Copytight violation
editEverything in this article, including the plot summary, was directly copied and pasted from imdb, whose own entry could do with some editing. Bobquest3 04:46, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
- Have tried to clean it up a bit, changed the plot summary from the IMDb one, but I've never seen or even heard of this movie so feel free to expand or correct please! -- Lochaber 16:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- I have tried to flesh it out a bit, but it's been a few years since I last saw it and my recollections of the subtler plot aspects may be entirely subjective, so please correct me as necessary. I am concerned that Lochaber's edit changed the derivation of the film's concept from a novel based on a graphic novel to the graphic novel itself. I have no knowledge of either, and can't judge one way or another. Canonblack 21:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Tbh I don't know either, various sources say a novel or graphic novel but on IMDb trivia it says that it's not based on Dylan Dog at all but then it's hard to know how reliable IMDb trivia is either. Given the concern I had a further search around and I'm pretty confident that what's there now is true but most online info is in Italian so anyone out there who can speak Italian, you might have better luck verifying it! -- Lochaber 16:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't speak/read Italian, so as long as you're confident, Lochaber, that's good enough for me. If we're wrong, hopefully someone with more comprehensive knowledge will come along and correct us! Canonblack 02:09, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I don't have any sources to verify this, but the movie was based on a short story written by the author of the Dylan Dog comics, and the protagonist happened to be played by the inspiration for Dylan Dog, at least in terms of appearance (Rupert Everett). I'll try and find a source with which to back this up.
- I've heard/seen this as well on an old website called Crypt of Horror I believe. It was actually based on a STORY in one of the Dylan Dog comics, where the main character traveled to a cemetary where a nonchalant groundskeeper killed the dead that kept rising from the grave.

US title
editIsn't the US title of this movie actually Cemetary Man, not Cemetery Man? I realize the actual word is spelled cemetery, but that's why I remember the name, it stuck out because of the typo.
- No, the US title is, was, and always has been Cemetery Man. See, for example, Anchor Bay Entertainment's listing for the upcoming US DVD. Perhaps you are thinking of Stephen King's intentionally misspelled Pet Sematary? Chris Stangl 19:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- I have to ask, why the hell is this article listed under Cemetery Man instead of Dellamorte Dellamore anyway? The latter is the film's title - the former is the name under which it was distributed in the US. I typed in the film's real title and was appalled to find Wikipedia redirecting me here. I'm not a very experienced Wikipedia contributor, so I have no idea if this is fixable. 165.142.249.81 (talk) 05:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. The film should be given its actual main title. Even in Australia I knew it as the real title, not this silly failed distribution name. OzoneO (talk) 06:17, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- I totally agree! Italian film in italian. I don't how to change it though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DarkAvenger (talk • contribs) 01:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Citation and Expansion
editThis article is underdeveloped and undersourced, and is missing important information on the film's production, and legacy. The home media sub-section is undersourced and needs to be rewritten with important citations from reliable sources given for its information. A Production section needs to be added to the article with sub-section detailing the film's development, casting, filming, and (if necessary) special effects. All of the information added will need to have proper citations from reliable sources. Since the film did leave behind a legacy and inspired a graphic novel series and an adaption of that series, a Legacy section will need to be added with all information given proper citations from reliable sources. This article does have potential to become GA and FA if enough attention is given to it. Hopefully someone comes along and gives this article the attention it needs to reach its full potential.--Paleface Jack 20:59, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
