Synopsis

This is a comedy-thriller in a weird and sinister setting - the Okefenokee Swamp in Florida where voodoo practices are accepted. In a decayed mansion a former carnival hypnotist calling himself Baron Samedi and a crooked sheriff have developed an "unusual" business. They turn illegal immigrants, petty criminals and intruders into zombies and lease them out as farm laborers. Profits and success are not enough however. The hypnotist wants revenge against those who have wronged him in the past. For the young television producer and his two girl friends who stumble onto the grim proceedings, it's a night to remember-especially when they encounter "The Walking Dead".
