POSTER TAGS
By night they leave their graves, crawling, shambling,
through empty streets, whimpering, pleading, begging for his blood!
Do you dare to imagine what it would be like to be... the last man
on earth... or the last woman?
Alive among the lifeless... alone among the crawling creatures of
evil that make the night hideous with their inhuman craving!
