The Dead Pit (1989)

Zombies have replaced the atomic bomb as our collective unconscious’ boogeyman. And when the undead are drooling for pretty flesh there’s just nothing better. In The Dead Pit (1989), that tempting appetizer is served by nude-comer Cheryl Lawson. She’s locked up in a mental institution with a mad doctor buried deep in the foundation who is raising a dead army. Even with all the close-ups of lobotomies and flesh dissolving under the blast of holy water, the most disgusting creature is a crazy candy striper with a sadistic streak and a love of water sports. In the signature skin scene, she hoses down Cheryl for an unintentional striptease that’s anything but the pits.
