Page "Libris Mortis" Paragraph 3

Inspiration for the book's content came from numerous sources.

In an interview posted on the Wizards of the Coast website, Collins said that inspiration came from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, various Dracula films, along with films The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.

Cordell said that pop culture has " less impact on conceptualizations of the undead ", but he did mention The Evil Dead, 28 Days Later and the novel Salem's Lot.

According to Collins, he and Cordell worked equally on the book, with Collins focusing more on material relating to character building, sample undead and running undead, while Cordell dealt with monster design and undead material, but he said that they " dabbled in each others '" sections quite a bit as well ".

He also mentioned a monster template designed by Matt Sernett that was originally written for the Monster Manual III and had been included in Libris Mortis.
