Hey, all you teenage mutant comet zombies, this week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show get ready to blast into the past with ‘Night of the Comet,’ the 80s sci-fi horror flick that’s still as radiant as the comet that wiped out most of humanity. With a killer soundtrack full of songs you’ve never heard and will never hear again, strong female leads, and zombies galore, this cult classic is a night you won’t forget.
Join Clay and Amanda as they fall down the well of sex in uncomfortable places, teenage comet zombies, Clay’s (second) favorite movie gun–the Mac-10, casual 80’s racism, casual 80’s homophobia, a think tank full of man-splainers, and pretty not bad parenting, all things considered.
Night of the Comet” is a classic 80s sci-fi horror film directed by Thom Eberhardt. The movie takes place in Los Angeles and follows the story of two teenage sisters, Samantha and Reggie, who survive a comet that wipes out most of humanity. However, the survivors soon discover that those who were not killed by the comet have been turned into zombie-like creatures.
The film is a unique blend of horror, comedy, and science fiction that offers a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic genre. The two sisters, played by Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney, are strong and independent female leads who fight to stay alive in a world overrun by zombies. The film’s soundtrack, featuring a mix of 80s pop and rock music, adds to its cult status.
“Night of the Comet” has become a beloved cult classic among horror and sci-fi fans, praised for its witty script, memorable characters, and inventive storyline. It remains a fun and entertaining movie that stands the test of time
So get that arcade high score, drive to San Diego, come back in a Santa suit, and take over the mall with us…if you dare!
