| Overview: | DEAD MEN WALK is one of the rare instances of a poverty row company coming up with a vampire story (Universal generally seemed to have the monoply on the undead). George Zucco gets a chance to play both sides of the coin, so to speak, in the dual role of the Clayton brothers.
Dr. Lloyd Clayton is a kindly, respected doctor of a New England town. His twin brother, Elwyn, is an evil man of the occult who comes back from the dead as a vampire. With the help of his hunchbacked servant Zolarr, the monstrous Elwyn begins a new campaign of evil that causes the townspeople to suspect that their beloved doctor may not be the kindly man they thought they knew.
