Movie Summary  Movie: Zombie Nightmare:  Despite the charismatic presence of Tia Carrere and Batman's Adam West, this movie is as bad as it sounds. The film begins in a vague 1950s, when a young family man is killed trying to protect a girl from an assault by two men. His young son, who witnesses his murder, grows up into a beefcakey softball player. And the girl saved from the assault? She turns to voodoo. The film zips ahead to the Eighties, and the son is struck and killed by a car driven by carousing teens. Enter voodoo lady Molly to exact revenge. She brings him back to a state of undead, and with his softball bat hunts down and kills each of the teens. Adam West enters the picture as a contemptible police chief, who is also one of the men who tried to attack the voodoo lady that day long ago, and he still has a grudge against the voodoo lady. Fraught with sexual innuendo and a pure Eighties sound track, this movie was a vanity vehicle for Jon-Mikl Thor, who plays the hunky guy turned zombie and who did some of the music with his group, Thor-kestra. — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  Crow and Servo are the Secret Service and ruthlessly protect Mike, which endangers him no end.  Segment 1:  Frank and Forrester dabble in voodoo—it's a safe, economical way to inflict evil on the world, and it's fun too! The Mads send a voodoo kit to the SOL, and Crow and Servo do nice things to people, like giving Jimmy Carter a hug.  Segment 2:  Crow settles in with a romance novel and a box of chocolates, and Servo runs him over in his red convertible.  Segment 3:  Crow and Servo relax in the hot tub; Mike pops up with a speared fish.  Segment 4:  Servo is Batman and Mike is Robin, dressed and ready to read Crow's new Batman play which he's neglected to tell them he's completely forgotten about.  Segment 5:  The Robots write letters to Adam West with their best wishes—sort of. Frank accidentally makes Dr. Forrester undead.  Stinger:  Our zombie lets it all go. Reflections In the prologue, Servo's head falls off once again but we keep the take. This was a very painful movie for us—we thoroughly, intensely, and unequivocally hated this movie. — Mary Jo Pehl ...About this Servo's-head-falling-off issue: By reading this, one would get the idea that Servo's head falls off all the time. Well, it does, but that doesn't mean anything. He's a delicate mechanism, critical parts held together with nothing more than gaffer tape or hot glue and he gets a lot of abuse. Sometimes his head is supposed to fall off, and then it remains firm as Gibraltar. Murphy's Law does apply to puppets. Besides, we have two dozen or more heads stocked up, so let 'em fall. — Kevin Murphy
