I Walked With A Zombie - Production

Production

Producer Val Lewton was forced to use the film's title by RKO executives. Officially, the film was based on an article written by Inez Wallace for American Weekly Magazine. Lewton asked his writers to use Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre for giving the story a narrative structure and to do research on Haitian voodoo practices.

Anna Lee was originally slated for the Frances Dee role, but had to bow out due to another commitment.
