Name that film!

I'm doing some research on zombie films for a paper that I'm writing. I'm having a hard time remembering the name of one film in particular (I might possibly have to rent or buy it so that I can watch it).

I remember seeing this movie a few times on HBO or Cinemax when I was a kid, but unfortunately, I only remember bits and pieces of the movie.

I've even scoured IMDB, and a list of zombie movies on wikipedia. Nothing has jogged my memory so far.

So, here's what I think I remember:
- The film was made in the late 80's to early 90's.
- The film had two young protagonists, one male, and the other female.
- Four young adults, at least two of them were male and at least one was female, all died after some sort of car accident. I think their car might have plunged off a bridge...?
- I think the victims and the protagonists were all supposed to go to a prom or dance, because I think they were all dressed in suits and dresses.
- The four accident victims became zombies. I don't remember how... I think it had something to do with their bodies being "electrocuted" back to life.
- I remember a scene inside the coolers of the morgue where the four victims' bodies were stored. The male protagonist had to climb inside for some odd reason. I think this is where one of the male victims moved or opened his eyes or something, and startled the male protagonist.
EDIT: I just remembered one more thing about the scene I just mentioned: the male protagonist then went and told someone that one of the bodies had moved. This person (I don't even remember if it was male or female) then tried to tell him that it was the body thawing (...?). The person then held one of the corpse's hands above a cigarette lighter, and the corpse's hand loosened as it thawed (...?). (Wierd... I have no idea why I suddenly just remembered that...)

- I remember, one of the female victims had dark hair, and a black dress. She ended up getting her head split open with an axe by the female protagonist, who then said something along the lines of "take that bitch" or "stupid bitch".
- I remember, one of the male zombies had a horribly mangled face.
- I don't remember what the plot was. I seem to remember the title possibly having the words "night", or "creeps", or "freaks" in it. I thought it might have been "Night of the Creeps", but based on the information I found on IMDB, I don't remember the movie I'm thinking of having anything to do with alien brain parasites turning people into zombies.
- As a matter of fact, the only cast I remember this movie having was the two protagonists, and the four zombies.

Hopefully someone has seen this movie, and can tell me the title. I know my clues are awfully vague, but I tried to be as detailed as possible.
