Yet another spooky season is approaching, so John and Jason put on their plantation boots and travel to the Caribbean in the 1940s to walk with zombies -- and talking about I Walked with a Zombie, the brilliant and underrated 1943 supernatural horror film by Jacquess Tourneour. They discuss the romance, the characters, the racial undertones, and the excellent visual aesthetic of the film.

Enjoy!
