A Conversation for Necronomicon

Lovecraft's Necronomicon (book of the dead) also shows up in the updated Mummy series (Brendon Frasier) and also in Army of Darkness (Bruce Campbell).
Inexplicably, the latter Necronomicon reference (Army of Darkness) seems to have a tie-in with a 1950s scifi movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", because in order to avoid waking the Army of Darkness Zombies, one must recite a famous line from that movie: 'Klatu batata nicto' (loosely translated as an instruction to Klatu's intergalactic robocop named 'Gort' -- 'revive Klatu, and don't reduce the Earth to a burned out cinder.') Bruce Campbell starts the incantation and mumbles the rest, which is obviously just not going to be good enough.
I was holding my breath to see if Hermione would retrieve the Necronomicon from Hogwart's restricted library, but no luck.
