After an introduction to the zombie documentary (
The Death of Death) mostly filmed by Jason Creed, a film student at the University of Pittsburgh , the film cuts to the group of students filming a mummy horror movie in the woods, with Jason directing. The actor playing the mummy, Ridley, is lectured on the way a corpse moves and the make-up artist, Tony Ravello, on not doing a good enough job on the make-up of the mummy. While the group argues, another student named Elliot declares that something strange is on the news. All the students, and their supervising professor hear the reports of the dead waking, and Tony scoffs at the news saying it is sensationalism. After hearing the report, Ridley decides to head to his home in Philadelphia, along with Francine, another student.
The group gets into their Winnebago and drive to the university dorms to pick up Debra, Jason's girlfriend. Entering the abandoned dormitory, he finds Debra in her room, attempting to get through to her parents, but to no avail. On the laptop next to her is the news report from the beginning of the movie. They get on the road once more, and Jason requests that each of the people introduce themselves to the camera, because he believes what is going on will be a part of history, and wants to document everything..
