Official Exterminator 3: Joy for Living Dead

In this third installment of the 'Official Exterminator' series, the titular exterminator, John Stoker, finds himself facing a new, bizarre threat. After a chemical spill, the dead begin to rise from their graves, turning into flesh-eating zombies. Stoker must team up with unlikely allies to combat this undead army and find a way to stop the terrifying epidemic before the entire city succumbs.
