I Walked With a Zombie/The Body Snatcher (DVD, 2005)

This set contains two classic horror films from producer Val Lewton. Released shortly after the film CAT PEOPLE, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE marked another successful collaboration between producer Val Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur. Filled with eerie atmosphere and chilling sets, the film follows a young Canadian nurse named Betsy (Frances Dee) as she travels to a Caribbean Island to treat a plantation manager's sick wife. The nurse finds the island to be inhabited by strange creatures and all kinds of eerie voodoo legends. In THE BODY SNATCHER, a 19th-century Edinburgh doctor relies on grave robber John Grey (Boris Karloff) to provide him with corpses for his experiments. This chilling, atmospheric film features what is arguably one of Karloff's greatest performances as the menacing, murderous Grey.
