Monster of the Day #3674

Sorry not to have checked in yesterday; I was so tired after having to get up for work that I couldn’t rouse the energy. Even so, B-Fest was great, and so was last weekend’s Basement Fest. But man, I’m going to be zonked for a while.

Back to B-Fest. Last we left, it was the midnight showing of Plan Nine from Outer Space. This was followed by the ’80s comic horror flick (mostly comic) The Night of the Comet. I’m famously way over my lifetime limit of zombies, but Comet is far less of a zombie movie than it initially seems like it will be. Plus Mary Woronov and Geoffrey Lewis are in it. I hadn’t seen it since it came out, and it remains an amusing piffle.

    Good to see you posting here again. And am I wrong, or is Night of the Comet the 80's movie where teenagers take over the world after everyone else gets disintegrated?

    Sort of, it's your Day of the Triffids type most everyone dies during a spectacular celestial event. You only survived if you didn't go outside and were surrounded by metal.
