New York City apartment to a spacious new home in New England. But his is no ordinary house in the country: the previous owner was the deranged Dr. Freudstein, whose monstrous human experiments have left a legacy of bloody mayhem. Now, someone - or something - is alive in the basement, and home sweet home is about to become a horrific hell on earth.

Not a real animal, obviously a fake one. A bat bites the husband on the hand and refuses to let go, prompting him to stab it to death until it dies.

One before the movie starts, and another presumably dies at the end since he becomes a ghost? It's not clear.

Both of Bob's parents die. His father's throat is torn out by Dr. Freudstein. His mother's death is unknown, but she may have been strangled.

Given that it's a Fulci film, there is plenty of practical gore effects. Some notable examples include the nanny having her throat repeatedly slashed with a kitchen knife and a mannequins head falling off that oozes blood.
