Peter and Mary visit Theresa who warns them that according to the ancient book of Enoch, the events Mary witnessed in her visions presage the eruption of the living dead into our world. The death of Father Thomas, a marked priest, has somehow opened a door through which the living dead can enter and the invasion will commence on All Saints Day, just a few days away.In Dunwich, Bob Giovanni Lombardo Radice, a lonely youth with a bad reputation, wanders into an abandoned house, finding a rubber doll which inflates itself. Before he can use it, the sight of a rotting babys corpse scares him away. At Junies Lounge, the barman talks with two local men, Mr. Ross Venantino Venanini and Mike, about recent strange events for which Mr. Ross is inclined to blame Bob. When a mirror shatters and the wall cracks inexplicably, the men leave, despite the bartenders offer of free drinks. Across town, Gerry Carlo De Mejo, a psychiatrist, is in consultation with Sandra Janet Agren, a neurotic patient, when Emily Robbins Antonella Interlenghi, his 19yearold girlfriend and personal assistant, arrives. She tells Gerry that shes on her way to meet Bob, whom she has been trying to help. After Emily leaves, Sandras pet cat, whom she has been holding through her session, suddenly scratches her badly on her hand, and huddles in a corner. That evening, Emily visits Bob at a disused garage, but unearthly groans scare him away. Emily is left alone when she faces the supernatural apparition of Father Thomas who smothers her with a maggotcovered hand. ........
