The Penny Dreadful Picture Show
Don't be afraid; it's only your life
Directed by Leigh Scott, Eliza Swenson, Nick Everhart
Produced by Palace Imaginarium, Phase 4 Films
A campy, playful horror anthology wrapped in a framing device of quirky undead hosts, blending genre pastiche with tongue-in-cheek irreverence.
Daffy undead gal Penny Dreadful, her smitten zombie buddy Ned, and lycanthrope Wolfboy relate three tales of terror in an old rundown movie theater: A young couple find themselves being stalked by a lethal jack-in-the-box in "Slash-in-the-Box;" mousy young lady Alice tries to figure out what exactly happened to her last night in "The Morning After;" and a group of friends encounter an eccentric backwoods family after their van breaks down in the middle of nowhere in "The Slaughter House."
