cadillac ranch
the cadillac desert stretches for miles with old cadillacs buried halfway in the ground at a slant. they were the result of the chevy/cadillac wars that took place years ago with the chevy's being victorious. as wayne and calhoun descend deeper into the cadillac desert, a sandstorm suddenly starts and visibility is reduced to almost zero. suddenly a large object looms in front of them and they crash into it taking out wayne's chevy. suddenly the rotted faces of the dead folks appear and wayne and calhoun figure it's the end. however instead of being eaten they are led to the object that wayne recognizes as a school bus. on board they are confronted by a nun dressed in very provocative clothing armed with a shotgun. they are introduced to brother lazarus who is driving the bus. wayne observes the bus is equipped with radar and collided with them on purpose. soon they arrive at a converted theme park that used to be disneyland. wayne observes that the dead folks have strange-looking ears (mickey mouse) and a bolt sticking out of their heads. this bolt is how they are controlled by brother lazarus.
