In the year 1968, every day is the same for Dr. Robert Morgan (Price): He wakes up, gathers his weapons and then goes hunting for zombies. Morgan lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a plague that turns them into vampire-like creatures. They cannot stand sunlight, fear mirrors, and are repelled by garlic. They would kill Morgan if they could, but fortunately, they are weak and not very smart.

Instead of taking his wife to the same public burn pit used to dispose of his daughter's corpse, Morgan buried his wife without the knowledge of the authorities. Morgan becomes aware of the need to kill the plague victims with a wooden stake when his wife returns to his home and attacks him.

It was not designed to be a tourist attraction in its own right. But soon it became a popular spot for people who just wanted to stroll down the promenade and take advantage of the bracing sea air. Clactons popularity grew, with people arriving by both rail and sea. It was situated close enough to London that people could come just for the day, which made it a real tourist hot spot for the Victorians, with their love of sea air and its reputedly therapeutic effects.
