As a lifelong member of the National Romerian Association (not to be confused with the other NRA with whom we have nevertheless proudly shared both a president and a tagline for just over a year now), I have never had much time for the Haitian or "voodoo" zombie. In the end, being docile, hard-working and non-flesh eating just isn't all that interesting. But I'm willing to reach out across the aisle after seeing the Voudou exhibition at the Tropenmuseum yesterday. The red and black icons of the Bizango secret society would be equally at home in Silent Hill or the Saatchi collection.
