I Sell the Dead

I Sell the Dead is a 2008 horror comedy, the feature film debut from Irish director Glenn McQuaid. The film is a period horror comedy about grave robbing and stars Dominic Monaghan, Ron Perlman, Larry Fessenden and Angus Scrimm.

Arthur became Willies apprentice following the death of Blakes father, forcing the young man to find a job to support his family. Willie quickly taught him the skills necessary to steal corpses, both from graves as well as more risky locations, such as wakes. The job proved profitable on its face, but both Arthur and Willies ability to make money was severely hampered by the interference of Doctor Quint Angus Scrimm, who frequently blackmailed the two into obtaining corpses for free under threat of notifying the police of their activities. This blackmail continued for numerous years.Willie and Arthurs career changed abruptly when procuring another corpse for Quint. Digging up a corpse buried at a crossroads, the two were confused when they found a garlic wreath around the bodys neck and a wooden stake in its chest. Arthur dismissed these things as superstition, and removed them against Willies protests. Moments later, while the two were clearing their cart, the dead woman rose and walked away. Willie and Arthur attempted to flee, but came across the undead woman, who attacked Arthur. Willie was able to fend her off briefly with a shovel, and when she attacked him he managed to plunge the stake back into her chest, causing her to go immediately limp. Willie and Arthur delivered the staked body to Doctor Quint and departed quickly. The doctor removed the stake, awakening the undead woman, who killed him. ........
