Our film opens in a time supposedly in the 1960s or so, showing us a softball game led by a beefy guy named Bill (played by director John Fasano). Bill's the center of activity in the community, and he's even brought his family (wife and young son Tony) to the game. Unfortunately, a couple ne'er do wells are also in attendance and decide to stalk and assault Molly Mokembe, a young Haitian woman (played by Manoushka). Bill stops the crime in progress, saving her, but the two thugs fatally stab him and flee, all in front of his son.

Like ''TheHorrorOfPartyBeach'' and ''TheIncrediblyStrangeCreatures'', this is another movie gadding about calling itself a horror musical, but unlike those two, it's got even less on which to stake the claim; there is plenty of incidental metal music on the soundtrack, but no actual musical numbers. Oh, and Creator/AdamWest is in it, too. Neat, huh?

''ZombieNightmare'' is a 1987 Canadian film starring Adam West and Jon-Mikl Thor.

Bill's the center of activity in the community, and he's even brought his family (wife and young son Tony) to the game. Unfortunately, a couple ne'er do wells are also in attendance and decide to stalk and assault Molly Mokembe, a young Haitian woman (played by Manoushka). Bill stops the crime in progress, saving her, but the two thugs fatally stab him and flee, all in front of his son.

Flash forward to the present day, and Tony is all grown up (now played by Jon-Mikl Thor), playing softball on the same field. That evening, he becomes a hero in his own right, foiling a convenience store holdup. Unfortunately, as he walks outside, he's the victim of a hit and run courtesy of a bunch of idiot kids, one of whom is the son of the thugs that killed his father.

Aggrieved, his mother decides to go for extrajudicial justice, calling upon Mokembe to do some form of [[HollywoodVoodoo voodoo]] to catch the (presumably unknown to her) culprits. This results in the animation of a zombie whom gradually hunts down not only the kids but the two thugs in the movie...one of whom is actually an upstanding pillar of the community!

Like ''TheHorrorOfPartyBeach'' and ''TheIncrediblyStrangeCreatures'', this is another movie gadding about calling itself a horror musical, but unlike those two, it's got even less on which to stake the claim; there is plenty of incidental metal music on the soundtrack, but no actual musical numbers. Oh, and AdamWest is in it, too. Neat, huh?

!!ZombieNightmare contains examples of the following tropes:

* AssholeVictim: ''Nobody'' mourns when Jim Batten is killed. That includes his parents, according to the cop (an old friend) that told them.
* BrotherSisterIncest
-->'''Waitress:''' I'm old enough to be your big sister.
-->'''Jim:''' Hey, that's cool, I always wanted to make it with my older sister!
-->'''Servo:''' Oh, so Canada has a South, too!
* CanadaEh: Park Harpell is in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.
* {{Delinquents}}
* DirtyCop: Captain Churchman, and most of his police department.
* DownerEnding: There's probably four surviving named characters.
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler: Churchman]]
-->'''Crow:''' ''(thoroughly impressed)'' '''''WOW!''''' So Hell's right there!
-->'''Servo:''' Yeah. That’s why you should call before you dig.
* ForTheEvulz: The apparent motivation for Molly being attacked in the first place, and the later hit-and-run.
* GroinAttack: Subverted. Tony attacks a thief with his groin.
* HollywoodVoodoo
* IdiotBall: The incredibly violent suspect at the police station somehow fails to be restrained by three or four officers. Captain Churchman exacerbates the situation by [[NiceJobBreakingItHero kicking the perp, enraging him]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: One of the kids is not beaten by a metal baseball bat, but '''impaled''' by it. Huh?
* JerkAss: Jim Batten, and Capt. Churchman to an extent.
* KillEmAll
* LargeHam: Shawn Levy as Jim Batten. Adam West.
* NeutralFemale: The lead's mother in the opening segment.
** The blond chick from Jim's gang, too. She's the only one who seems to have a conscience by feeling even the tiniest bit guilty about running down Tony. Yet for some reason, she receives the most brutal death out of any of the gang.
** [[UselessProtagonist Neutral Male]]: Frank.
* PlayingAgainstType: Adam West, ''Series/{{Batman}}'' himself, playing a racist thug turned DirtyCop.
* RapeAsDrama: And the abuse heaped on the ''victim'' by the police.
* TooDumbToLive: Being rock-stupid makes it laughably easy to get killed by a zombie. Here are good ways, demonstrated by three particular brain donors:
** Pass by the exit sign when being pursued by a zombie. Also make sure to stop while still in the same room as said zombie.
** Sit in your car, and don't turn it on. Also be sure to leave the door wide open.
** Hide behind a window.
* UselessProtagonist: Presumably, Frank ends up being the hero, through no extraordinary effort of his own. He was at least correct that the murders weren't caused by a common street thug.
** TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong
