This week we’ve added a small group of material to the archives of Weston Garnett, a screenwriter, novelist and poet, born in Toronto in 1890 who eventually settled in East Sooke, Vancouver Island. A little research on Weston proves interesting: he was the screenwriter for the 1932 film “White Zombie” which among Zombie aficionados is considered to be the first-ever Zombie movie. Unfortunately, the manuscript for “White Zombie” is not part of his archives here at UBC. We do however have manuscripts of several novels, poetry, and one screenplay co-written with Zelda Sears.
