Burying the Ex

Max, a passionate horror enthusiast, dreams of opening a horror memorabilia shop. His romantic heart drives him to navigate a complex relationship with Evelyn, an environmentalist who is deeply committed to sustainability.

In an effort to please Evelyn, Max begins sacrificing his own aspirations and lifestyle choices, including giving up his cherished car. While doing this, he attempts to keep the peace and maintain harmony in their relationship.

While unloading new inventory at work, Max stumbles upon a mysterious artifact known as the Satan Genie. Initially dismissing it as a novelty, he tucks it away in storage, unaware of the chaos it will soon unleash.

Max and Evelyn take a significant step in their relationship when she moves into his apartment. They celebrate this milestone with a horror-themed ice cream treat at Olivia's shop, further solidifying their bond.

In a heartfelt moment, Evelyn confides in Max that he is her only source of joy since her mother’s passing. This profound admission deepens their relationship but also foreshadows later troubles.

Max returns home to discover that Evelyn has dramatically altered the apartment with her personal tastes, replacing their shared memories. This triggers a clash between their preferences, leading Max to a breaking point.

Feeling overwhelmed, Max turns to his laid-back half-brother, Travis, who suggests a public breakup. This unconventional advice significantly influences Max's thoughts about his tumultuous relationship with Evelyn.

Evelyn abruptly leaves for the park, resulting in a devastating accident when she is struck by a bus. Max is left heartbroken, grappling with the implications of their strained relationship amidst his grief.

Following Evelyn’s death, Max spirals into despair but gradually begins to re-enter society with Travis’s encouragement. This process leads to a serendipitous meeting with Olivia, which sparks new possibilities.

To Max's shock, he discovers that Evelyn has returned from the dead with an eerie brightness in her eyes. This reunion is overshadowed by her delusions about their relationship, complicating Max's feelings for Olivia.

In a desperate attempt to control his life, Max learns that the remains of the Satan Genie are shattered. This realization leaves him feeling adrift as he struggles to find closure and peace in a chaotic situation.

As Max navigates his tangled emotions, Travis encounters the now-inebriated Evelyn, demanding a grotesque ultimatum. This confrontation reveals the full extent of the twisted reality Max must contend with.

Halloween approaches, and the situation escalates as Travis unknowingly falls prey to Evelyn’s insatiable hunger for human flesh. This shocking twist thrusts Max into a fight for survival amid growing chaos.

A violent showdown erupts in Max's apartment as he confronts the reanimated Evelyn, culminating in a shocking revelation of Travis being another zombie. This dramatic encounter ultimately leads to her demise.

As the new year begins, Max and Olivia's relationship blossoms into a promising partnership combining horror and sweet treats. In a heartfelt moment, Max proposes to Olivia, ensuring a bright future together despite lurking shadows.
