Horror of the Hungry Humongous Hungan, Zombie in the Woods

Yep...straight to VHS Troma fare! Hey, it beats "Barry Lyndon," or "Ordinary People." Ambitious as far as a plot, which we will discuss in brief.  Also, this may be the best film ever to be shot in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Loads of babes and hunks misbehaving to Rock & Roll, engaging in pre-marital sex, and generally just being annoying. Let us delve into this mad-scientist/voodoo/zombie film from 1991, "Horror of the Hungry Humongous Hungan," directed by Randall Dininni.

Let us begin with Diana (BJ Moyer). Babe...she'll spend the entire movie screaming in fear, crying, and having nightmares. Quite the babe, but we do get tired of her. Her BF, Bradley (Joseph Miller) is a hunk who deserves a medal for putting up with her. Harry (Thomas E. Blair) is a mad scientist who creates a hungan. Hungan (David A. Yoakam)? Yep, a zombie resurrected by voodoo serum, only this zombie is put together with parts of different bodies. Thus Harry is also a grave robber. The zombie is animated in Harry's lab and murders two doctors, a janitor, two nurses, a security guard, and gets out. Now it uses its clawed hand to wipe faces off its victims or disemboweling them. Bradley and Diana will join a lot of friends, but she will keep screaming and having nightmares, anyway.

Tom (also played by Yoakam) and Karen (Barbara Tutolo) organize a rock concert for everyone and then arrange this camping trip. Oh, Angie (Rocet Singer)! Very hot! The hottest dame in this film. She wakes up in bed, clad in lingerie, with total strangers...she will be on the camping trip. You know who else, or what else will be on the camping trip? Yep! The hungan. We like the hungan...he seems so appropriate for this film. He growls, roars, wipes the faces of hunks and babes, and does that a lot. The kill count will be enormous.  Diana will continue to scream, though at the campsite she will have something to scream about. Angie?  need you ask...so sad.

Will anyone survive this camping trip?  Why isn't the hungan a household word and Jason and Michael Myers are?  Can we get someone to create a whole series of sequels centering on the romances and perils of Angie? Sadly, this was Rocet Singer's only film...though she may have moved on to be a lingerie model. See "Horror of the Hungry Humongous Hungan" and just enjoy this Troma film for the fun film it is.
