The lynch mobs are both a riot and poignent. The gore is playful.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: Since childhood, Johnny Dingle has wanted to be with Missy, as did everyone else. As a child he gawanted to give her a present but couldn't. For 12 years he lusted and fell more hopelessly in love until in his desperation... After Missy broke up witrhn  buck van Patto of 6 years. Johnny engages in sex fantasies during class. As he attempts to ask Missy out, Buck cuts him off and makes up.  Buck complements Johnny on his zit despite the cover stick he used. Johnny comes up with a plan with the help of his friend Eddy. He visits the convenience store where Missy works and purchases item after item  waiting for Eddy to rob the store. A real robber takes over and Johnny is shot in the heart as Eddy gonks the robber with a ketchup bottle.</B></div> <div> <B>His final words "Will you go to the prom with me?" At the funeral, Missy throws in a rose wishing that she'd gotten to know him. It turns out this goes for a Dracula motif love that even death couldn't conquer. The grave digger tells Johnny he is undead and that he must spend his days in the cemetary. When he leaves to his date, his parents are surprised. When Johnny pokes at the hole in his chest, he realizes that he's dead. When he shows up at school, he receives a demerit for being late. He further alienates people when he tries to take a bite out of Eddie in the cafeteria. Johnny gets a hard time from some of the kids who have unreasoning prejudices against the dead. Missy, however, warms to Johnny and they have the first date at a zombie movie. Johnny remarks after the movie that there's a lot of prejudice against the undead. Missy, however, is smitten. When Johnny's ear comes off in Missy's mouth, however, he decides something must be done. He shows up at doctor Bronson's to see what can be done. Bronson decides on glue for the ear. Bronson says that at the rate he's decaying, he'll be just about through by the morning. He sends Johnny to Maggie Benson whose husband came back from the dead fifteen years before. Maggie suggests that the flesh of the living will give him more time. Johnny says that trying to eat Eddie was such the wrong thing to do. Meanwhile, back at the lab, Benson is working on a tissue sample of Johnny's. When Johnny's nose comes off, Missy cleverly uses some gum to get the nose back on, but when an arm and leg come off, Missy hurries away as Johnny tries to assure her there's nothing wrong. At school the next day, a quiet moment with Missy is interrupted when Chuck attacks first with a baseball bat and then with an axe. Eddie and Missy are a bit disappointed when they surprise Johnny in the act of eating Chuck. Although Missy is a bit miffed about his eating Chuck, she gives in to his zombie charms. Meanwhile, mother and father have brought a child they picked up at the supermarket for Johnny to eat. In the nick of time, a lynch mob comes by and saves little Chuck from lunchood. Mother, however, puts a stop to the immolation of Johnny with a shotgun. When Johnny can't help himself and tries to eat Missy, he just about gives up. However, when Eddie suggests that he eat Buck, it appears his problems are solved. Benson, however, drops by and tells Eddie that he's solved his problem. Unfortunately, Benson has found that by harvesting zombie flesh, he can produce a fountain of youth. Just in the nick of time, the lynch mob shows up again. Before Benson can quite get at Johnny with the circular saw, however, he is whisked away by Eddy and Missy. Pursued by the lynch mob, Johnny returns to Murray the grave digger at the cemetary. When the grave digger rhetorically asks the mob if they would eat someone to be with the person they love, the mob dissipates chagrinned at the logic. At the prom, he gets the dance that he had waited for all his life.</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Courier New" ><B>              </B></FONT></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
