Date Sold 10/4/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 13 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Revolt of the Zombies, the 1936 Victor Halperin World War I (WWI) romantic love triangle zombie fantasy horror thriller ("Weirdest love story in 200 years"; a bizarre story that starts out on the French-Austrian front in World War I, and a soldier finds an Asian priest with the secret of turning men into zombies, and they imprison the priest, and before he dies, the man thinks he gets the secret, but it leads him to Angkor in Cambodia, where he finds a hidden temple where he actually does get the secret, and while this has been going on, his girlfriend has turned to another man, and he turns hundreds of Cambodians into zombies, and uses them to force his girlfriend to marry him, and he plans on conquering the world, but when he realizes that his girlfriend doesn't love him, he becomes depressed and his zombies are overthrown and he is killed!) starring Dorothy Stone, Dean Jagger, Robert Noland, Carl Stockdale, Roy D'Arcy, George Cleveland, "and a Big Cast". Note that this movie originally was called "Revolt of the Demons", but because of the great success of "White Zombie" in 1932, the title was changed to "Revolt of the Zombies", and it was intended as a sort of sequel to the earlier movie, which was also directed by Halperin. Part of the movie was filmed on location in Angkor, which was the ruins of a lost Cambodian civilization (the movie "Forbidden Adventure in Angkor" was filmed the same year). There was a lawsuit over the title by Sherman S. Krellberg's Amusement Securities Corp, who had bought the rights to White Zombie, but he lost, and it was released with the Revolt of the Zombies title. The movie had a major archaeological expert as a technical adviser! Note that there are frequent images of zombie eyes superimposed over the screen, and director Halperin used Bela Lugosi's eyes from White Zombie for those images! Finally, it sure seems likely that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were inspired by this movie when they created Raiders of the Lost Ark, because it has several "borrowed" elements (there is a search for a secret that can destroy the world, and the action shifts from one remote location to another, etc.)!

In the past, we have only auctioned two individual stills from this movie, but now we have been consigned this great lot of 13 different stills, and they are all 1936 originals! SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 13 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills. Condition: very good to fine. A few of the stills have pinholes in the corners or some minor border wear, but overall, they are in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
