Kurt Siedmach was a German-born novelist, screenwriter and director. He left Germany for first the UK and then the US due to concerns over rising anti-Semitism under the Nazis. His brother Robert Sienek was a director known for 1946's The Killers and The Spiral Staircase among others. I Walked with a Zombie is also the name and pretty much the entire lyrical content of another song by Rocky Erickson on the album The Evil One.
