This value-for-money Zombie Double Feature is billed as "Flesh Creepers, Volume 1", and offers a double billing of George A Romeros classic Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Steve Sekelys rather less fondly remembered Revenge of the Zombies (1943). Night of the Living Dead is a masterpiece, but it has also slipped through a copyright loophole which means it has been issued on video and DVD by a great many distributors in as many variant versions. This one isnt ruined by colorisation or dodgy new footage as a couple of rival releases are, but it is soft-looking print, free of censor cuts but very washed-out-looking. The background notes inexcusably get the date of the film wrong, crassly tagging it "think Blair Witch 1964", and mention the existence of extras-filled special DVD editions, which rather rubs in the fact that this no-frills effort has none of the commentaries or documentaries found on other releases. Revenge of the Zombies is a sluggish hour-long wartime B-picture, with John Carradine underplaying for once as a Nazi scientist creating an army of zombies (ie: a handful of shuffling extras) in the Louisiana swamplands. Comedy relief Mantan Moreland has the best moments and the trudging-around-the-backlot zombies ("things walkin aint got no business to be walkin") are fun, but it isnt especially good of its kind. On the DVD: The Zombie Double Feature presents both films in "horrorscope", which means letterboxing and blurry image. The only extra is a list-like essay about the habits of flesh-eating zombies in Romero films.--Kim Newman

Track Of The Vampire: An artist in Venice California named Antonio Sordi (William Campbell) becomes convinced he is the descendant of 15th century vampires in this strange film partially directed by Jack Hill (Spider Baby Foxy Brown). It's an interesting surreal piece of low-budget exploitation as Sordi murders women drains them of their blood and then dips them in wax and paints them. Marissa Mathes plays one of the victims as does Sandra Knight. Lori Saunders is a ballerina whom Sordi becomes convinced is the reincarnation of his ancestor's dead lover. If the film seems at times bizarre it may be because Hill centered it around footage from a 1963 Yugoslavian picture called Operation Titian to which he then added English-speaking scenes. After conflicts with producer Roger Corman Hill left the film and fellow Corman protegee Stephanie Rothman completed the work and added the vampire element. Regardless of authorship and some disjointed elements the film maintains an eerie tone and should find a place in the hearts of low budget horror fans. Corman regulars Jonathan Haze and Sid Haig also appear in supporting roles. Nightmare Castle: A jealous mad scientist savagely murders his faithless wife and her lover. Using the dead couple's blood he conducts a bizarre experiement on rejuvenation. To complete his revenge he then seeks to marry his late wife's sister after realizing that she has been left with the inheritance. In time the perturbed ghosts of the late lovers appear and seek their own revenge.
