Just like last year, we’re celebrating Easter by honoring the most famous zombie in history with a day of zombie movies.
I grabbed the following movies:
White Zombie (1932) – A young man turns to a witch doctor to lure the woman he loves away from her fiance, but instead turns her into a zombie slave. – Woo it’s got Bela Lugosi!
King of the Zombies (1941) – During World War 2, a small plane off the south coast of America is low on fuel and blown off course by a storm. Guided by a faint radio signal, they crashland on an island. The passenger, his manservant and the pilot take refuge in a mansion owned by a doctor. The easily-spooked manservant soon becomes convinced the mansion is haunted by zombies and ghosts. Exploring, the 3 find a voodoo ritual in the cellar, where the doctor is trying to acquire war intelligence by transferring personalities into his zombies.
Nightmare Castle (1965) – A sadistic count tortures and murders his unfaithful wife and her lover, then removes their hearts from their bodies. Years later, the count remarries and the new wife experiences nightmares and hauntings. The ghosts of the slain return to exact their bloody revenge, until their hearts are destroyed.
All three of these are in the public domain and can be downloaded for free over at Archive.org: Movies and Film.
And we’ll probably wrap it up with Shaun of the Dead.
I also need to run out to the store to pick up some Whopper Robin Eggs and Cadbury Creme Eggs.
