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:

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.

I have it on dvd but its a copy of a dvd...muahahaha I have good friends I guess...

If you have a dvd burner you are welcome to copy it though
