They join forces with Sheriff Hanks (George Kennedy), the deputy Julia (Kimberly Ross), and former cop Reilly (Bo Hopkins) to defeat the scientist.

The Spook
 Nightmare at Noon / int_1c4e3202
comment
The Spook: Who is the albino Mad Scientist? Why does he poison the valley and why is he so obsessed with documenting the results (beyond, apparently, the shits and giggles)? Does he work for anybody? The film never answers these questions. At beat, the heroes speculate he could be from another country, but this is never confirmed. Not helping is the fact that neither the scientist nor his minions ever say a word, English or otherwise.

Every Car Is a Pinto: Several cars explode when shot or crashed into. One car explodes when a man vaults over it, even though the car seems undamaged.

Man on Fire: Sheriff Hanks gets set on fire by the scientist's goons' flamethrowers, shortly before the poison would have turned him into a killer. He runs around in flames, then throws himself into the goons' van to destroy it.

For the Evulz
 Nightmare at Noon / int_adfd3165
comment
For the Evulz: The motivation of the albino scientist is vague—the heroes presume he's a foreign agent testing out chemicals for warfare, though it's never confirmed—but his sadistic little chuckle when he has a witness killed and his fixation on watching his carnage for hours on end through a pair of binoculars certainly suggest there's nothing greater for him in this than the fun of it.
