For years the town has harbored a dark secret, one that the town sheriff has just stumbled across. It seems that a number of strangers who have crossed through Potters Bluff have not only been brutally murdered, but have turned up in town as locals after being killed. Sure that there must be some explanation, the sheriff and the town mortician try to uncover the mystery and find something more shocking than they could have imagined. [More]

  • Something very strange is happening in the quiet coastal town of Potters Bluff, where tourists and transients are warmly welcomed...then brutally murdered. But even more shocking is when these slain strangers suddenly appear as normal, friendly citizens around town. Now the local Sheriff (James Farantino) and an eccentric mortician ( Oscar winner Jack Albertson) must uncover the horrific secret of a community where some terrifying traditions are alive as well...and no one is ever really DEAD & BURIED.
