An evil supernatural being known as the Tall Man travels from [[Small Towns|small town]] to small town, leaving devastation in his wake. Posing as an undertaker, he steals dead bodies and transforms them into [[Our Zombies Are Different|dwarf-like]] [[Zombie Mooks|zombie slaves]], nicknamed 'lurkers'. Pursuing him are the only ones who might stop him: a troubled young man named Mike, an aging, balding ice cream vendor named Reggie, and the few allies they find along the way. |

It is fair to say that the rules of [[Rule of Cool|cool]] and [[Rule of Scary|scary]] are the guiding principles of the series. [[Bellisario's Maxim]] probably applies.
