The Undertaker (also released as Death Merchant)[citation needed] is a 1988 American slasher film directed by Franco Steffanino and starring Joe Spinell. The film was completed in November 1988,[1] but was never released for the public and existed only in an incomplete form. The Undertaker was later reedited for a DVD release by Code Red in 2010 and a Blu-ray release by Vinegar Syndrome in 2016. The film is considered a cult classic, due in part to both Joe Spinell's involvement and its troubled production. This was Joe Spinell's last film before his premature death in 1989.
