Biography
Harry Wentworth and Becky Vickers appear as waterlogged zombie-ghosts, when they return to exact vengeance on Becky's husband, Richard Vickers.

When Richard Vickers became aware of his wife's lustful affair with Harry Wentworth, he hatched a devious plot to torture and murder them by taking them to the beach and burying them up to their heads in sand until the tide came in and drowned them. They would simultaneously watch each others demise via closed circuit television while trying to remain calm and hold their breath, hoping that the tide might miraculously set them free.

It was a futile hope.

After leaving them for dead, Richard returned home to enjoy the spectacle on TV from the comfort of his beach house. Then a nervous paranoia began to set on him, and he started to hear sounds around the house. Soon, he was confronted by their animated cadavers, who returned the favor by putting him in the sand and mocking him; telling him he could survive if he can hold his breath long enough.
