Detailed Synopsis
Barbra and Johnny (NOTLD)|Johnny are driving to the cemetery to lay flowers on the grave of their father. As they park an announcer on the radio mentions technical problems. They go to their father's grave site and place a cross with flowers in the ground. Johnny sees Cemetery Zombie slowly walking towards them and then recalls a time when he scared Barbra at the cemetery when they were children. He realizes she is uneasy in the cemetery and starts trying to scare her. As the Cemetery Zombie gets close to Barbra it attacks her. Johnny runs over to help Barbra, but is knocked to the ground and killed when his head hits the corner of a headstone. The Cemetery Zombie chases after Barbra and she runs to the car, but doesn't have the car keys. The Cemetery Zombie breaks the car window and Barbra releases the emergency break and coasts down the road until she hits a tree. She gets out of the car and runs to an old farm house. She goes inside and locks the door and walks through the house and takes a knife from the kitchen.
