Teaser Storyline for Blood of Ghastly Horror On a dark and frightening night a hulking creature prowls in the shadows of deserted streets. He stalks his victims and then attacks...to kill. He is a ZOMBIE! One by one they are brutally strangled or torn apart as the vengeance-minded demon does his evil work. In a local Police station Sgr. Cross and Sgt. Grimaldl are busily working on the mysterious murders sweeping the city when a package arrives at their office. Upon opening it they are shocked as they find the decapitated head of one of their men who had been working on the case. Susan Vanard arrives at the same Police Station and reveals a strange story to Cross. Someone is after her life and she feels it concerns her late father.

life. But Corey became an inhuman maniac driven by the brain's powers to commit acts of shocking and brutal horror. Dr. Vanard himself was killed by Corey, who electrocuted the surgeon with his own high voltage brain wave equipment. This murder started a nation-wide manhunt and Joe Corey was finally tracked down by Police and killed like a mad animal. In discussing this background with Susan Vanard, Sgt. Cross realized that he is the last living Police officer still connected with that case. And, that some of the recent murder victims also were fled In with the Vanard murders. Susan returns to her hotel and a weird, hypnotic voice calls to her in her mind. It is the voice of Elton Corey, father of the dead killer, who is seeking revenge for his son's death. Elton Corey is a master of voodoo techniques and has been able to bring the dead back to life as In the case of AKRO, his Human ZOMBIE. Corey lures Susan to his laboratory where he keeps his Zombie alive in a strange glass coffin. His weird fluids flow through the creature's veins and sustain him in a sort of life that looks like sleep, until the Monster is awakened by a special Injection. To avenge his son's death the Mad Doctor injects the serum into Susan Vanard that will not kill her; but will cause her to suffer a Living Death! Before his eyes she slowly is transformed into a Thousand Year Old Woman - a Living Mummy - able to feel every torture of the state of torment she's in. As Susan shreiks in pain, Grimaldi and Cross close in on Corey's lab. But, Corey brings Akro to life and Grimaldi Is horribly killed by the power of the dead Zombie's death-like grip. A struggle ensues as Cross arrives and Corey refuses to give Akro his "life fluid" as he Is finished with the ZOMBIE! Akro kills Corey and then collapses in a rotting heap, as Susan locates the antidote fluid. Time passes and nothing happens she Is In a state of panic, but suddenly her horrible transformation works in reverse and she is returned to her youthful former self. But, on the floor of the Jab three corpses remain visible evidence of the close brush she had with a LIVING DEATH!
