When the neighbors turn into zombies, it's time for a mild-mannered mailman to unleash his inner werewolf.
Project collaboration: By Permission
Synopsis:

A typical suburban neighborhood, with neatly trimmed yards and modern houses.

And a horde of zombies, milling around under a full moon.

As the zombies wander in the street, something dark and animal-like is moving among them. It lashes out with super-human strength- claws and teeth ripping the zombies apart. Clawed hands pluck arms from sockets. Slavering jaws shear through bone. Great sweeping blows from hairy, clawed hands crush bones and send the undead flying through the air.

The zombies sense the danger as their numbers plummet. Those remaining begin to feel a very undead-like emotion: fear. The zombies turn away from their attacker and try to fan out. Their shuffling, limping gaits are too slow, and many are felled from behind, never seeing the awful creature that destroys them.

The Undead are no match for a werewolf.

Three days earlier, Bob Gangulfson starts his morning with breakfast and his family. The Postmaster General of tiny Eclipse, Illinois enjoys his mornings with his two daughters, sipping coffee, eating a breakfast and watching the morning news.

But his daily routine is about to be interupted by the arrival of two ghosts- his ancestors. A Nordic Warrior and an Indian Shaman begin to watch over Bob and his family and start to make themselves known to the family.

Meanwhile, one of Bob’s neighbors has set about on a plan to poison the neighborhood- then resurrect their bodies as the walking undead.

By the day of the full moon, Bob’s neighbor is ready to put his plan into effect. Through the intervention of his Ancestors, Bob and his family are spared poisoning, and witness the undead emerge from homes up and down the street.

Bob locks his family in his basement and tries to defend his home. But he is soon overwhelmed. As he is being eaten alive, Bob learns what his ghostly grandfathers tried to tell him. Bob transforms into a werewolf, unleashing years of pent up rage on the undead.

For Nicolae Zorina, would-be necromancer, the sudden appearance of the werewolf is devastating. The Undead General attempts to coordinate his zombie minions to overcome Bob, but they are no match.
