Dead Men Walk

"Dead Men Walk" is a 1943 horror film directed by Sam Newfield and the stars includes George Zucco, Mary Carlisle and Nedrick Young. 

After the death of his twin brother, a doctor gets rid of all of his books relating to the occult. Yet his brother's loyal servant carries the coffin into a secret location, and the dead man wakes up. A curious vampire film with a familiar story, but the difference here is that this undead creature casts a shadow! The niece of the doctor becomes mysteriously unwell and there are some bite marks on her neck. Something isn't right, but we the audience know!

The actor playing the doctor also plays the vampire, but to tell them apart, the doctor wears glasses. The film was made in just six days! They made the vampire here like a ghost with scenes of him vanishing through walls and looking transparent. Actress and blonde WAMPAS Baby Star Mary Carlisle didn't make anymore films after doing this one. She married Englishman James Blakeley who worked in television. Actor Dwight Frye, who appears in this film, died the year the film was officially released. George Zucco appears in many more horror films. 

I rate this low lit film 3/10.
