After the Leave-it-to-Beaver-esque Cates family inherits the old mansion of a deranged stage actor from a dead uncle, they happily decide to pack up and move, sight unseen. Upon arrival they find a gang of street-punks squatting at the deserted (and possibly haunted) house, and they don’t want to leave.
Tonally all over the place, TWICE DEAD ping-pongs from slapstick comedy to gross-out horror to unrequited teen-romance and back again. Features a chase scene with a hearse, exploding mirrors, suicide by cop, and at least one mid-orgasm death by electrocution.
