Unfortunately Richard Stanley is no longer able to attend Celluloid Screams, however, he has recorded an exclusive message for festival-goers that will be played before the screening of The Theatre Bizarre.
The spirit of the Grand Guignol Theatre is alive and well in THE THEATRE BIZARRE…
Please take your seats, the show is about to begin...
A young woman creeps into a seemingly-abandoned theatre in her neighborhood at night and encounters a creepy human puppet (played by genre veteran Udo Kier) who takes her on a journey through six tales of the bizarre and the fantastic:
A couple traveling in a remote part of the French Pyrenees cross paths with a lustful witch; A paranoid lover faces the wrath of a partner who has been pushed to her limit; The Freudian dreams of an unfaithful husband blur the lines between fantasy and reality; The horrors of the real world are interpreted through the mind of a child; A woman addicted to other people’s memories gets her fix through the vitreous fluid of her victims’ eyeballs; And a couple’s perverse obsession with sweets turns sour.
Please note: the start time for this film has moved from 7pm to 7.30pm.
