Happy Samhain, everyone. White Zombie is on TCM at this moment. This is one day of the year when I'll watch TCM all day. As to the film, however, surely the atmosphere Halperin created goes a long way to explaining its marvelous effect on the viewer. Hell, I even get a kick out of the occasional sound pops. The mill scene is justly unsettling- but it is, of course, Lugosi who makes this film one of his finest.
