The Children (1980)

Many young scholars carry into adulthood the traumatic imprint of indignities suffered while riding on a school bus, but these whining eternal adolescents should simply thank God that they were not among The Children (1980). Alternately known as The Children of Ravensback, these blameless youths were guilty of nothing greater than being transported by public conveyance toward their pursuit of a “good education.” Unfortunately the route to the academy passed too close to a poorly maintained nuclear power plant, and a leak of radioactive gas transformed the pure-hearted innocents into atomic killer zombies. The therapy bills have been piling up ever since.
