Boris Karloff comes back from the dead in this horror-gangster mashup from the director of Casablanca.

The Walking Dead stars Boris Karloff as a wrongly convicted man who was framed for murder by gangsters and sentenced to death. Despite his innocence, evidence is discovered too late to save him from the electric chair. Sensing an opportunity to test an experimental procedure, a scientist implants his body with an artificial heart, bringing him back to life and allowing him to confront those who framed him. (66 mins., 35mm)

Heather Linville is head of the Library of Congress Moving Image Section.
