Amedeo De Marchi is a very rich business  man,  he is devoted to paranormal and esoteric studies, has got a strange medal, a Damballah’s lucky charm that gets its owner to have a total control over “ Simon Garth “, a monstrous and strong Zombie that has   a similar medal  on his neck.

De Marchi is found dead, he has been suffocated by a pillow on his face near his house.

The commissioner Carlesi , a very peevish man, starts up the inquires to find out the killer; the main suspects  are  on the numerous nephews that were all  at home at the moment of the homicide.

In his life ,De Marchi had been affected by Edgar Allan Poe Syndrome, that consists  in being frightened and obsessed by the idea of being buried alive,  he was so obsessed by this idea that he had  a crypt built, where there was an opening from the inside.

His will clearly states that the rich heritage will be divided in equal parts, servants included, on the condition that each one in turn ,has to see the crypt for one year, and heritage will be denied to those who don’t carry out this will. After ,a terrible chain of homicides starts taking place, and the presence of the Zombie wandering near De Marchi’s house is felt as a menace .as if he was under  the direct control of  the dead uncle.

Is he really dead? Who is the murderer? Who controls the Zombie? All these questions will find an answer in  the ending!
