Horror Classics, Vol. 1: White Zombie

Author: Victor Halperin
Bela Lugosi followed up his star-making role in Dracula with this ambitious low-budget horror film from the Halperin brothers. White Zombie drips with atmosphere from the opening in a world of almost perpetual night, where hollow-eyed zombies lumber through the sugar mill and the ghostly town is eerily bereft of living souls. This first zombie movie is also one of the best, with Lugosi’s archly sinister performance dominating the film (thankfully obscuring a lot of overacting by supporting players), and astounding sets and gorgeous matte paintings creating a wondrous sense of poetic doom.

Shaun of the Dead

Author: Edgar Wright
Brain-hungry zombies shamble through the streets of London, but all unambitious electronics salesman Shaun cares about is his girlfriend Liz, who just dumped him. With the help of his slacker roommate Ed, Shaun fights his way across town to rescue Liz. Many zombie movies are comedies by accident, but Shaun of the Dead is deliberately and brilliantly funny, while still delivering a few delicious jolts of fear.
