But when the itching from the growth on his skin becomes unbearable, Jordy succumbs to temptation and collapses into the bathwater. Jordy is eventually cautioned by the ghost of his father not to take a bath. Instead, he finds himself being overcome by a rapidly spreading plant-like organism that begins growing on his body after he touches a glowing green substance within the meteorite. Jordy Verrill, a dimwitted backwoods yokel, thinks that a newly discovered meteorite will provide enough money from the local college to pay off his $200 bank loan.

The corpse gurgles hoarsely at a terrified Richard and Cass, 'It's Father's Day, and I got my cake! Happy Father's Day!' The final freeze-frame shows the undead Nathan in the kitchen triumphantly carrying a platter that is crowned with Sylvia's freshly severed head and covered with cake candles. Before obtaining his long-desired pastry, the revenant avenges himself on Bedelia and the rest of his idle, scheming, money-grubbing heirs, killing them off one by one, which includes some apparent supernatural abilities such as making a heavy tombstone move by will. Suddenly, Nathan's putrefied, maggot-infested corpse emerges from the burial plot in the form of a revenant who has come back to claim the Father's Day cake he never got. When she accidentally spills her whiskey bottle in front of the headstone, it seems to have a reanimating effect on the mortal remains interred below. The sequence begins seven years later when the remainder of Nathan's descendants including Nathan's granddaughter Sylvia, his great-grandchildren Richard, Cass, and Cass's husband Hank - get together for their annual dinner on the third Sunday in June.īedelia, who typically arrives later than the others, stops in the cemetery outside the family house to lay a flower at the gravesite and drunkenly reminisce about how she murdered her insufferable, overbearing father. Bedelia was already unstable as the result of a lifetime spent putting up with her father's incessant demands and emotional abuse, which culminated in his orchestrating the murder of her sweetheart. Nathan Grantham, the miserly old patriarch of a family whose fortune was made through bootlegging, fraud, extortion, and murder-for-hire, is killed on Father's Day by his long-suffering spinster daughter Bedelia. 1.2 'The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill'.
