Revenge of the Zombies1943
“DEAD MEN CAN'T DIE... but live to follow a mad-man's will!”
Directed by Steve Sekely
The premise
When Dr. Von Altermann's wife Lila dies mysteriously at his spooky mansion her relations suspect murder. They also suspect the doctor is turning her into a zombie, to join the army of living dead he hopes to devote to the Nazi cause. However, Lila, though dead, has developed a will of her own.
Horror Vault's take
Deep in the Louisiana bayou, a sinister doctor with Nazi allegiances harbors dark ambitions for the recently deceased — including his own wife. When her suspicious relatives arrive at his gloomy mansion, they begin to uncover the horrifying truth behind his experiments with the walking dead. This low-budget 1943 chiller blends wartime propaganda anxieties with classic zombie mythology, anchored by a memorably menacing turn from John Carradine.
