Artist Night Of The Comet

  • night of the comet

Apparently released to capitalize on Halley’s Comet-mania, 1984 cult classic Night Of The Comet pits valley girls against the undead when Earth passes through the tail of a comet that reduces most of the population to either a pile of red dust or a cannibalistic zombie. Sisters Sam and Reggie survive thanks to their Army-brat upbringing—which imparted an impressive knowledge of assault weapons—coming to terms with the end of civilization by raiding the mall, while avoiding the government agents out to harvest their blood for an antidote.
