Sure, a couple of funny lines in "Raving Maniac" but most of it is way too clumsy to ever make his point artfully.<br /><br />One thing that is interesting about the plot of "Back from the Dead" is how Lee manages to combine New Testament Satan-phobia with Old Testament judgment structure ("if you can find one person...").
