(1980)
English 74 min

Plot

A meteor crashes into a houseboat in the swamps surrounding a quaint southern town filled with Yankees with fake accents. The occupants of the houseboat transform into zombies, feeding off the alligators that inhabit the murky waters. As the alligator population dwindles, the hungry zombies turn their attention to the town's residents.

Slow

Shambling horrors, advancing with relentless, unhurried steps.

Special

Science, animals, aliens, or unique characteristics. Zombies and zombie-like monsters that don't quite fit other categorizations.
