Happy Halloween!

For my final public domain horror film of this wonderful month, allow me to present to you 1932’s White Zombie.  Starring (and completely dominated) by Bela Lugosi, White Zombie is considered by many to be the first true zombie film.  Watching this film today is an interesting experience if just because these aren’t the zombies that we’re used to.  These are Pre-Romero, old school zombies.  These are Serpent and the Rainbow zombies.  Some of the acting in White Zombie (to be charitable) pretty bad but no matter.  The film’s visuals have a hypnotic, dream-like quality to them and it’s a truly important piece of horror film history.
