Zombie Island

On a hot, sunny afternoon at the beach in gorgeous South Padre Island sits Julius Caesar. This isn’t just some strange man named Julius Caesar, this is the Julius Caesar leader of Rome. Julius Caesar has rose from the dead and is now a grotesque zombie that likes to go to hot spring break spots for young college kids. Lying on the beach Julius Caesar draws the attention from a few college spring breakers and they decide to follow him to his luxurious hotel. The spring breakers then realize that Julius Caesar isn’t the only former historical figure that has rose from the dead as a zombie but that there are many other figures like President Abraham Lincoln, Josef Stalin, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Mao Zedong, and the like. They were all there, apparently in death you have no differences because well…no one has what you want so it doesn’t matter. All their differences are reconciled and they are just here to do one thing and that’s party. The two college kids named Ted Gerard and Frank Ricardo are watching the zombies from a distance and naturally are in South Padre Island to party. They realize how awesome of a story they would have to go back home and tell their “bros” about how they partied with zombies on spring break. Ted and Frank put ugly make-up on and dress homely like zombies in order to get into the party to hang out with the world figures. Once in there they are casually drinking with the other zombies, Ted decides he wants to move the keg closer to the beer pong table, doing so he knocks the keg on its side and it rolls into the table and knocks everything over. At this point the music comes to a stop and all attention is on Ted and Frank. The zombies now realize that Ted and Frank are not real zombies and attempt to kill them. Ted and Frank evade the blood lusting zombies for now but all the former leaders and historical figures are angry at the human race now and declare war upon the whole world. A world wide fight erupts by the acts of two drunk college freshmen. Hundreds of thousands of zombies arise from the grave to wreak havoc on the living. There is a zombie apocalypse and the zombies seem to be winning the fight. President Lincoln and Julius Caesar finally run into Ted and Frank again to gain their revenge for disrupting their party. Lincoln and Caesar sink their blood thirsting teeth into Ted and Frank to kill them and feel forever at peace knowing that the living will no longer bother their parties on spring break. The next spring break the zombies are partying in Panama City at their hotel. Two homely looking zombies that are moving the keg accidentally knock it over and it rolls into the beer pong table and knocks it over again. They stare at the two zombies and realize they are the two young college kids that they had killed the previous year, only to realize that they are now zombies too.
