“The autopsy categorically excludes an extraterrestrial being. His molecular structure includes him in the human race.” Wait! Does that mean… atomic vampires are human? Join your faithful Grue Crew – Crystal Cleveland, Bill Mulligan, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr – as they discuss Umberto Lenzi’s atomic vampire flick Nightmare City (1980, Incubo sulla città contaminata). … or is it a zombie flick?

For this episode, your 80s Grue Crew wades through the poop-covered zombies (yeah, we know they’re atomic vampires) in Umberto Lenzi’s Nightmare City (1980). Or maybe you prefer one of these titles: Attack of the Zombies? City of the Walking Dead? Invasion by the Atomic Zombies? And those are just the English titles! Lenzi uses a unique blend of zombie and vampire tropes (does that make them zompires or vambies?) that confuses some of the Grew Crew (Jeff) just a little bit. Yes, these atomic vampires/zombies are intelligent, work together, and use weapons, but they don’t seem able to talk. Thank heavens for small favors. Then there’s the ending. It’s maybe the worst (or best, depending on your point of view) ending ever, times two! Remember. We take the hits so you don’t have to.

At the time of this writing, Nightmare City (1980) is available to stream from Wicked Horror TV, Kanopy. Mometu, Flix Fling, and assorted PPV options. It is available on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode, their 300th, will be something special. As the Grue Crews from Decades of Horror Classic Era and 1970s have done, the 1980s Grue Crew will each list their favorite horror films by year for the 1980s. We’re looking forward to it. In the meantime, what are your 1980s horror favorites by year?

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].
