Art dealer George (Ray Lovelock) becomes a reluctant travelling companion for Edna (Cristina Galbó) when she accidentally damages his motorcycle at a petrol stop. Detours and tragedies keep them from parting ways in the green countryside of Northern England. Edna claims to have been attacked by a man the locals say is dead. When she gets to her destination she finds that her sister appears to have murdered her photographer-husband but is blaming the killing on a similar zombie fiend. Finding nude photos and George's vaguely pagan-appearing statuette, the bitter local Inspector (Arthur Kennedy) labels Edna and George as a pair as longhair degenerate Satanists. More revivified corpses attack, giving the detective plenty of evidence to support his thinking. George has an alternative theory, but his protests are treated as the ravings of a madman. He must flee both the kill-crazy Inspector and a horde of zombies, as the entire resurrected contents of the Manchester Morgue closes in on him.

A cult favourite from 1974, The Living Dead at the Machester Morgue (Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti) has been digitally restored and will be released on UK DVD on 7th June 2010 by Optimum Home Entertainment at the RRP of £15.99. The only extra is a trailer.

There are also special screenings of the film at The Showroom, Sheffield, on 27th May and Filmbar 70 at The Roxy Bar & Screen, London, 16th June.
