''[[The Serpent and the Rainbow]]'' is a 1988 horror film directed by [[Wes Craven]]. It is, in a broad sense, [[Our Zombies Are Different|a zombie movie]], but one of the more traditional, pre-''[[Night of the Living Dead]]'' voodoo types. Originally filmed in [[Haiti]], where a majority of the action takes place, the political and social unrest meant [[California Doubling|moving the entire production to the nearby country of Dominican Republic]] midway through production for the safety of the cast and crew.

* [[Badass Boast]]: After purchasing a vial of zombie powder from Mozart, Dennis Alan loudly calls him an idiot, says "You want to know what I think of your powders?", pours the entire vial into a drink, then chugs the mixture. Before leaving, he hisses: "It's piss." {{spoiler|He actually used slight of hand to switch the real vial out for one of his own; ultimately, it was a move meant to psyche out Celine enough to give him the real powder}}.

* [[Buried Alive]]: This is part of the zombie-creation process.
