Teenagers land on an island where an evil female scientist is making zombies.

Question and answer time, folks.

Q: Is that Jerry Warren’s name I see under the “Produced and Directed by” credit?
A: Yes, it is.

Q: Are there any teenage zombies?
A: Yes. Any teenager watching this movie will most likely have become a zombie by the time the movie is over.

Q: I mean, in the movie?
A: Despite the fact that I’ve seen several sources claim there are no teenage zombies in the movie, I would like to point out that the two girls are exposed to the zombie gas, and do indeed become zombies for a few moments, so, yes, there are teenage zombies in the movie. It might be a little hard to tell; outside of not saying anything for a couple of minutes, they don’t act any different than they did when they weren’t zombies.

Q: Are there any long, boring, talky static scenes in the movie?
A: It has Jerry Warren’s name in the credits; what do you think?

Q: Does Don Sullivan sing “Laugh, Children, Laugh” in the movie?
A. No. (See, I did have something nice to say about the movie.)

Q: Why is the sheriff’s office in an empty wood panelled room with only an uncomfortable looking window through which you can talk to one of his men?
A. Because it’s a Jerry Warren movie.

Q: Why does the movie go on for another six minutes after it’s ended?
A: See the above answer.

Q: Just how exciting is horseback riding?
A: Considering that this comment elicits more energy out of the cast than anything else in the movie, I’d say plenty; however, it could be they were just celebrating the movie being over.

Q: Why is my print three minutes short?
A: Don’t ask; just be thankful that there are forces of mercy in this world.
