Zombies On Broadway (1945)

Posted on November 29, 2015 by vintage45

Started out like it would be a guilty pleasure but around the halfway point the slapstick and sight gags got to be too much. Bela is a mad scientist trying to use science to duplicate what the island natives can … Continue reading →
