Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film and the other three horror films that were in the same package were originally supposed to be filmed entirely in Mexico City, Mexico in 1968. At that time, Boris Karloff was suffering from pneumonia and only had half of one lung (both the other half and the other lung had been removed due to cancer) and his doctors had told him not to travel to Mexico City because of the thin air at its high altitude. All of Karloff's scenes for all four of these films were filmed on a soundstage in Hollywood in 1968 as a result.
- Quotes
Anabella Vandenberg: Modern science has shown that alcohol is responsible for ninety-nine point two percent of all the world's sins.
- Crazy creditsIn the closing credits, Boris Karloff is billed twice, once as Damballa and then as Carl van Molder.
- Alternate versionsFor the German DVD version of this film titled "Cult of the Dead", the second scene in it, the one featuring the zombie resurrection, is abridged.

Featured review
Tongolele!...
In ISLE OF THE SNAKE PEOPLE, Boris Karloff plays mysterious plantation owner, Carl Van Molder, who just might be hiding a secret identity. Voodoo cultists cause much mischief, gaining the attention of the new police chief, who vows to pull the plug on their antics once and for all. They don't take kindly to this idea, and terror unfolds.
Considering that Karloff was 80 years old and in ill health during this, he does an admirable job. The movie itself is a ridiculous shambles, but has a certain weird charm.
We're treated to a hoodoo hoedown, zombies, cannibal women feasting upon unwary cops, and the beautiful Tongolele (aka: Yolanda Montes) performing her snake dance. My goodness! Her undulations are enough to convert anyone to the voodoo arts! An exotic dancer in her heyday, and regardless of her age in this film, she casts a powerful spell!
Ahem, so, prepare for some schlock-tastic fun...
