I tried doing the trivial pursuit thing with my brother last night by asking him if he knew when the first zombie movie was made. He came dangerously close to a perfect answer. No, I’m not going to say perfect. There’s a difference between the 1920’s and 30’s.
Anyway, I decided that I’m going to spend some of my play time searching for obscure zombie facts and see if I can stump said brother…or other zombie lovers/haters for that matter. We’ll just see, won’t we?

1920's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the title character controlled a sleepwalker, or "somnambulist," named Cesare in much the same way as early movie zombies. Thats the 1920's example I had in mind (I'm the brother :) )
