Night of the Comet
After a comet wipes out most of life on Earth, two Valley Girls find themselves fighting against cannibal zombies and a sinister group of scientists.
Why it matters
A gleefully campy post-apocalyptic romp that mixes ’80s teen sass with zombie chaos and sci-fi weirdness.
- Valley Girl protagonists carve out rare space for teenage female leads in disaster horror.
- Practical effects bring the zombie cannibal menace to gruesome, sticky life without overreliance on CGI.
- Balances horror, comedy, and sci-fi with a breezy tone that’s equal parts fun and creepy.
- A cult classic snapshot of ’80s genre mashups reflecting Cold War anxieties through a neon-lit lens.
