The Plot:
Francesco Dellamorte, the caretaker of the Buffalora Cemetery, and his trusty assistant Gnaghi, find that the recently buried are rising from the grave and trying to eat people. No one in the town's administration believes that this is happening, and so Francesco and Gnaghi simply deal with these so-called "Returners" and go on about their day
