Fan Question ~ Why does Mick St John sleep in a freezer?

Welcome to all the new Moonlight fans who are discovering the series on Sci-Fi :) I've already been receiving heaps of emails and comments from you. YEA! Several messages asking why Mick St John sleeps in a freezer instead of a coffin as in most Vampire stories. I watched an interview with Alex O'Loughlin where he discussed the freezer thing. He said the Moonlight vamps had discovered that "their physical bodies decay over time over the hundreds of years" and the cold "slows down that process of decay."

Why does Mick sleep in a freezer?

Love Josef impatiently waking Mick in the B.C. episode. I could get use to every show starting like this! hehehehe... Many have asked why Mick sleeps in a freezer instead of a coffin. I watched an interview with Alex where he discussed the freezer thing. He said the Moonlight vamps had discovered that "their physical bodies decay over time over the hundreds of years" and the cold "slows down that process of decay."
