The Plague of the Zombies 1966
For my money, this is one of the best movies to come from Hammer! It's got a pretty fun mystery (more mysterious to the characters than the audience) that leads to voodoo and evil rich people.

Is it bad that I think this might be my ultimate romantic fantasy? Guy meets girl. They fall in love. Guy asks girl to help him take down hordes of undead college dudes with heads full of space slugs. In case you missed it, almost…
