Vengeance of the Zombies (Spanish: La rebelión de las muertas/ Rebellion of the Dead Women) is a 1972 Spanish horror film directed by León Klimovsky and starring Paul Naschy, Mirta Miller, Vic Winner and Aurora de Alba. The film was shot in July 1972, but was only theatrically released in Spain (as La rebelión de las muertas) in June 1973. It was shown in Italy as La Vendetta dei Morti Viventi. The film was shown in Germany over the years under three different titles....Rebellion of the Living Dead (Feb. 1974 German release title), Invocation of the Devil (April 1974 German re-release title to compete with The Exorcist) and Blood Lust of the Zombies (1980 German re-release title to compete with Dawn of the Dead).
It was released in the U.S. as Vengeance of the Zombies in December 1973, on a double bill with another Klimovsky film The Dracula Saga. It was famously re-released in the U.S. later in 1980 under the title Walk of the Dead, with distributor Independent Artists adding a "Shock Notice" gimmick to the prints wherein inserted red warning flashes preceded each gory murder. It was reviewed as a "Dog of the Week" by Roger Ebert on Sneak Previews under that latter release version in the fall of 1980.
It is today available on DVD in its original uncut version as Vengeance of the Zombies.
