White Zombie (1932)

American pre-Code horror.

A young man turns to a witch doctor to lure the woman he loves away from her fiancé, but instead the witch doctor betrays the man and turns her into his zombie slave.

White Zombie is considered the first feature length zombie film, which also gave birth to cinematic voodoo.

White Zombie was filmed in eleven days in March 1932.

Rob Zombie named his first heavy metal band, “White Zombie”, after this movie.
