Popular soap opera Neighbours has released the first episode of a spooky spin-off series, Neighbours vs Zombies.

The episode begins when Mason Turner (Taylor Glockner) returns home to Erinsborough for a visit and is terrified when he encounters a recently reanimated Robbo.

Mason struggles to make his sister believe what he saw and then he encounters Hope Gottlieb (Laura Maroun) who shows him a video that reveals Robbo isn't the only one to have returned from beyond the grave.
