After an accident at the local plastics factory cast a poisonous fog over the town, all of the residents ended up in a state of living dead. Unable to survive in bright light, yet unable to fully die. They took one house in the town and dubbed it the "Dead House", to lure unsuspecting families and feast on their blood.

However, as the Benson family escapes, they see that Mr. Dawes is still alive and has already lured a new family.
