Movies from the “golden age” of black and white films (approximately the 1930’s through the 1950’s) almost invariably contain well-written dialogue and strikingly subtle humor, making them a favorite among many fans of cinema. The horror movies of this more subtle period in film history are therefore of a cerebral nature, primarily relying on the viewer’s imagination to generate the true sense of horror that modern movies generate through more visual means. It is these oft-ignored horror movies that will be the focus of a series of articles detailing the reasons why true fans of horror movies should rediscover these films. King of the Zombies (Monogram Pictures, 1941) is the first movie in this series.
King of the Zombies made its debut during World War II. The entire world’s consciousness was focused on the war resulting in a wide range of movies with at least a passing reference to the global conflict.
