Flames! Tidal waves! Terror!

_

Its not too late, with love we can climb
It's not too late, not while we're living ...


Before Netflix, the Hallmark Channel and Dancing with the Stars, the best hope for any washed-up star was a big disaster flick.

In two clever mash-ups, fun-makers paste  screaming disaster scenes over the big power ballads Maureen McGovern belts under the closing credits.

The resulting two-minute clips are unintentionally goofy.

Above, a cruise liner flips upside down in The Poseidon Adventure and stars scramble, like rats. Water, fire, hysteria!

Below, a skyscraper explodes in flames and crowds of familiar faces spin in helpless terror in The Towering Inferno. Cheese-y effects, panic!

All while Maureen sings …

Let's leave a mark, a candle in the dark
But thru the days, beyond the haze
I don't know just where or when
I'm sure … we'll love again.
