#33 - Zombie Nightmare - MST3K (1986)

Snow day tomorrow, what?! Haha. I'm planning on watching several movies tomorrow, but Matt and I wanted to watch a terrible movie and make fun of it, so we chose Zombie Nightmare starring Adam West and Tia Carrere.  Already awesome.

We're just minutes into it before the plot starts improbably: there's a knifing in Canada.  There's no crime in rural Canada, so this must be fiction.  There's also a voodoo priestess and violent hooligan teenagers.  Also fiction.  Then the son of the man who was killed in the beginning is run over by a car by the hooligans.  This is proceeded by about seven minutes of the voodoo priestess apparently reviving the second victim so that he could exact revenge on his killer(s).  Oh yeah, this is an Oscar-winning script. And did I mention the heavy metal soundtrack that comes in and goes out at random times? Hell yes!

Hey, there's a really awesome tennis scene!

Also, probably the best ever baseball bat-wielding zombie with what looked like a broken ankle chasing a "briskly jogging" girl scene.

Wow, we actually have the worst actors in the movie in the coroner and the lead police officers.  And that's saying something, considering the voodoo priestess, hooligans, and, well, everyone else in the movie.

The ice cream place is called, you guessed it, the Twist & Crème. A Google search tells me that there actually is a Twist et Crème in Pierrefonds, Québec.  Probably the same one.  You Québecois and your funny names for things.

All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable affair with the MST3K cast (with Mike Nelson).

Movie: 2/10
w/MST3K: 8.5/10
