Fiend (1980)

The corpse, who goes by the name of Mr. Longfellow, has to kill to keep his body from deteriorating. He strangles women in the neighborhood and glows red when he's committing these crimes. He spends all his time down in the basement rec room. In the other half of the basement, there is a little area where he keeps a knife in fancy box and slashes photographs of his victims.
Mr. Kender, his next door neighbor, suspects something is off with Longfellow, especially after a little girl is murdered behind their home. When Longfellow needs to kill, he starts looking waxy and his eyelids get all droopy which is yucky.
While the story is ridiculous, the film is actually well done, nicely edited and another good attempt by Don Dohler.
AVP Aliens vs Predator Requiem

The townsfolk don't get any character development, so it's hard to remember anyone's name. But since they're all stereotypes, you can remember them that way. There's the ex-con, sheriff, younger brother, pizza guy, army mom, little girl, asshole jock, and hot chick.
As the slaughter of the townspeople rages on, a small group bands together to try to survive, and must decide whether to follow the Army's instructions to go to the center of town for an evacuation or to head to the hospital in hopes of using their chopper to escape. Guess which is the better idea.
Blood Sisters (1987)

The movie has ghost prostitutes, the couple who decides to have sex in the haunted house, and a geeky girl with glasses straight out of Scooby Doo. Her glasses are knocked off her face at a key moment in the ghost activity and she blindly moves around with her arms outstretched in front of her.

Murder Mansion (1972)

There are numerous flashbacks to events you wont' care about, a creepy lady, her hulking driver, and a twist ending that will generally elicit a response of "oh..."
Final Payback (2001)

Randall goes on the run and becomes involved with his ex-girlfriend who is soon to be married. Randall's only friend, a former junkie, is worked over by a corrupt cop played by Martin Kove. Grieco is very puffy and does not look healthy. He looks nothing like the picture on the cover, and I don't even think the girl on the cover is in the film.
Blood Mania (1970)
Victoria's younger sister Gail, who has a massive bouffant, goes to the county fair with Cooper. Gail is young and vapid. Cooper is old and bulky. They look like father and daughter, not a couple, which makes it a bit creepy.
After an incredibly long, long, long montage of their day, Cooper returns Gail to the house where Victoria witnesses them kissing and goes crazy - thus beginning both the blood and the mania referenced in the title.
