"The dead of night changed the lives of many... and ended the lives of some."

Aug 29 1974 PG 1h 28m
Drama, Horror, Thriller

Grief-stricken suburban parents refuse to accept the news that their son Andy has been killed in Vietnam, but when he returns home soon after, something may be horribly wrong.

Plot

A young Soldier is killed in the line of duty in Vietnam. That same night, the soldier returns home, brought back by his Mother's wishes that he "Don't Die"! Upon his Return, Andy sits in his room, refusing to see his friends or family, venturing out only at night. The Vampiric horror is secondary to the terror that comes from the disintegration of a typical American family.
