Poster for the movie Zombies on Broadway

Zombies on Broadway (RKO, 1945)

Chills and chuckles, with an emphasis on the latter, are both provided by this little programmer, in which two comedians (Alan Carney and Wally Brown) promise to supply a gangster (Sheldon Leonard) with a real zombie for the opening of his new nightclub, the Zombie Hut. Their efforts bring the boys to the island of San Sebastian (previously the locale of RKO’s I Walked with a Zombie, where they tangle with a creepy professor (Bela Lugosi). Will the boys succeed in their quest? Anne Jeffreys contributes to the proceedings as a nightclub singer who gets involved as well.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Movie 567 for 2021.
