Episode 116 - White Zombie (1932)
Manage episode 513475626 series 3460652
In this hypnotic episode of Guess What? You're Wrong!, we're shambling into the 1932 pre-Code classic White Zombie—the first true zombie flick! I am going to look at Bela Lugosi's chilling role as voodoo overlord "Murder" Legendre, who turns a Haitian honeymoon into a nightmare of jealousy, black magic, and undead slaves. Inspired by William Seabrook's The Magic Island, this indie gem (shot in 11 days on a $50K budget) features Lugosi commanding recycled Universal sets with his piercing stare.
