Plot
Six friends on a road trip stop for the night at a bed and breakfast in the sleepy town of Lovelock. After a night that leaves both the Inn's owner and chef dead, the gang finds themselves under suspicion by the local Sheriff. But that's only the beginning as nearly all of the town's quirky residents become possessed by an evil spirit and pin down the friends inside the B&B.
Trivia
- Dead and Breakfast being a horror spoof has many references to other zombie/horror movies that appear throughout the film. Some include:
- In the closet were the cast finds a chainsaw a poster of Evil Dead can be seen.
- When the cast finds the dead servant stabbed to death, one of them tries to run in panic but finds he can't, slipping on the excess amounts of gore on the floor. This scene is reminiscent of a similar scene in Peter Jackson's Braindead and is more than likely an homage to that.
- A large amount of Dead and Breakfast was filmed in Livermore, CA, including the title inn.
