War of the Zombies (1964)

When evil sorcerer Aderbal (John Drew Barrymore) invokes the power of a sinister three-eyed goddess to raise an invulnerable zombie army, only one man has the courage (and biceps) to stop him: centurion Gaius (Ettore Mani). This sword-and-sandal epic set in ancient Rome has it all: swords! sandals! beautiful women! bare-chested men! And, of course, zombies. Does this zombie army live up to the hype? There's only one way to find out: join the Zombie Strains crew on an odyssey into the Italian peplum genre.SHOW NOTES:Movie poster artist Reynold Brown1961 New York Times article on the art of dubbing in Italian films.With Gorley and Rust episode on Rosemary's Baby, John referenced.Theme music composed by Neil Dube.www.pond5.comContact:zombiestrainspodcast@gmail.comwww.zombiestrainspodcast.comFollow us onAndy's Substack "Fortress of Regret"InstagramFacebook
