31 days of horror Day 4
Zombie Nightmare
Source-bootleg DVD from it's airing on MST3K
OK I was supposed to get this movie in on Saturday,but it didn't arrive. Then I realized I have on DVD the episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 that Zombie Nightmare aired on.
Movie starts with credits and Motorhead's "Ace of spades" playing,good way to start a movie in my opinion. The main star is this big muscle head named Jon Mikel Thor. About 7 minutes into the film Thor's dad dies,and we flash forward about 15 years. Now Thor is all grown up and seems to love playing baseball and wearing tank tops that show his nipples. Then we cut to a group of 5 Canadian Hair Metal fans. 3 guys 2 girls,One of the girls is a very young and super hot Tia Carrerre. Cut back to Thor,he goes to the local corner store to pick up some stuff. He goes to the back to use the bathroom,and while back there 2 punks come in and start robbing the place. Thor stops the robbery,and chases the punks out to the streets. While he is standing in the middle of the road yelling at the fleeing robbers he gets hit by a car driven by on of the 5 Canadian Hair Metal fans. This kills poor Thor,the car drives off quickly. And Thor is left dead in the street. The owner of the corner store calls Thor's mom and she arrives. His mom goes and gets the local Voodoo woman,who proceeds to turn Thor into Zombie Thor. Zombie Thor goes out each night and one by one kills each of the 5 CHMFs. The first guy he kills by breaking his neck,and he also kills the girl who isn't Tia,by pulping her head with his ever present baseball bat. The next morning the cops show up,and we get to see the coroner who sounds just like Burgess Meridith as the Penguin. The main cop goes back to the station house and goes to see the Captain. HOLY SHIT BATMAN!!!! the Captain is Adam West. Man you just know a movie is gonna be great when the biggest stars you can get are Adam West and Tia Carrere. The next night Zombie Thor shambles around and meets up with the guy who was driving the car that killed him. Zombie Thor impales this jackass on his baseball bat. The last guy left and Tia decided they must get outta town,but since they are both broken they will have to knock over a garage that is owned by a friend of theirs cousin. They arrive at the garage and last guy goes off to find the cash box,He runs into Zombie Thor who is now looking pretty ragged. Last Guy is killed but the kill wasn't shown. About this time main cop shows up and notices that Voodoo Woman is also there,he gets her to use her dark powers to open the garage door and he enters. Voodoo Woman shuts the door and waits outside. Adam West drives up and makes her get into his car. Inside the garage,main cop sees Zombie Thor smashing Tia's head up against a window until her brains ooze out. Since this is the last of the people that killed him Zombie Thor starts his long journey back to his grave. Main cop,Adam West,and Voodoo Woman also head towards the graveyard. When they get there Zombie Thor is just standing still on his grave. Adam West reveals that when he was younger he tried to rape Voodoo Woman. Then He shoots Zombie Thor,then he shoots Voodoo Woman. He is getting ready to shoot Main Cop ,but Zombie Thor comes up on him from behind and drags Adam down in the grave with him. Fade to black and the credits start to roll while some really bad metal plays. Man I get the feeling that without Mike,Tom Servo,and Crow in the bottom right corner this movie would have been a lot worse. But thanks to their rapid fire wit I managed to enjoy it. So the final grade is B-.
