Synopsis

* Looking mostly to have some creepy fun with this. Comical, yet serious when it needs to be. Kind of trying to put together a familiar formula...

This is only PART 1, the beginning to a very long tale...

On Halloween night, four young adults decide on traveling to Redrock, Arizona. Legend has it, the ghost of Chief Redeye roams the grounds of Redrock Ranch and the cemetery which lies beside it. They say once the sun sets and the night comes, he awakes and wanders the grounds until sun up, stalking and eventually killing anyone who trespasses...

Redeye is a 7 foot tall zombified ghost come back from the dead to avenge his death and punish the people who trespass into his domain. When Redeye feels he needs aid to rid his unwanted guests, he performs the 'Kala Bebb' the 'Dance of the Dead'. It is a spell in which Redeye summons the dead from their graves, using the zombies to further his rampage. The Chief's eyes glow a mean and vicious red. He wears a tarnished and tattered head dress and carries a massive, skull decorated axe built by his own hands when he was living...

Chief Redeye was once a great and fearless Indian Chief of a very small, but proud tribe. He was well loved and respected by his people. His wife was beautiful and proud of her husband. One day, Chief Toben Makali's (His real name) wife became deathly ill while carrying their unborn child. Toben was told by the tribe's shaman where to find the remedy to save his wife and child. On Toben's journey, a jealous tibe member who was cast out of the tribe long ago, meets up with Redeye, betrays him and kills him. The betraying tribe member and three hired cowboys beat Toben mercilessly and end his life by ramming two long knives through his eyes (Explaining his glowing eyes, hence the name 'Redeye'). As Toben lay dying in the blistering sun, all he could think of was his dying wife and his unborn child he will never get to see nor be able to save upon returning with a remedy. Then the sun sets and the last thing he sees are the stars above him. He has thoughts of wrath, anger and revenge.

Toben's wife and their unborn child die, his tribe's land is eventually taken over by the white man and time passes on...

Over 200 years later, Redrock Ranch and Cemetery, to this day, is cursed. Redeye is said to be the sole reason for hundreds of missing residents and countless unsolved murders- so locals believe. Since Redrock Ranch closed down in 1953 due to it's supposed hauntings, the entire town of Redrock has become nothing more than a ghost town...

Flashing foward to our four youngsters. Being horror enthusiasts and also dabbling in occasional ghost hunting, our four characters go to the infamous Redrock Ranch hoping to have a kick-ass Halloween. When the kids first get to the ghost town of Redrock, they find a crazy lady and a gas station owner who warn them of Redeye's curse. The four kids, of course ignore them, and when they get a flat and walk to the ranch, all hell breaks loose...

The sun sets, Redeye starts his stalking and eventually, he summons his army of undead. Suddenly, it goes from a psychopath slasher flick to a zombie movie...

When our four characters run to Redrock Cemetery to hide from Redeye, they meet Gus, a local who tells them of the old tale. Gus lives close and is always trying to deter stupid folks from finding harm. He is there to try and stop Redeye from harming them. They all try to escape, but Redeye and his zombies are too much for them and only one survives until the very end...

Brandie, the lone survivor, must somehow fend off the living dead, including her friends who have come back as zombies themselves...

In the end, Brandie finds a shot gun and a machete, using them to hack and blast her way through the parade of zombies. She tries to escape Redeye's grasp...

There is a final climaxe and in the final confrontation scene, let's just say, NO ONE survives. That last scene will be the opening scene of Part 2
