Appearance
The Undead
Directed by Roger Corman, The Undead (1957) is a low-budget science fiction horror film in which a psychiatrist hypnotically regresses a young woman back through her past lives to medieval times. Diana (Pamela Duncan) finds herself living as a condemned witch named Helene, and must choose whether to allow her historical execution to unfold — changing the course of her future lives — or to escape her fate. The film blends time travel, witchcraft, and existential anxiety in characteristically economical Corman fashion.
Made quickly and cheaply for American International Pictures, The Undead was filmed almost entirely on soundstages in Los Angeles, taking advantage of pre-existing sets to keep costs to a minimum.
Location(s)
The Undead was filmed primarily on studio soundstages in Los Angeles, California, with the medieval settings constructed as interior sets rather than on location.
Los Angeles Soundstages, California
The film was made almost entirely on studio soundstages in Los Angeles, with the medieval village, dungeon, and tavern settings constructed as interior sets. Corman's ability to deliver atmospheric, convincing results on extremely limited budgets made creative use of available studio facilities and existing sets.
