Preacher Creature Meets the Scream Queen

Bill Campbell is the actor behind Preacher Creature, the humorously grotesque character he plays when presenting schlock movies on his weekly TV show, assisted by his much-maligned sidekick, Ellis. Together, they attract a large audience of young viewers in the small town of Cotters Field. When the Creature announces a competition for aspiring horror writers, Russ Huntingdon is quick off the mark, submitting his scenario for Zombie Feast.
But as fans of Preacher Creature's Creature Feature thrill to tales of madness and mutilation, it seems one viewer has gone too far, since bodies start showing up… bodies that bear strong similarities to the Creature's movies. Has someone simply gone off the deep end, or is it a set-up?
Elsewhere, at a large country house, Dino Lombardi prepares to film his latest horror epic, Shapeshifter. But, it is during Preacher Creature's live TV interview with Dino that everything reaches a rip-roaring climax as the real shapeshifter is revealed in a mind-boggling on-camera transformation.
