So I was watching Delamorte Delamore last night and was perusing the IMDb messege boards and came across this interesting observation on zombies
and thought I would share.

Any thoughts?

Haitian Penal Code:

Article 249. It shall also be qualified as attempted murder the employment which may be made against any person of substances which, without causing actual death, produce a lethargic coma more or less prolonged. If, after the person had been buried, the act shall be considered murder no matter what result follows.

The methods of creating and controlling zombies vary among bokors. Some bokors use blood and hair from their victims in conjunction with voodoo dolls to zombify their victims. Others methods of zombification involve a specially prepared concoction of mystical herbs, in addition to human and animal parts (sometimes called â€œcoup padreâ€

The Wes Craven flick, Serpent and the Rainbow, tried to follow the "scientific / medical" zombie rationale for the first half of the movie before saying "fuck it" and going all magical. Needless to say, this is where the movie began to suck too. Too bad as the scientific / medical angle was pretty neat.

And BTW, where did you get Delamorte Delamore? I have a VHS copy of Cemetery Man, but so far as I know, it is only available on DVD in Europe on PAL format. It's a favorite.
