I have been a fan of this terrible film since high school. Basically every character in the movie is named after a horror icon (Raimi, Savini, Romero, Etc). The extras on the DVD include a documentary that illustrated just how difficult it is to make a terrible horror film when you're a talentless idiot with no money or resources but lots of ambition and time.
Also contains the single best sound effect known to man: the noise a zombie makes while riding on the hood of a 1980's domestic sedan. I can't describe the sound; you'll just have to watch the movie.
