Reception
Zombies on Broadway turned into a profit for RKO, which encouraged the studio to re-unite Brown, Carney, Anne Jeffreys and Bela Lugosi for the film Genius at Work in 1946.
The film also featured movie villains: Sheldon Leonard as a former mobster turned nightclub owner and Lugosi as the mad scientist who created the zombies.
