Yes! Thank you so much! The wikipedia page's summary pretty much matched the beginning of my summary to a T, but I kinda combined the Con's role and another blander dude's into the ramntic interest. Thank you again. I used to love it as a kid for whatever reason. Probably because the effects of radiation are a little off and I understood it much less.
Actually, I looked into it further and the version I saw was instead In the Year 2889, which was the reboot to Day the World Ended, but your reply led me to it just the same! So, still thank you.

Movie starts with a father and his visiting daughter up in a mountain house by a lake and they hear on the radio that a nuclear bomb has striked down below. The daughter is worried because her poor fiance is still traveling up. They hear a knock on the door expecting him and the daughter almost rushes to it, but the father stops her and pulls out a shotgun. He tells her to stay back as he slowly opens the door. He opens the door to find a group of people including a perverted moonshiner, a blonde lady, an ex-con, and some other people I don't remember. They plead to come in, afraid of the effects of the nuke. With the daughter's coaxing, the cautious father relents and lets them in. Together they start to worry, dance, and generally bond in the cheesy black and white sci-fi horror movie way. Eventually through the days, the fiance still missing the father tries to keep them all inside food in the cellar. The father does eventually go out in the woods to check rabbit traps, and he finds that some sort of creature ate it. Then in a long series of scenes every one except for the ex-con, the father, and the daughter die. The moonshiner tries to make moonshine in a river, cut to monter POV, moonshiner stumbles and is dead. Blondie clears leaves from hidden pool and goes swimming, monster pov, and she gets drowned. This continues until most are dead. Eventually the daughter goes over a bridge, is attacked by an ugly, prosthetic faced monster in a tuxedo. She exclaims that it is her fiance, and he begins to attack her. Ex-con and father come to begin to rescue her, but the rain pouring down and making the monster's skin burn is what finally scares it away. I think in the end Ex-con and daughter fall in love while father also remains with them. Credits roll. It was in a disk pack of three other old sci-fi movies, one I remember involving a scientist in a time macine that was basically a room with a wall of flashing squares for a moniter, and a room wallpapered in tinfoil.
