OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES

“There's No Rest for the Wicked in the Desert of the Living Dead”

In a remote desert oasis, a fortune in gold was hidden by the Nazis during World War 2. 50 years later, a bunch of fortune-hunters converge on that selfsame oasis. Imagine their discomfiture upon discovering that the gold is being guarded by an army of zombies.
