Don't Open the Window

Does anybody have a copy of this film under the title, Don't Open the Window?

I saw this movie in 1975 at the 270 Drive-In with a couple of high school buddies. At the time it was being shown under the Don't Open the Window title. The very next night we went back to see it again with three carloads of neighborhood kids. This pigrimage continued for four nights straight until the marquis changed at the theatre. After this, the film seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. I have been waiting for thirty years for it to resurface and now it has under the 'sleeping corpses' title. Having seen the film over thirty years ago and still being able to remember many of the details of the film, I can say that it's a fantastic zombie flick under any title and one that shouldn't be missed. I'm sending for my DVD copy today.

Also saw this at the drive in with the DONT OPEN THE WINDOW title.

I seem to recall the poster saying:

DONT OPEN THE WINDOW, WHATEVERS OUTSIDE WILL WAIT.

Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that.

After some initial scattered showings as "Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue" in 1975/1976 it was retitled "Don't Open the Window" and was played quite a bit from 1976-1984. For some reason though a VHS release never materialized in the US and I don't think that title was used for any foreign home video. We didn't get one until the DVD under its 'real' title "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie". The "Don't Open the Window" cut may not exist anymore unless some of the US theatrical prints survive.

Am I the only one who thinks all three names kinda suck?
