It's the first comet to buzz the planet in 65 million years, and everyone seems to be celebrating its imminent arrival. Everyone, that is, except Regina Belmont (Catherine Mary Stewart) and her younger sister Samantha (Kelli Maroney), two women who care more about fashion trends than the celestial phenomenon. 

Upon daybreak, when they discover that they're the only residents of Los Angeles whom the comet hasn't vaporized or turned into a zombie, they do what all good Valley Girls do ... they go shopping! But when their day of malling threatens to become a day of mauling, they flee with killer zombies and blood-seeking scientists in hot pursuit!

This cult classic was directed by Thom Eberhardt (Sole Survivor, The Night Before) and features Robert Beltran, Sharon Farrell and Mary Woronov (Miss Togar from Rock 'n' Roll High School).
