What a rip-off! Those aren't Zombies!


Zombies are the living dead, these are just aliens!

It really wasn't until "Night of the Living Dead" came out in 1968 that zombies were first really defined as we know them now. This movie was made in 1952, 16 years earlier. It was really more about an attention-grabbing title than anything else.

That's neither here nor there. Zombies were still a defined term. They've been known as the walking dead for centuries. They're prominent in the voodoo "religion". The movie White Zombie, made in the 30s, is an example, of true zombies and the fact they were known.

This movie had nothing to do with zombies, and it's not because zombies were unknown. They weren't.
