Coconutdaddy’s Starlight Monster Movie Madness: Vampyr & King of the Zombies – A Double Feature That’ll Suck You In 🦇🧟♂️
Gather ‘round, my fellow night owls and lovers of all things delightfully weird! Coconutdaddy is back with another Starlight Monster Movie Madness—and this week’s double feature is serving up extra creepy with a side of what-the-heck-did-I-just-watch? 😆
On the menu this time? Vampyr (1932)—an artsy fever dream about bloodsuckers that feels like it escaped from the mind of someone who hadn’t slept in three weeks—and King of the Zombies (1941)—a wartime horror flick that somehow manages to blend voodoo, spies, and an undead butler. (Yes, really.)
🍷 First up: Vampyr (1932) – “Did I Drink Absinthe or Is This Movie Just Like That?”
Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer takes vampire horror and drenches it in pure nightmare fuel. This isn’t your typical fangs-and-capes Dracula deal—oh no, Vampyr is more about unsettling imagery, dream logic, and the feeling that something is very wrong but you don’t know why. (Kind of like when you realize Waffle House is charging extra for eggs. 🥴)
🎭 Highlights include:
🔮 A protagonist who looks like he wandered onto the set by accident and just went with it.
⚰️ A coffin POV shot—because why wouldn’t you want to experience burial firsthand?
😱 A slow, creeping dread that settles in and doesn’t let go.
If you ever wanted to feel like you’re trapped in a haunted painting, this one’s for you!
🧟♂️ Next: King of the Zombies (1941) – “It’s War Time... Let’s Fight Zombies?”
World War II was in full swing, so naturally, Hollywood thought, “You know what we need? A zombie spy thriller with comedy bits.” And thus, King of the Zombies was born.
🎬 What you’re in for:
👀 A plane crash lands on an island because... plot reasons.
🎩 A creepy doctor who’s up to no good (aren’t they always?).
😂 Mantan Moreland stealing the whole dang movie as a wisecracking butler who delivers the best lines.
🧟♂️ Zombies who move at a pace so slow, you could write a novel before they reach you.
It’s weird. It’s kind of racist (because, 1940s Hollywood 🙄). It’s got undead shenanigans. What more could you ask for?
🎟️ Why You NEED to Watch This Double Feature
✔ If you like your horror on the artsy & existential side, Vampyr is your jam.
✔ If you prefer campy, bizarre zombie flicks with WWII espionage, King of the Zombies has your back.
✔ If you’re the kind of person who laughs at weird, old horror movies while appreciating their spooky charm, this double feature is basically made for you.
