New Horror Movies Ep. 032: Dead Man Still Walking - Zombies of Mora Tau (1957) and Invisible Invaders (1959)

For this delightful Ninth Edition of DEAD MAN STILL WALKING, your intrepid host, Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, brings you an Edward L. Cahn zombie double feature of Zombies of Mora Tau (1957) and Invisible Invaders (1959), a short film. One of these films Dr. Bishop deems a legit zombie flick and the other he calls “zombie-like.” But both are important to the history of zombie cinema because one film may contain the first use of the phrase “The Walking Dead,” as well as what might be the first screen appearance of the aquatic zombie. The other film was most likely used by George Romero as a visual reference for the way zombies move. Dr. Bishop answers his “Is it a zombie?” question for both films, and he also makes an important distinction about the Deadites from “The Evil Dead.” Don’t miss it!
