Der Komet
"Night of the Comet" developed a cult following in the years after its release. Keith Phipps of "The Dissolve" wrote that the film's cult following comes from how matter-of-factly it treats its weird premise. The film was voted number 10 in Bloody Disgusting's Top 10 Doomsday Horror Films in 2009. Maroney's character was an influence on Joss Whedon when he created Buffy Summers of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".
