Date with the Dead
All high school cheerleader Jenny wants to do is spend a romantic evening with her boyfriend, the dreamy captain of the football team, Jack. And all Jack wants to do is break up with Jenny as quickly and painlessly as possible. But when the quarrelling couple is suddenly caught in the midst of a zombie invasion, the fate of their relationship (and their lives) rests in the hands of one man: Jenny's eccentric father, Professor Corpsinski. And although the professor may not know much about love... he sure knows a lot about zombies.
