The Bastard Love Child Of…Theatre of Blood and Books of Blood!
Young Enola Penny finds herself becoming strangely obsessed with a seemingly long-abandoned theatre in a run-down neighbourhood near where she lives. One night, she finds the front door of the theatre standing open. The invitation to explore is more than she can resist. And there, in the dark, seedy auditorium, to her surprise and growing horror, she discovers that a nightmarish freak show is about to begin…
Grimm’s Eye View: Resurrecting and retooling the classic horror anthology film for a new generation of ghouls, this is one trip to the theatre you won’t want to miss. Six startling stories by six cult directors, each offering their spooky, sick or plain surreal spin on the sort of sour and sardonic morality tales that got those infamous EC Horror Comics boycotted, banned and burned back in the Frightful ‘Fifties.
Torrid tales of Lust, Greed, Guilt, Paranoia, the Terrors of Childhood, and that old favourite, Injury to the eyeball! Ah, now that takes us back…
