Horror Heathens

Episode 13 - Why does he do that thing with his hands?


Listen Later

You kids ready for a deep dive? Long ago, before the time of the Hays code, there was a simple film about a man named "Murder" and his zombie legions. 
In this episode Aisha and Rita discuss 'White Zombie' (1932) starring Bela Lugosi, and its connection to the United States occupation of Haiti, the history of zombies in film, and the origins of Betty Boop. (For real!)
