Dante's output includes the films Piranha (1978), The Howling (1981), Explorers (1985), Innerspace (1987), The 'Burbs (1989), Matinee (1993), Small Soldiers (1998), and Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003). His work for television and cable include the social satire The Second Civil War (1997), episodes of the anthology series Masters of Horror ("Homecoming" and "The Screwfly Solution") and Amazing Stories, as well as Police Squad! and Hawaii Five-0.

Dinosaurs of the Dead

A throwback to cheesy 80's horror movies, Harryhausen stop-motion films, and dinosaur/monster flicks. In the cold of October, a strange and deadliest phenomenon occurs when large fossilized dinosaurs rise from their grave to eat the living. Danger escalates as humans bitten by the undead dinos begin to mutate into half-human, half-reptile abominations! A rag tag group of survivors must head over to a secret base and find the one weapon that can destroy them, giant mechanical dinosaurs!
