9- Rebel Without a Car

This is another example of a horrible first half giving way to a moderately entertaining, though pretty much unrelated, second half. The first half is "Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge" again where a guy rebuilds a car and has adventures around town with it that don't matter because he was actually dead all along. Spoiler in that last sentence, watch out for it.

The second half is a strained drama about the dead guy's girlfriend trying to get into a catty sorrority that treats her like dirt. They even mock her for having a dead boyfriend! After one humiliation too many, she takes revenge.

And it's bloody revenge, indeed- there's more blood spilled in this episode than in the R-rated NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5 (which came out around the same time). I was amazed at the brutality of something like this that was made for, and successfully aired on, TV. The censors must've not even bothered looking at late-night filler like this show.
