On his first day on the job at an army surplus store, poor Freddy unwittingly releases nerve gas from a secret U.S. military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas re-animates a corps of corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger for human brains! And luckily for those carnivorous cadavers, there is a group of partying teens nearby, just waiting to be eaten! NOTE TO READERS: This novel is based on the film of the same name, and is markedly different from the earlier novel of the same title by John Russo, which was originally published by Hamlyn Paperbacks.
