Oasis of the Zombies (French: L'Abîme des morts-vivants, lit.'Abyss of the Living Dead') is a 1982 French horror film written and directed by Jesús Franco, starring fr:Manuel Gélin and France Lomay. In it, a young man (Gélin) goes after the fortune seekers who killed his father in search of Nazi gold buried in the Libyan desert, and discovers that it is still guarded by zombified Afrika Korps soldiers. A second version, titled La tumba de los muertos vivientes (lit.'Grave of the Living Dead'), was released the following year in Spain, for which alternate footage was shot.
