The Black Zodiac

I was watching the Thirteen Ghosts on tv and I was interested in the Black Zodiac. It's a little different than the movie, but here's what I could dig up:

Contrary to popular belief -- this is NOT based on the movie 13 Ghosts. The Black Zodiac is actually the dark and tortured counterpart to the solar Roman Zodiac that was exposed in the Necronomicon, the book of the dead. The movie 13 ghosts used the signs of the Zodiac, but changed the names to fit the ghosts for the movie.....these are the real names and descriptions of the Black Zodiac, as listed in the Necronomicon. Find out your Zodiac's dark counterpart.
