Hot Wax Zombies on Wheels rolls out as this wild, low-budget horror-comedy from the late '90s, and honestly, it’s as ridiculous as the title suggests. You’ve got a sleepy little coastal town, the kind where nothing much happens unless you count fishing and gossip. Then, outta nowhere, some sleazy guys open a “state-of-the-art” hot wax salon—yep, you read that right. But plot twist: this isn’t your average spa day. The wax they’re using? It’s got some weird voodoo chemical in it, and suddenly, people start acting... not cool. Like, undead and motorcycle-obsessed not cool. Elizabeth Bergholz is in the thick of it, playing a local who’s smarter than everyone gives her credit for. She starts connecting the dots as more and more folks turn into greasy, biker-style zombies. These aren’t your slow, boring zombies either—they’re revving engines and terrorizing the town with chainsaws and a lot of questionable fashion choices. Gore? Oh, it’s cheesy, but it’s everywhere. The movie doesn’t take itself seriously for a second, and honestly, neither should you. The whole vibe is campy, full of wonky special effects, and the kind of dialogue that makes you laugh out loud at the sheer audacity. If you’re into offbeat, cult horror that’s more about laughs than scares, this flick is right up your alley. It’s weird, it’s wild, and, yeah, it’s unforgettable in its own, uh, sticky way.
