This 1980’s Horror Gem directed by (John Carl Buechler) Cellar
Dweller starts off “30 years ago”, when a young comic artist Colin
Childress (Jeffery Combs) is working on a piece of horror art work for a comic.
He takes his references for his story from a necronomicon. After looking for dark passages and possible séances and saying a few
incantations and inscribing his artwork, he introduces “The Beast”. Everything he’s written in his comic has
come true. As he keeps writing and drawings the comic he can start or stop
something bad from happening. As the beast comes to life, Combs searches for it
ending up in the cellar of the house armed with an axe. After a struggle with
The Beast the necronomicon gets knocked into a chest and sealed. Combs
eventually finds out that he can set the beast on fire, but ends up burning the
entire cellar and dying with the beast. Empire pictures presents, Cellar
Dwellar. As you write your artwork, drawing, comic, it comes true. And
most of the artists have a macabre sense of art. This ensues for an excellent
movie. Then 30 years later, a young striving comic artist Mrs. Briggs (YvonneDe Carlo) a huge fan of Colin Childress work, revives the artist’s work again
not knowing it caused the first fire and was created with the help from the necronomicon found in the chest. Reviving the beast in his
footsteps, joining an artist’s colony of kooky and quirky characters and
striving young artists Cellar Dwellar will eat you out of
house and home in this retro 80s horror movie released by Scream! Factory and can be purchased on Blu-Ray, DVD & Retro VHS by New
Wide Video.
