King of the Zombies
HUMAN SACRIFICES! SAVAGE TORTURE! VOODOO RITES!
Directed by Jean Yarbrough
Produced by Monogram Pictures, Sterling Productions Inc.
A 1940s horror-comedy that blends slapstick antics with voodoo atmosphere, playing fear and humor off each other through a nervous manservant's misadventures in a spooky mansion.
During World War II, a small plane somewhere over the Caribbean runs low on fuel and is blown off course by a storm. Guided by a faint radio signal, they crash-land on an island. The passenger, his manservant and the pilot take refuge in a mansion owned by a doctor. The quick-witted yet easily-frightened manservant soon becomes convinced the mansion is haunted by zombies and ghosts.
