Bloody musicals… Here is the old school poster and first red band trailer for musical comedy horror STAGE FRIGHT starring Meat Loaf and Minnie Driver.
In what looks like PHANTOM OF THE OPERA directed by Dario Argento, this blood soaked romp tells the story of a kabuki mask wearing killer terrorising a snobby musical theatre camp. Camp being the operative word. There are lots of quips, creative slayings and enjoyable references to it’s forebears; Meat Loaf was in the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and Driver was in the movie adaptation of PHANTOM. It is written and directed by cult short film maker Jerome Sable, most famous for goofball musical slash-fest the THE LEGEND OF BEAVER DAM, to which STAGE FRIGHT is a spiritual sequel. Looks like fun.
STAGE FRIGHT also stars Allie MacDonald and is released in the US on 3rd April. No UK release date as yet but we’ll jeep you posted. Now sing your heart out!

“In what looks like PHANTOM OF THE OPERA directed by Dario Argento…” um, it looks nothing like that, if you’ve seen Argento’s PHANTOM.
This however looks like fun. Love the poster
