A living history??? That makes no sense.

It is interesting. They have a piece at the end of it about Zombie Squad, an S&P website. Decent place once you wade past the mall ninjas and fanbois. There are a few folks there that are serious and know their stuff.

A living history??? That makes no sense.

"Living" as ongoing undead in literature, lore, religion etc. Talking about the more factual parts of human history, burials, folklore and literature of the undead etc. Ever wonder why we still lock coffins?

Very little in there about voodoo part, which was good as that had become trite. Lots of stuff I never knew way back to Chinese and Scandinavian lore.

And then, yes, zombies as metaphor to a certain extent, but then real scenarios of what IF. Very nifty quickies before each break about hand to hand on zombies, weapons, etc.

Nice combo of facts and tongue in cheek, too -- Brooks was commenting quite a bit in a nifty dead serious way -- I really enjoyed it; if you get History 2, check it out sometime as it comes back around.

Search on TV Guide doesn't show any repeats soon cept it's on right now.
