Warning: Spoilers
In NIGHTMARE AT NOON, the small town of Canyonland has been chosen as a test site for a secret government experiment. Said experiment is led by a mysterious figure known as "The Albino" (Brion James with flour on his face and hands). When a local hillbilly is reduced to dog chow, we know the government is up to no good!

Innocent vacationers (Wings Hauser and Kimberly Beck) pick up a hitchhiker (Bo Hopkins) and head into town. Stopping at a diner, the trio witnesses an incident that escalates into utter chaos and death! Normal citizens are becoming superhuman maniacs! Our heroes, joined by the sheriff and his deputy / daughter (George Kennedy and Kimberly Ross), must gun down half the populace to survive!

Soon, government operatives arrive, complete with flamethrowers! This all leads us to the big, mono y mono finale, complete with a tacked-on helicopter chase sequence!

FUN FACTS: #1- Our government can pull off a secret operation like this, yet can't manage to balance the budget! #2- The automobiles in Canyonland are made out of napalm, bursting into mushroom clouds whenever hit, even slightly!

Enjoyable 1980's cheeeze / action-schlock for the true connoisseur!...
