The Dead One (also known as Blood of the Zombie) is a 1961 American independent horror film written, produced and directed by Barry Mahon. It stars John McKay, Linda Ormond, Monica Davis and Clyde Kelly. The narrative follows two cousins—one a businessman (McKay), the other a woman who practices voodoo (Davis)—who each seek control of their family's Louisiana plantation.
The film's significance is that it is a regional film, one of the first two zombie films to be filmed in color, and was thought to be a lost film before its rediscovery and issuance on DVD, 41 years after it was made.
