115 Valley of the Zombies ( 1946 )

This  is  another  film  that's  more  detective  yarn  than  supernatural  chiller  and  the  title  is  seriously  misleading. The  valley  is  only  mentioned  in  passing ; none  of  the  action  takes  place  there  and  the  single  villain  is  more  of  a  vampire  than  a  zombie. Having  said  that it  is  entertaining  enough  with  a  smart  script  and  a  splendid  villain  in  murderous  undertaker  Osmund  Monks ( Ian  Keith ).

Lorna  Gray  ( as  Susan  Drake )

Sex : No

Death : Survives

With  her  smart  one  liners  Lorna  is  more  comic  relief  than  damsel  in  distress  in  this  one.
