Scream Factory, the home video outlet that is basically a bastion of horror awesomeness, has announced that they will be releasing Wes Craven’s 1988 voodoo zombie thriller The Serpent and the Rainbow! Starring Bill Pullman, Cathy Tyson, Zakes Mokae, and Paul Winfield, the film follows an anthropologist (Pullman) who travels to Haiti to retrieve a strange powder that supposedly can bring humans back from the dead.
“A Harvard anthropologist (Bill Pullman) is sent to Haiti to retrieve a strange powder that is said to have the power to bring human beings back from the dead. In his quest to find the miracle drug, the cynical scientist enters the rarely seen netherworld of walking zombies, blood rites and ancient curses. Based on the true life experiences of Wade Davis and filmed on location in Haiti, it’s a frightening excursion into black magic and the supernatural.”
