Night of the Comet (1984)
6/10
I sat myself down to watch Night of the Comet (1984)—a perfectly normal choice for a movie about everyone turning into red dust except two Valley Girls who just want to shop and shoot zombies. By the end of my first jug of sangria, I was fully on board: the world had ended, but at least there were cute outfits and free department stores.
The plot? Basically Dawn of the Dead meets Clueless with a dash of hairspray and doomsday radio DJs. The sangria hit around the time they started using machine guns in the mall, and I decided this was the most relatable apocalypse ever. By the finale, I was thinking, “Yeah, I’d survive this too—as long as Fast Check Liquor stays open.”
