Valley of the Zombies

Five years earlier, Dr. Rufus Maynard put Ormand Murks into an insane asylum because Murks believed endless blood transfusions would make him immortal. Asylum director Dr. Garland operated on Murks two years later, and Murks died on the operating table. Murks' body is turned over to a brother.

In the present, Murks returns and begins stealing blood from Dr. Maynard's lab. Murks reveals himself to Maynard, telling him that voodoo has kept him alive, and then kills Maynard and his lab assistant, Fred. Cops discover Maynard's half-buried body in a local cemetery. Detectives Blair and Hendricks accuse Maynard's partner, Dr. Terry Evans, and a nurse, Evans' girlfriend Susan Drake, of killing Maynard but have no proof. Discovering a connection between Maynard and Murks, Evans and Drake head to the Murks estate to look for clues. Murks tries trapping them in a mausoleum, but they escape. In the main house, Evans and Drake find the body of Dr. Garland.

Blair and Hendricks arrive, but Garland's body vanishes. Murks kidnaps Drake and takes her to Maynard's office, where he hypnotizes her and has her give him blood transfusions. The cops arrive and shoot Murks before he can order Susan to kill Terry.
