White Zombie

[ClassicHorror]

I am on a Bela Lugosi spree so I figured I should make this one. This is Bela's second best role apart from Dracula (1931). It is also one of the very first zombie films. The zombies in this are so much different from those in other zombie flicks. These ones are more like minions, and more realistic to what the REAL zombie was.

Back in the early days a woman died. About 6 years later she was brought back to life and was walking around a town like a zombie. This is my favorite type of zombie.

Bela Lugosi also reminds me of Georges Melies in this.

One of the true greats in early horror cinema. Spooky, strange with a very other world quality. One of Bela's best

I always thought this film had alot of courage, just look at the other films of its time and compare them to each other. Huge difference.

I was thinking something similar....less polite, however:mad:

Anyways this is a true classic, with one of the greatest atmospheres in any film. IMHO.

First of all, this is my first post.

I live in Scotland also and bought the same package of those horror films and I got it for 50pence, and most of the other triple horror film DVDs for the same price, they are a blessing, otherwise I would be infuriated at paying £15 for each those films.
I think some people just like them because they are old and have Bela Lugosi in them and ignore the quality and call them classics.
I would also not say that any of them are funny (even though Scared To Death is supposed to be), Invisible Ghost has a nice feeling about it and is entertaining, Scared To Death is the worst Lugosi film I have seen(I can't say that I have saw an expansive amount of his films though). I was pleasently surprised by White Zombie, I think it's better than Dracula, it is the most hansome I have ever seen him look(the moustache and hair is great) and he displays his full charm and the camera positioning complements every movement he makes in it. The zombies in it are pretty good too. The creaking sounds where the zombies are working is great too.
Please tell me if there are any better Lugosi films.

White Zombie is cheap at the local store here on DVD I might have to invest in a copy.

Have you ever seen The Black Cat with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff? It is a very dark film, there is some pretty disturbing images in the movie when you think about it. Very creepy. I always thought it was Lugosi's best film. There is another he was in with Karloff called The Body Snatcher that was also great.

I agree that White Zombie is one of Lugosi's better films.

In The Body Snatcher when bela is torturing boris is a perfect scene.
