At the same time Eric (John Ireland) the Director, and his assistant David (Jerry Strickler), venture into the graveyard and discover Price's dead body. To his horror Eric discovers an eighth grave which bears David's name. David emerges from this grave as a zombie and everyone flees from him. But do they all get away?
