After their school bus inadvertently passes through a cloud of toxic gas, a gaggle of unfortunate pre-teens are turned into radioactive zombies with killer hugs. Sharing many of the same crew as Friday the 13th (with which it was shot back-to-back), this deliciously depraved mash-up of Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and Cronenberg’s The Brood is a criminally underrated exploitation classic.
