“Would you look at Lumpy! He’s sure grown, huh? And I think his voice is changing!”
George Lucas and his intergalactic entourage don’t stand a chance when St. Louis Shakespeare’s The Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre takes them on in December. The uber-talented Smoking Monkeys adapt a cult film (or TV show) into an onstage farce once a year. Plan 9 From Outer Space, Reefer Madness, Glen Or Glenda, The Star Wars Trilogy, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Stupefy!: The 90-minute Harry Potter, and last year’s Mad Max – Live! have all been the victims of sidesplitting, Pythonesque parody courtesy of The Smoking Monkeys. This time these lunatic thespians are calling their show The Making Of The Star Wars Holiday Special! – A Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre 20th Anniversary Special!
And rumor has it that Charles Bronson will be making an appearance hawking Mandom Cologne!!! It doesn’t get any better than that!

St. Louis Shakespeare’s The Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre adapts a cult film into an onstage farce once a year. Previous adaptions have included Pan 9 From Outer Space, Reefer Madness, Glen Or Glenda, and The Star Wars Trilogy (!!). Last year they helped celebrate Vincentennial, the Vincent Price 100th Birthday Celebration with a stage presentation of one of the home town horror star’s classics: The Abominable Dr. Phibes in 3D, a sidesplitting, Pythonesque parody.
This year, in conjunction with the St. Louis Science Center’s Star Trek – The Exhibition, the uber-talented Smoking Monkeys are presenting the all-new hilarious spoof Star Trek – Live! Two classic episodes of the original series will be lambasted: In The Gamesters of Triskelion Captain Kirk is played by Jim Ousley, Mr. Spock is played by Ed Cole, and Shanha, played on the show by the late cult actress Angelique Pettyjohn (known to Trekkie geeks as The Bustiest Alien in the Galaxy!

Big congrats to the St. Louis-based filmmakers over at Crunchy Cool Films. They’ve scored a major casting coup by securing three A-list horror villains for their upcoming shocker The Bloodfest Club which starts filming in our town soon. Horror vets Bill Moseley, Michael Berryman, and William Forsythe have all signed on for roles in the film!
Bloodfest Club will be the second film from the writing team of Oscar Madrid and Jim Ousley. Their first, Hooch & Daddy-O (2005), was an award-winning mock documentary (available on Netflix). about a fictional 80′s cop show. Bloodfest Club will mark the directorial debut of Madrid and stars writer Ousley as Sonny Kane, a slow-witted, Chuck Norris-obsessed janitor at a High School that takes on a bloodthirsty alien roaming the hallways killing students.
Moseley will star as Dr. Colin Dante, the sinister history professor in search of lost artifacts on campus. Berryman will play Sensei Noddy Donigan,...

Anyone who saw the Late Night Grindhouse screening of Hobo With A Shotgun at The Hi-Pointe Theater a couple of weeks ago saw the big-screen premiere of the trailer for Bloodfest Club that played before the feature. Bloodfest Club exists at this time only as a trailer, but the filmmakers are hoping the positive buzz the trailer is generating will help raise money to finance a feature-length version of the film. Bloodfest Club will be the second film from the writing team of Oscar Madrid and Jim Ousley. Their first, Hooch & Daddy-o, was an award-winning mock documentary (available on Netflix). about a fictional 80′s cop show directed in 2005 by Donna Northcott (who directed the recent Abominable Dr. Phibes stage show that was part of Vincentennial). Bloodfest Club will mark the directorial debut of Madrid and stars writer Ousley as Sonny Kane, a slow-witted, Chuck Norris-obsessed janitor at a High...
