The Corpse Eaters
''The Corpse Eaters'' is a Canadian, English-language 1974 horror cult film produced and set in Happy Valley, Sudbury, Ontario. Plot The film begins at a funeral home where the mutilated body of a young man is being prepared. From there, the film shifts to the young man, his sister, and their companions on a wild picnic. They decide on a whim to spend the night in a graveyard where they perform a séance raising the dead. The majority of the action is conveyed through flashbacks and nightmare sequences. Production and exhibition According to Caelum Vatnsdal’s book, ''They Came from Within'', and ''The Corpse Eaters'' was produced in 1973 by a teenaged Zazelenchuk with a meager budget of $36,000 culled from the proceeds of his drive-in located in Sudbury. Because his first and only feature film had such a small budget, Zazelenchuk couldn’t afford his ideal star, John Carradine. Instead, Zazelenchuk brought local theatre performers and high school friends together to make wh ...

Lawrence Zazelenchuk
Lawrence Zazelenchuk was a Canadian film director, screenwriter, film producer and prosthetic makeup artist. He is best known for the 1974 zombie cult film ''The Corpse Eaters''. Life and death Little is known about the man and even less about his films. With savings from his work as a miner at Inco (now Vale Limited), Zazelenchuk purchased the now defunct 69 Drive-In in Sudbury. He financed, wrote, produced, directed and did special makeup effects for a handful of short horror movies photographed on 16mm film with such titles as ''Attack of the Brain Demons'', ''Revenge of the Mummy'', and ''Jami'' (1969), which received an Honorable Mention from the Photographic Society of America's Ten Best of 1969. After the completion of his feature ''The Corpse Eaters'', he sold his drive-in and bought a hotel in Florida before drinking himself to death at the early age of 36. Today, he is considered by many to be a Canadian Herschell Gordon Lewis. The Corpse Eaters According to Caelum Vat ...

Kinsey Institute
The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction (often shortened to The Kinsey Institute) is a research institute at Indiana University. Established in Bloomington, Indiana, in 1947 as a nonprofit, the institute merged with Indiana University in 2016, "abolishing the 1947 independent incorporation absolutely and completely." The institute's mission is "To foster and promote a greater understanding of human sexuality and relationships through research, outreach, education, and historical preservation." Research, graduate training, information services, and the collection and preservation of library, art, and archival materials are main activities carried out by The Kinsey Institute. The institute and Alfred Kinsey himself have been the subject of much controversy. As of July 1, 2019, evolutionary biologist and sex researcher Justin Garcia holds the title of executive director of The Kinsey Institute, previously noted as the institute's research director. Garcia i ...

Canadian Splatter Films
Canadians (french: Canadiens) are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, and e ...

English-language Canadian Films
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots, and then closest related to the Low Saxon and Frisian languages, English is genealogically West Germanic. However, its vocabulary is also distinctively influenced by dialects of France (about 29% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 29%), plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language). Speakers of English are called Anglophones. The earliest forms of English, collectively known as Old English, evolved from a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in the 8th and 9th ...
