Confused as to why Weekend at Bernie's was considered a zombie movie.

I'd love to find this one again. Owned it as a teenager. Remember it wasn't exhaustive by any means, but it was good and needs a re-read badly. Barker is a good choice for someone to write a book on horror. He certainly enjoys showing up on documentaries about it, even if he hasn't written much in the genre anymore.

Due to flooding in our basement (where my library just happened to be located) I had to take down and put back all my books and came across this title. I didn't remember it well except that I enjoyed it. Perfect for laying around the house to pick up and read a chapter/letter whenever I had the chance (hence the long reading period between dates).

Lovely book about books, movies, history, people, and obscure ideas that all had some influence on the talented Mr. Barker in shaping the Renaissance artist and story teller that he is.
