after read the previous comment and i be just glad that i wasn not the only person leave confused and especially by the last 20 minute . john carradine be show twice walk down into a grave and pull the lid shut after him . i anxiously await some kind of explanation for this odd behavior . naturally i assume he have something to do with the evil going on at the house and but since he get kill off by the first rising corpse ( hereafter refer to a zombie # 1 ) and these scene make absolutely no sense . please and if someone out there know why carradine kept climb down into graf let the rest of u in on it . all the action be confine to the last 20 minute so i will attempt a synopsis . john carradine come out to the cemetery to investigate and and be throttle by zombie # 1. so far and so good . but then we get the confusing scene where john ireland and jerry strickler and out for a little moonlight filming in the graveyard and discover carradine dead body . strickler repeatedly try to push ireland into the open grave from whence zombie # 1 have emerge and but ireland succeed in flip him into the open grave instead and and presto . strickler come out a zombie # 2. yeah and i guess we can infer that strickler be dead all along ( a witch . ) and but why he change from normal appearance into rot flesh version by fly into zombie # 1 grave be never explain . ( consider how excruciatingly slow move these zombie be and i would of thought he would have prefer to stay in his normal form until his business be conclude ) . this scene also bring a question to mind just who the heck be zombie # 1 . we can only assume zombie # 1 be one of the original murder victim show during the movie open credit and but who know which one and nor why he have a particular grudge against the film crew . anyway and after ireland see this transformation and run away and we see the exact same shot of zombie # 2 shamble through the tree a we saw for zombie # 1 . ( this lead to momentary confusion over just how many zombie there really be ) . then in best 1950 horror movie fashion ireland manage to trip while flee . he conveniently knock his head on the small headstone of faith domergue dead cat ( wasn not that nice of john carradine to chisel a tombstone for a cat that he barely know . ) meanwhile and zombie # 1 have be wreck havoc up at the house . he easily dispatch three film crew member and then start up the stair . faith domergue hear him and and think it lover john ireland back from his night shoot and go out . upon see it only zombie # 1 and she let out a scream and retreat into a bedroom where she retrieve ireland revolver . while starlet carole well be shower at this point and can not hear the scream and her co star charles macauley ( who booze and ham it up at a mirror in his bedroom ) do . take his sweet time ( and only after some more swig from his hip flask ) he finally decide to investigate . ( one thing that strike the viewer during the last quarter of this movie be how slow to react the star be to scream and gunshot ) . domergue come back out into the hallway arm and ready and but mistake macauley for zombie # 1 and shoot him six time . he do a nice acrobatic flip over the railing and then a horrified domergue back up and right into the wait arm of zombie # 1. carole well be by now out of her shower and dry off when she hear gunshot and domergue scream while she too feel no great urgency in run out to investigate . so during this time zombie # 1 have time to string domergue up from the neck with a rope . well see domergue hang corpse and faint dead away . the next time we see her be in a stream outside the house ( . ) but more on that later . meantime and ireland have recover his sens and stumble into the house where he discover zombie # 1 bloody carnage . though ireland have just stumble upon 3 murdered people he more concerned that his film have be expose and ruin . mercifully for him ( and the audience ) and zombie # 1 throw some movie equipment down on his head from the 2nd floor . that the last we see of zombie # 1. at this point the audience be treat to a montage of all the death and show that the new one mirror the old one . how profound . zombie # 2 and meanwhile and have get near the house ( remember and these zombie move as slow a molasses in january ) where he happen to see carole well float by in a stream and and fish her out . how do she get there . do zombie # 1 carry her down and throw her in and then zoom back upstairs just in time to crush john ireland . apparently one of the original victim be drown in the tub and so well have to drown too ( but why outside in a stream and instead of in the tub and be never explain ) . zombie # 2 never make it into the house himself ( everyone dead by now and anyways and thanks to zombie # 1 ) but instead he carry carol well back to the graveyard . a the end credit flash on screen and we see zombie # 2 with his dead love still in his arm and descend into the open grave . the viewer be leave wonder represent yes and but wasn not this zombie # 1 grave . why be zombie # 2 take up residence . and what if zombie # 1 come along and want to climb back in be zombie # 2 gon na let him and or will there be a zombie fight . will the zombie share both the grave and the newly decease carole well . and what about now dead john carradine where he gon na stay . after all and from the early scene we know he clearly at home in the grave . if this plot synopsis of the finale have leave you confuse and do not worry cause youre not alone .
