White Zombie

The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Oct 6, 2014

Horror movies can be scary in many different ways.  Some are full of gruesome deaths.  Others take us into a paranormal scenario our minds can’t completely comprehend or believe.  Still, others are just plain creepy and make our skin crawl in wonderfully horrible ways.  The pre-code era’s read more

White Zombie (1932)

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Jan 8, 2013

White Zombie receives the distinction of being the first zombie movie ever made. It does introduce zombies differently from what we know today, but the entire film is an effective example of atmospheric horror. Bela Lugosi plays a more murderous character, conveniently named Murder Legendre, than he read more

White Zombie (1932, Victor Halperin)

The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 3, 2010

For a while, I almost thought White Zombie was going to feature a good Bela Lugosi performance. It does not. However, it does feature one of the best Bela Lugosi performances I’ve ever seen. He plays a zombie master who controls his helpless zombies (who mostly do manual labor for Lugosi at h read more
