I was a kid during the 50s and thought these movies were great. In the 60s, I was a teen and realized just how campy these films were, but I still enjoyed them. I am in my 70s now, and these are just pure nostalgia.
I can remember as an 11 year old kid watching this on a weekend night at a place my mother was watching three kid. This was 50 years ago! A great memory I had. Watching it now I can see the acting and scenes are ridiculous. Ahhh would love to go back to that time!
I saw it the first time today and i think it's a very charming movie of its era. I would have loved it as a kid as well, even though I grew up in the 80s. :)
That scuba diving gear looks like it's a 100 years old; lol I love these classic thrillers from the 50's - 70's I think their better than the horror movies released today in the theaters.
Let’s get our terminology straight: SCUBA is an acronym for “Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”. That means an air tank. What you see here is a hard-hat diver, and there’s still call for them for industrial underwater work. A hard-hat diver in the 1950s is not unreasonable.
Loved this, great movie. It's been so long I'd forgotten most of it. Great Saturday movie, just like when I was a kid in the 70's. Love the old horror movies.
Holy mackerel. This is one of the best of the worst with the good sense to pack delicate negligee in order to nocturnally run around the jungles of a remote African country with a name that sounds like it's in the South Pacific. Can't decide if the movie was weirder than me actually watching it. Wonderful stuff!!
Allison Hayes was in a bunch of them back in the 50s and early 60s ... "The Disembodied" , "The Hypnotic Eye" , "The Crawling Hand" and more ... ohh let's not forget the classic "Attack of the 50 foot woman" 👌🏻
According to what I read about Allison Hayes, in the early 1960's, she was taking a calcium or vitamin D supplement prescribed by her doctor. The problem was that the supplement contained lead. She continued taking the supplement for years unaware that it contained lead. She gradually got sicker and sicker over the years as the cause of what was making her sick remained unknown. Eventually, it was discovered that the supplement contained lead. She was taken off of it but after many years of ingesting this supplement containing lead, serious and severe damage had already occurred. She sued her doctor, and or the manufacturer, but settled out of court for an amount that was relatively small. She was dying and I'm sure that had a role in her taking the settlement. What a shame. A young, beautiful and talented actress not only lost her career but her life due to the negligence of others.
Pat Henderson she could at any time asked for a second or third opinion from another doctor, even back then there were good and bad doctors. So it was partially her fault, if i double on medication check it out. Lead would have come out as being in the Vitamin D supplement.
Excellent documentary. My uncle was Engineman First Class on that steamer. My aunt said he woke up screaming every night until he passed. Thanks for posting.
Edward L. Cahn was a prolific b movie director , with more than 120 films & television credits under his belt , sadly he passed away in 1963 at a young 64 years .... may he R.I.P.
thanks for this one. with a title like this i was expecting it to be a pretty awful film. turns out i was wrong and it was a pretty solid film. thanks for the share.
I like that under the title credits there's a picture of the zombies in silhouette which looks like it could have been clearly taken from the pages of the Walking Dead graphic novels nearly 50 years later... Then they even say the term Walking Dead in the opening historical context writing. Makes you wonder if a young Kirkman saw this movie and got inspired years later! That or he saw the Karloff film The Walking Dead from 1936...
💎💀 Great story and very well made for it's time , the scenes with the zombies under water were really good, and as they were all coming onto the boat was creepy, on the whole better than I thought it would be. Love to see a remake, but they'd have to make it more supernatural otherwise it would be blood and gore zombies and it wouldn't work with the storyline. Thanks never seen this film before.
Vi esta película allá por 1967 cuando nuestras tv (llamadas "cajas bobas") solo tenían 4 o 5 canales y la imagen en B/N ...Lo cual a la edad que tenía entonces me llego a impactar mucho....la secuencia que mas recuerdo (vaya a saberse por que) es la escena donde el buzo va a buscar el tesoro pero se encuentra a los zombies debajo del océano....
Allison Hayes ("Attack of the 50 Foot Woman," "Gunslinger") Ray Corrigan ("The Undersea Kingdom"), and Gene Roth ("Attack of the Giant Leeches")... I know what I'm watchin' tonight! =) And it's got Morris Ankrum ("Rocketship X-M," "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers," "The Giant Claw") too!
JOHN CARPENTER'S THE FOG is definitely indebted to this; with the sunken treasure and the undead crew guarding it. an hour and 2 minutes . . . B, C, and Z-grade movies were double and triple features back then at The "Bijou" type Theaters old movie palaces.
Another old Crypt that's been distributed . I've said it before and I'll say it again . This is twice now that I've come across another Zombie movie that I've missed over my years . What the heck ..... That's the old house and gardens that was used for the original " Fantasy Island " with Ricardo Montalban and Herve Villechaize .
Not the greatest zombie film ever but it had it's moments, the scene with Allison Hayes on the bed surrounded by candles was quite effective and the zombies were different. Maybe someone should remake it. Thanks for posting.
The grandmother in this movie played the exact same character I think wearing the same cloths in "The Atomic Brain". In the The Atomic Brain movies though she got to play a really evil badguy roll.
I remember watching this in 1966 as a tot, and the highlight to me was that zombie with the strip shirt. I see nothing but darkness in this black and white.
I missed this one as a kid. It was always on after my bedtime or when I had a Scouts activity or something. Edward L. Cahn also directed "The She Creature" in 1956, which is an excellent low budget horror film, better than this one, although, so far, it's fun and campy (I'm watchin' it for the first time as I type this).
I thought it would have been interesting walking around NY city with those Zombies going right through everything and everybody! Keep them(diamonds)! Chuck Hicks playing one of the Zombies!
That's crazy that they are letting that old lady walk around all over that fancy house with that Lucifer stick! That thing was flaming like almost to the ceiling! Lol (they must have put a ton of phosphorus in that one)
with the knowledge that Marjorie Eaton was the Emperor in StarWars V TESB(original), seeing her with a black cloak and a cane, i cannot see her loose from that role ... ; )
I don't know how I never saw this or even that you posted at 9 years ago and I haven't I just downloaded it I can't wait till I can watch it. I'm sure I'll comment when I do I'm sure I will like it
The old lady played by Marjorie Eaton was the original Evil Emperor Palpatine in The Empire Strikes Back. Of course she wore a facial mask/prosthesis and they did something with special effects so she would have chimpanzee eyes.
She also played the Emperor in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." She was heavily made up of course. Male actor Clive Revill did the voice over. And for what it's worth, she was 79 when that film was released!
She was an accomplished painter as well , she made some very nice looking paintings during her time ...., I fondly remember Marjorie Eaton on the classic flick "Night Tide" with Dennis Hopper 👌🏻
00:45 I missed this one as a kid! Note this narrative and poster. WOW! I wonder if: (1) Rod Serling's TV "Twilight Zone" was influenced by this passage and also titled his show from a line in it? This flick is 1957 and Serling's "Twilight Zone started in 1959. I never knew the phrase for TV/movie was used before his show. Now I know better. Here we see there is a line a between life and death and Serling mentions between light and shadows and dimensions, etc. (2) Another TV show may have been inspired by a line from this passage. "The Walking Dead" ..2010. (3) Note the poster above and the theme of the movie. If any here saw John Carpenter's 1980 "The Fog," the shadowy Zs above reminds me so much of that flick. In that flick sailors too were killed by the locals so that the locals could be enriched by gold. The sailors came back looking for revenge in that flick. At the end the priest thought he had some gold when he thought the curse was over, but alas it was not to be! It looks the 1980 "The Fog" wasn't bashful about using this poster. All of this may have already been mentioned if there has been anything written about the movie, though I doubt much would have been written. Again, this is the first I've ever heard of this movie so I haven't seen anything on it.
Marjorie Eaton is outstanding as Grandma Peters. Autumn Russell is a babe as Jan Peters. Not a bad old film, a full 59 years old. Good watch. The Walking Dead phrase is used, some 50 years before TWD series. And 2 years before The Twilight Zone would appear, that phrase was used on the movie poster. "In the darkness of an ancient world - on a shore that time has forgotten - there is a twilight zone between life and death. Here dwell those nameless creatures who are condemned to prowl the land eternally - the Walking Dead."
Filme interessante! uma produção de terror, focando humanos transformados em zumbis, de uma forma totalmente diferente do que eu já havia assistido. Eu sou suspeito para falar de obras dessa época. Sou um fã de carteirinha. A única coisa chata, é que não há legendas em português, para entendermos a narrativa por completo. De qualquer forma, estamos de boa! Valeu!
Suas palavras estão corretas. Não podemos entender totalmente o filme se não estiver legendado, mas eu encontrei um canal muito legal chamado "Canal de Filmes" que legenda qualquer filme, e o melhor, quando comentamos e pedimos para traduzir o filme, eles respondem respeitosamente a nós, e eles traduzirão o filme em menos de 24 horas.

Whoa!...Opening scenes in the tramp steamer and the brunette bombshell Mona is doin' some besame mucho hijinks with Capn' Lothario Pleated Pants while hubby, ahem, approves...'Can't you take a friendly little kiss without makin' somethin' out of it'...Hoowhee!...and good ol' Morrie Ankrum wantin' in on some Mona tooth snacks...too.....1957, ya' say?
The grandma in this, Majorie Eaton, is easily the best actor, in fact her talents are wasted here on a movie only good for filler in between car commercials on late night TV. But for some trivia, 22 years after this she was the first person to play Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, albeit only as a hologram and in heavy makeup with a bit of CGI thrown in.
Throughout the movie grandma keeps saying the diamonds must be destroyed ! so at the end of the film she dumps them back in the water where the zombies are ! 🤬
Good Movie. I love These old Horror Flicks.. Used to see a lot on TV when they used to show them.. If Those Dead People mess with Me, Il kill them!!!!!
I was a kid during the 50s and thought these movies were great. In the 60s, I was a teen and realized just how campy these films were, but I still enjoyed them. I am in my 70s now, and these are just pure nostalgia.
They're pretty wild but fun too. Silly things like the graves at the start having the year on them but no names made me chuckle.
I enjoy the camyness. Makes me think of my youth, watching these old movies
Of course the movies range in quality but most of them are at the very least entertaining.
I can remember as an 11 year old kid watching this on a weekend night at a place my mother was watching three kid. This was 50 years ago! A great memory I had. Watching it now I can see the acting and scenes are ridiculous. Ahhh would love to go back to that time!

When were you 11?
I love how films can transport you back in time to your memories
*_We get only one chance to be a kid. Some, like you, have fond memories. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones._*
@@oscarholley891 50 years ago plus an extra 3 = approximately 1970. I'm a little older and saw it in the mid 60s.
This was probably THE best zombie movie in my opinion. Have watched this many times now. Love this classic!
You should get out more.
Yep, and two hot chicks then would be two hot chicks now.
How???
So glad I came across this one. Can't beat these black and white movies under lockdown with the virus as active as it is. 👍👍👍👍👍
I recently bought an old quasar tv and have movies like this play on it on a low volume while the tv sits on a shelf in my home. It’s quite cosy
That scuba diving gear looks like it's a 100 years old; lol I love these classic thrillers from the 50's - 70's I think their better than the horror movies released today in the theaters.
Let’s get our terminology straight: SCUBA is an acronym for “Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”. That means an air tank. What you see here is a hard-hat diver, and there’s still call for them for industrial underwater work.
A hard-hat diver in the 1950s is not unreasonable.
At least they're funny!
Loved this, great movie. It's been so long I'd forgotten most of it. Great Saturday movie, just like when I was a kid in the 70's. Love the old horror movies.
I love the old lady giving her tour of the failed expeditions.
Wow these movies take me back. To the kid watching these on a Sat afternoons❤️
Holy mackerel. This is one of the best of the worst with the good sense to pack delicate negligee in order to nocturnally run around the jungles of a remote African country with a name that sounds like it's in the South Pacific. Can't decide if the movie was weirder than me actually watching it. Wonderful stuff!!

@Becky Loy Great info Becky. Thank you.
A truly sad outcome for Ms. Allison indeed, R. I. P.!!! 🙏
My Mom took arsenic by prescription for about seven years. It does not appear to have either helped or harmed her.
Pat Henderson she could at any time asked for a second or third opinion from another doctor, even back then there were good and bad doctors. So it was partially her fault, if i double on medication check it out. Lead would have come out as being in the Vitamin D supplement.
so what does it have to do with the movie?
i was at my uncle home in Rahway NJ and would watch this show
pretty amazing great stuff vintage and rare.. reminds me of drama class play.... in high school back in the days.. love it lol
i havn't seen chiller theater in a long time i was 10 years old when i saw it last thanks for putting it again.
The guy throwing the candlestick (48:18) at Allison Hayes and it boinking off her head? Made the entire movie. I laughed out loud!
" Boink "
How did the director convince her to do that bit? She carried it off very well.
Me too. Highlight of the movie 😆
I replayed that bit twice as I love the metallic thud it did on Hayes head like she's a Tin Woman!
I can watch it over and over. May need to make a GIF so I can watch it on loop and use it as a meme... 🤣
Cool movie. I enjoyed it. Thanks!
I was nine years old when this was made but I had never seen it. Thank you for posting this old film!
As a kid this was the first Zombie movie I saw before George A. Romero's cult class 'Night of the Living Dead'
Yeah grandma, dumping the diamonds in 6 feet of water off a fishing dock made them irretrievable , utterly destroying their intricate carbon matrix.
thank you
Try again. It's 100' under. Edit. There is that little glitch about destroying diamonds.
Excellent documentary. My uncle was Engineman First Class on that steamer. My aunt said he woke up screaming every night until he passed. Thanks for posting.
Confused..was a true story???
oops. wrong video. I do that sometimes myself. maybe Zombies of Mora Tau Is a Documentary like THEY LIVE is a Documentary. 😆 ❤
Good movie with an interesting story. I didn't realize they still used those diving suits with the hoses in the mid 1950's.
Yeah, me neither I thought they had changed them by that time. Agree it's an interesting story
"Do I look like I'm afraid of zombies" says the man who was thrown like a ragdoll into the wall by one not fifteen minutes previous.

shhhh we’re trying to watch the movie
The new zombie movies today are boring, especially in colour, black and white zombie movies are the best.
No, thanks!
The grandmother in this movie played the exact same character I think wearing the same cloths in "The Atomic Brain". In the The Atomic Brain movies though she got to play a really evil badguy roll.
Marjorie Eaton is outstanding as Grandma Peters.
I thought it was Teresa May
Marjorie Eaton was the original Evil Emperor Palpatine in the 1980 sequel to S W a New Hope. Of course she wore a mask and had a voice-over actor.
I don’t she an acticting credit for her in The Creature with the Atomic Brain. She does have a small part as a fortune-teller in Night Tide.
The candlestick to the forehead at 48:16 is beyond hysterical!!! 🤣🤣🤣
that was a classic
Definitely! I replayed it twice as I love the metallic thud it did on Hayes head like she's a Tin Woman or something!
My favorite parts were when we see the zombies in the mausoleum just sitting around as if they were having a meeting.
Zombies Union Local 53 Union Hall.
I don't know why they're lying in coffins either! Seems the writer got Vamps and Zombies mixed up there.
I went to one of those once. Very good finger foods.
I remember watching this in 1966 as a tot, and the highlight to me was that zombie with the strip shirt. I see nothing but darkness in this black and white.
Alison Hayes was Mrs. Archer in the original Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman.
50 ft ?.......I can imagine the size of her.........quater pounder!.
A lovely lady indeed 😘
HARRY !!! WHERE'S HARRY !? ?!! WHERE'S MY HUSBAND ??!!!!
And I thought "Shockwaves" was the first movie with underwater zombies. How had I never seen this one after all these years?
Yeah Shockwaves copied this one 20 years later. But Zombie Flesh Eaters still has THE best underwater zombie scene hands down. It's pure madness...
@@alib463 Right you are! A zombie taking a bite out of a shark- pure awesomeness!

JED !!!
I thought it would have been interesting walking around NY city with those Zombies going right through everything and everybody! Keep them(diamonds)! Chuck Hicks playing one of the Zombies!
In Zombie Flesh Eaters they do indeed head right for New York...
Loved it!! Thx for sharing this forgotten gem!!
That's crazy that they are letting that old lady walk around all over that fancy house with that Lucifer stick! That thing was flaming like almost to the ceiling! Lol (they must have put a ton of phosphorus in that one)
It’d be fun to see a modern movie with a zombie plot like this
As long as it wasn't another bloody Resident Evil or 28 Days Later...
Why grandma sounds, the entire movie ,like she is singing , reading loud an epic poem or doing some proclamations ? 🤣😅😆😂
What a 1950s classic!
The cab driver at the beginning, played a Russian spy in a 3 stooges short. Kept telling the stooges to, give me that micro-film...
with the knowledge that Marjorie Eaton was the Emperor in StarWars V TESB(original), seeing her with a black cloak and a cane, i cannot see her loose from that role ... ; )
Marjorie Eaton (Grandma Peters) was also Emperor Palpatine in Empire Strikes Back (voice by Clive Revill). And she was terrific in this.
She also played the obnoxious millionaire lady in Monstrosity (aka the Atomic Brain). Her character here is much more sympathetic.
@@donaldpetkus1637 She was excellent in that too.
OMG...at 1:03 we are seeing TWO prescient titles on the screen: "Twilight Zone" and "The Walking Dead" Wow.
Tough ending for Allison Hayes. RIP. She was so so hot at her prime.
Pound, one of my favorite writers......
Indeed! She was smokin'.
I agree wholeheartedly!!! 😍
Just read her bio. Really something. Sad.
She was just 47...
Who let grandma in the house with a TORCH again?!
the driver of the young lady at the beginning ,is the same actor who played the sheriff in the creature feature: Earth vs. the spider.
That's Eugene Stutenroth (Gene Roth). He was killed by a passing car in Pasadena.
Way cool. A couple of fellow loonies in this channel. That's excellent. Eugene Stutenroth/ I know that face. Ya, excellent, Thankx lads.
He is , also played the villain in cowboys,gangsters and three stooges....he seemed to have worked a lot in his career, to bring home the ....bacon.
Good eye my friend, horror/sci fi, escapism at its best!!! 🙏
Oh, to have great movies again.
I don't know how I never saw this or even that you posted at 9 years ago and I haven't I just downloaded it I can't wait till I can watch it. I'm sure I'll comment when I do I'm sure I will like it

Dos pointy bras from the 50's damn.
Good movie 🎬. 🙂👌
Maybe they should have compromised. Gave some of the diamonds to the zombies and kept some for themselves. Seems fair enough to me.
Marjorie Eaton, who played Grandma, was only 58 years old when this was filmed! When she was the evil Mrs. March in the Atomic Brain, she was only 62!
I don't think granny from the Beverly Hillbillies was ancient either, in a land where 58 ain't ancient.
She also played the Emperor in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." She was heavily made up of course. Male actor Clive Revill did the voice over. And for what it's worth, she was 79 when that film was released!
Hello Laura,

Very tricky Ricky!!
Marjorie Eaton is outstanding as Grandma Peters. Autumn Russell is a babe as Jan Peters. Not a bad old film, a full 59 years old. Good watch. The Walking Dead phrase is used, some 50 years before TWD series. And 2 years before The Twilight Zone would appear, that phrase was used on the movie poster. "In the darkness of an ancient world - on a shore that time has forgotten - there is a twilight zone between life and death. Here dwell those nameless creatures who are condemned to prowl the land eternally - the Walking Dead."
I saw this back about 1960 on a triple feature. Great atmospheric filming. Nice "spot" on the Twilight Zone use.
Now that was a costly way of convincing a girl.
The monsters always steal the women who immediately faint as soon as they are picked up.LOL
I always wonder what monsters plan to do with the women. One assumes they were sexually incompatible.
They faint from wild expectation of getting a real good zombied
Those guys aren't so scary !
Pretty good looking clothes on sixty year-old Zombies who also walk underwater.
Well when the Cap't disappeared his clothes stayed. I gotta guess they were a different kind of "stay this way forever" magic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
😆😆
They should look like Davy Jones crew!
Like a happy ending, great movie.

Love it! Great little movie. I wonder if the under water shots were really shot under water?
Now I know where Rod Serling got his "Twilight Zone" idea from ...
The movie poster reference appeared 2 years before TTZ. It would be neat to find out if Serling got the idea from this flick.
I was stunned to see "twilight zone" in the opening text - two years b4 the first Rod Serling episode.
@@robinsandorf6075 Walking Dead reference also.

starts like an updated version of white zombie
Whoa!...Opening scenes in the tramp steamer and the brunette bombshell Mona is doin' some besame mucho hijinks with Capn' Lothario Pleated Pants while hubby, ahem, approves...'Can't you take a friendly little kiss without makin' somethin' out of it'...Hoowhee!...and good ol' Morrie Ankrum wantin' in on some Mona tooth snacks...too.....1957, ya' say?
Thanks for posting this Classic❤
Awesome
Okay, I get it. They’re zombies. They don’t decay or age, but how do their clothes look so good after 60 years.
@48:05 That bed looks a little to cozy for two guys, yes? 🙂
The grandma in this, Majorie Eaton, is easily the best actor, in fact her talents are wasted here on a movie only good for filler in between car commercials on late night TV. But for some trivia, 22 years after this she was the first person to play Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, albeit only as a hologram and in heavy makeup with a bit of CGI thrown in.
Who gives a shit
She also was a successful artist as a photographer and as a painter
Actress!
The 50's was the Golden Age for all things "matinee" scary, creepy, & monsters deluxe. It was all so campy but, boy, do I miss those innocent days.
Never seen this one and I have them all.
*I give this movie 1 thumb pointing left and 1 thumb pointing right, which mean not good, but not bad( : )*
Throughout the movie grandma keeps saying the diamonds must be destroyed ! so at the end of the film she dumps them back in the water where the zombies are ! 🤬
Ending scene "That's What I call an Empty Suit."
Our “hero” looks like a shorter version of Rock Hudson.
Oh, don't say that! THIS guy looks straight.
@@leelarson107 ,,,So did Rock Hudson!

Allison Hayes was also in Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman.
1957...when women were women, and cars were cars....
I spent many years out on the ocean and never put on a stripped shirt.
Good Movie. I love These old Horror Flicks.. Used to see a lot on TV when they used to show them.. If Those Dead People mess with Me, Il kill them!!!!!
The old woman was the best actress/ actor in the movie😊
I liked it👍
Too late, the Dead People are already dead, oh well ...
......I, for one, never leave switchblades around my wife ......
OMG. She could take out an eye with those....
