Regina: Do you have your MasterCard on you?
Samantha: No.

A rare example of an 1980s horror/fantasy film without a male lead—and without a portentous, brooding script—Night of the Comet is an irreverent, intelligent comedy/sci-fi hybrid about two Valley girls taking a fearless stand against a hungry population of killer zombies left behind by a passing comet. With the height of the action unfolding at the mall in the bright neon palette of the Eighties, Comet instantly obtained cult status upon its release.
