Jorge Grau’s cult undead movie, which comes with around a dozen different titles, makes use of striking locations around the Peak District in Derbyshire.
At the beginning of the film the "Modern Antique Shop" that he leaves is right at the northern end of Deansgate, just below Victoria Station and on the same side. He then sets off down Deansgate towards the city centre. There are several more scenes inter cut at this point including Portland Street (Where he turns right to go behind Piccadily Plaza). A shot of the Buses in Piccadily and the Entrance to the old Under Ground Market on Market Street (Where Boots now Stands) He goes down a pre-pedestrianised Market Street past Lewis's (now Primark).
The girl who takes off her coat and runs naked across the road, disrobes on the steps of Manchester Cathedral.
Then he is seen driving back up Deansgate from the far end. There is a very clear shot of him coming out from under a long gone bridge where the Bauer Millet showrooms now are with what is now Atlas Bar in the background and he goes over the lights at the junction with Liverpool Road.
Next shot shows him going around the roundabout next to the Trafford Road swingbridge.
The garage where George’s bike gets knocked over is on the Levens road up in Cumbria,just follow the sign on the film it aint a made up one.
The initial attack is filmed at the Stepping Stones in Dovedale.

The Old Owl is actually 'The Castle' pub/hotel in Castleton, but the film-makers stuck a different name on it.
The entry to the Graveyard is filmed at the bottom of Winnats Pass, west of Castleton (just outside the entrance to one of Castleton's caverns).
The Graveyard attack is Hathersage Church (the graveyard where Little John (of Robin Hood fame) is buried).
The external shots of a hospital is Barnes just outside Manchester in Cheadle.
