Stunned, they sit paralyzed with shock as the sea of cactus approaches.  Doc’s body falls upon the hood of the car.  His head jerks suddenly upward, and his eyes shoot open.  He brings his tortured hands to the hood of the car, and forces himself to stand.  We realize that he has become one of the undead cactus people.

Then, in quick succession, we recognize the distorted bodies of the Sergeant and the Private from the opening scene, the Old man, His Wife, and their Dogs, from the isolated house in the desert.  We also see that the Mule and even the Chickens have been converted to monstrous cactus creatures.  Close-up on the cactus-chickens: “Bluck, bluck, bluck.”
