Halloween Reviews Day 19: Curse of the Undead | Directed by Edward Dein (1959)

In a small town out west, an unusual illness has taken hold of some of the young women, who appear to be the only demographic at risk. The illness can be linked to two small marks on the throat, which leads the resident pastor to believe that it’s not an illness at all… it’s something more vampiric. It’s a vampire western! Cowboy hats and cowboy bats battle for the town’s survival with guns, fangs, and lots of liquor!

Eric Fleming’s “Curse of the Undead” coming out on Bluray

Eric Fleming’s 1958 movie “Curse of the Undead” co-starring Michael Pate and Kathleen Crowley (who both guest starred in episodes of Rawhide) is getting a proper release on DVD/Bluray courtesy of KL Studio Classics. And it won’t be the blurry crap copy floating around on rip off ebay DVDs or youtube, this is a newly restored 2K version, with a few extras (trailers and audio commentary from film historian Tom Weaver).

It’s up for pre-order already on KL Studio Classics site and is released October 6th.

This is not the best of Eric’s movies, but it is an interesting one. Besides the obvious ‘Vampire Western’ genre mash-up, which was pretty rare in the 1950s, its origins as a script were also way ahead of its time.

From 50 Westerns From The 50s blog:

“The story goes that writer-director Edward Dein and his wife Mildred wrote a screenplay as a lark — a satire about a gay vampire gunslinger biting the young men of a small Western town. Its title: Eat Me Gently. The Deins passed their gag script around their circle of friends, and it eventually wound up in the hands of Joseph Gershenson. A music supervisor and sometime producer at Universal-International with a list of credits as long as your arm, Gershenson saw a real movie in there somewhere, and the Deins set to work refashioning their screenplay into what would become Curse Of The Undead.”

In terms of the final product, it’s a cheap 1950s B Movie packed full of tropes, cliches and none of the actors finest entries on their resumes but it’s a solidly enjoyable horror-esque romp with some interesting themes.
