The premise

Starting a new life in a quiet Pennsylvania town, Matthew Michaels only thought is to turn an old farm property into a profitable car dealership. He soon discovers that beneath the gentle surface, this small town is anything but calm and peaceful. Firstly, he learns that his new property is located on the site of a graveyard, which all the townsfolk regard as an evil place that must never be visited. He then discovers that years earlier the town had suffered an infestation of the living dead ...zombies who prey on human flesh. One zombie, the infamous Abbot Hayes, escaped destruction. As the construction team begin degging, they unleash the thing the townsfolk fear the most, the wrath of Abbot Hayes and the awakening of ... The Children of the Living Dead.

Horror Vault's take

When an outsider purchases a quiet Pennsylvania property to build a car dealership, he uncovers a dark history buried beneath the soil — literally. The locals know better than to disturb the old graveyard on the land, haunted by the legacy of a particularly fearsome zombie named Abbot Hayes. Construction quickly stirs up more than dirt, and what was once contained threatens to consume the entire town. This low-budget entry in the living dead tradition leans into schlocky creature carnage for fans who like their horror rough around the edges.
