Cannibal: The Musical
CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL tells the true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alfred Packer. The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip to the Colorado Territory, he recounts his side of the harrowing tale to news reporter Polly Prye as he awaits his execution. The story goes like this: While searching for gold and love in the Rocky Mountains, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unspeakable horrors, including rousing musical numbers! Packer and his five wacky buddies sing and dance their way into your heart… and then take a bite out of it! CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL is like OKLAHOMA meets BLOODSUCKING FREAKS.
Psychomania (1993, dir. Don Sharp)
American gave motorcycle-mad cinemagoers EASY RIDER, THE WILD ONE and THE WILD ANGELS. Aand Britain gave them PSYCHOMANIA, a tale of zombie bikers run amok that feels like an alt-Earth version of SUSPIRIA. Meet the Living Dead, a co-ed biker gang terrorizing a small English village. That is, until their longhair leader discovers the secret of eternal life under the guidance of his frog-worshipping occultist mother. Directed by Hammer veteran Don Sharp (THE KISS OF THE VAMPIRE)—and with character names like Hatchet and Chopped Meat, spectacular low budget effects, and a ghoulish ambient psych score—PSYCHOMANIA delivers the goods.
The Black Roses (1988, dir. John Fasano)
From the director of ROCK ’N’ ROLL NIGHTMARE comes a different kind of heavy metal madness! All hell breaks loose when the metal band Black Roses kicks off their tour by making a deal with the Devil himself. As the headbanging teens in the crowd begin turning into bloodthirsty demons and the body count starts rising, it’s up to their teacher to restore order to their small town. A prime piece of 80s Satanic Panic canon, BLACK ROSES features an all-metal soundtrack with original music by Lizzie Borden and, as the original video box boasted, “BLOODSHED, RIOTS, and horrible MASS MURDERS!”
