Interesting facts

Cemetery Man is a 1994 zombie comedy horror film directed by Michele Soavi and starring Rupert Everett, François Hadji-Lazaro and Anna Falchi. It was produced by Tilde Corsi, Gianni Romoli and Soavi and based on the novel Dellamorte Dellamore by Tiziano Sclavi. Everett plays a beleaguered caretaker of a small Italian cemetery, who searches for love while defending himself from dead people who keep rising again. It is an international co-production between Italy, France, and Germany.

Production

The film is based on Tiziano Sclavi's novel Dellamorte Dellamore, written in 1983 but published in 1991. In 1986, Sclavi created the comic character Dylan Dog, who not only shares some characteristics with Francesco Dellamorte but was visually based on Rupert Everett (as an in-joke, the film cast Everett and costumed the character in a fashion deliberately reminiscent of Dylan Dog).
