THE NEIGHBORS ARE ZOMBIES

"PILOT: MEET THE ZOMBIES"

TEASER

INT. A WITCH DOCTOR'S HUT IN HAITI - MIDNIGHT
(BO, AN AMERICAN)

BO IS AN EVIL HAITIAN WITCH DOCTOR, OR BOKOR, AND HIS HUT IS FILLED WITH POTIONS, FEATHERS, HUMAN SKULLS, AND ALL MANNER OF STRANGE ECLECTIC THINGS. HE IS BUSY WORKING ON A STRANGE NEW POTION WHEN AN AMERICAN ENTERS. THE AMERICAN IS A FAT TOURIST, REMINISCENT OF MARLON BRANDO IN HIS LATER AND LESS TOLERABLE ROLES.

AMERICAN

I understand you are the village witch doctor.

BO
(Looking up from his work at the American)

Bokor. I am not a witch or a doctor. I am a Bokor.

AMERICAN

Bokor then. I understand you can bring a dead man back to life.

BO

In a sense.

AMERICAN

What about a whole family?

BO SMILES A TOOTHY VILLAINOUS GRIN.
