So, I expect Skylar will post with an answer on this in no time flat….
I’m looking to find info on a movie that I believe came out between ’79 and ’81, called The Children.
A school bus full of grade-school kids drives thru a cloud of poison/radioactive mist on a lonely back road; the bus is found empty by the sherriff a short while later. Naturally, the bad fuggum in that cloud turns the kids into homicidal, black-fingernailed ghouls with the power to caustically burn human flesh on contact. The rest of the movie is pretty much just these little creeps doing the inexorable zombie-walk back into town, melting the faces of one set of thrilled-to-see-their-missing-kids parents after another as they embrace (no adult suspicion is aroused by the stiff gait, black fingernails, the pale complexion, the low moans of “Mommmmyyyyy…”).
Does this C-grade masterpiece sound familiar to anyone?
I’m looking for any info that’s out there: reviews, articles, interviews, and any info on current availability (VHS or DVD).
Thanks!
