This campy necromance tells the tale of an innocent couple who stumble upon a remote graveyard and witness a horrific spectacle – a festival of the walking dead. Shirley and Bob soon discover that these damned souls not only walk, but dance for the enjoyment of the Emperor of the Dead and his cohort the Princess of Darkness. The Emperor passes judgment on all who dance and woe to the poor soul who displeases him. Before they are able to flee, Shirley and Bob are captured by the Mummy and Wolfman and forced to face their own judgment before the Emperor.
If you’re a fan of Burlesque, horror, sexploitation, b-movies or just plain fun you’ll love this feature production from Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society. The eighteen member, all star cast will make you squirm in your seats.
