Biography
In life, the unnamed man was a child murderer who was executed for his crimes by electric chair. He was taken to a cemetery where the murdered child's parents were waiting to see his body. The man returned to life as a zombie and began attacking the group who retreated leaving him behind.

The zombie came across two siblings Barbara and Johnny who were visiting their mother's grave. The zombie attacked Barbara and then fought her brother who jumped to her defensive. The zombie overpowered Johnny and hit his head off a gravestone killing him instantly. Barbara retreated and the zombie gave chase and smashed the window of her car and tried to attack her again. Barbara pulled the break and got a good distance from the zombie, but crashed into a tree and continued to retreat to a farmhouse.

The cemetery zombie joined other zombies as they tried to enter the farmhouse containing Barbara and other survivors. At the climax of the film they manage to enter and Barbara is dragged into the crowd, and the only survivor Ben escapes to the basement.

The next day the cemetery zombie is shot dead.
