Reanimation

Q: What do Michael Jackson, Stephen King and George A. Romero have in common? A: They'd all dabbled in the un-dead. Jackson in Thriller, King in Pet Sematary, and Romero in the DEAD series. While bringing a corpse back to life per se requires a stretch of the imagination (and abandonment of disbelief), it's known that Haitian voodooists can turn humans into 'zombies' by means of poisons and live burials (ref: THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW).
