Did You Know?
| Trivia | The zombies in this film more closely resemble the creatures of voodoo legend - i.e., the walking dead who do the bidding of a human master - than the flesh-eating "living dead" popularized by George A. Romero. According to the film, the zombies are the preserved bodies of slaves brought to the United States from Guinea, Africa. See more » |
