Film[]
Casey is first seen with the Punk group walking down a street in Louisville. They are on their way to meet Suicide and pick up Freddy, Tina's boyfriend, after his work shift. Arriving too early, the group decides to wait for Freddy in the cemetery, where they throw a party for the rest of the night.
Presuming it to be Freddy (which would be confirmed later) crossing the cemetery with Frank and Burt along with the reanimated corpse, Chuck doesn't take her seriously, and the two continue partying in the cemetery, prompting Tina to go to the medical supply warehouse in search of Freddy, only to be attacked by the zombie Tarman. Later, during the acid rain, the group is hit and decides to take shelter in Suicide's car, waiting for Tina, who doesn't return, and then they all decide to go after her in the warehouse.
After being startled by Tina's screams and seeing Suicide attacked and killed by Tarman, Casey reaffirms having seen Freddy in the cemetery, and the group returns to the location during the storm, which causes Trioxin to penetrate the soil and reanimate the zombies. With several undead rising from their graves.
The group splits up, and Casey and Chuck manage to escape the cemetery during the rain, leaving Trash behind and causing her death. The duo is chased by zombies and returns to the medical supply warehouse, where Tarman is trapped in the basement.
Casey suggests calling emergency services, but a zombie attacks one of the office rooms through a window and destroys the phone, forcing the pair to barricade the room and keep themselves cornered in the warehouse premises. Later, Casey has a crying fit and asks Chuck to hold her.
Chuck and Casey are seen later only to rescue Burt and Spider. They finally kill Tarman and gain access to the phone in the basement, remaining hopeless as they realize the zombies are killing the police officers and breaking through the blockade. Burt eventually contacts the army using a number written on the barrel where Tarman was stored.
As a result of Burt's call, Colonel Glover authorizes a nuclear explosion in the Louisville area where the zombie attacks are occurring, causing the death of everyone in the vicinity, including Casey.
