Dead Dudes in the House (also known as The House on Tombstone Hill) is a 1991 independent horror film written and directed by James Riffel and distributed by Troma Entertainment.
The film follows a group of teenagers who travel up to a dilapidated house for some fixing up. Unbeknownst to them, the house is occupied by a murderous old woman and her sultry daughter, who proceed to pick the teens off one by one.
For reasons unknown, Troma advertises the characters in Dead Dudes as "hip-hop teens", as evidenced by the actors on the video cover (who do not appear in the movie), despite the fact that there is no reference to hip-hop of any kind throughout the entire movie.
According to Troma president Lloyd Kaufman's book All I Needed To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger, Troma fans consider Dead Dudes in the House to be one of the company's unsung masterpieces.
