Musical film fusion event "The Devil's Carnival" coming to Tulsa Friday
After the triumphant collaboration on 2008’s “Repo! The Genetic Opera,” a film hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as “the next Rocky Horror Picture Show,” director Darren Lynn Bousman (“Saw II-IV”) and writer/actor Terrance Zdunich are exploring Hell with the musical film fusion event “The Devil’s Carnival.”
Following 40 successful multi-city shows, the pair are redefining the film industry’s normal distribution model, kicking off a second 24-city tour at Comic-Con that includes a Tulsa premiere at 11:55 p.m. Friday at the Hollywood Theatres Promenade Palace 12, 4107 S Yale Ave.
The interactive show will feature a live slideshow performance, costume contest, never-before-seen footage of “Rep! The Genetic Opera,” “The Devil’s Carnival” screening, and a Q&A with Bousman and Zdunich.
In “The Devil’s Carnival,” sinners are invited to a theme park where they endure the repetition of their transgressions. What chances do a conniving kleptomaniac, a gullible teenager, and an obsessed father stand when facing their own moral failings? Lucifer and his colorful cast of singing carnies invite you to find out.
“The Devil’s Carnival” features 12 original songs, written by Zdunich and Saar Hendelman, directed by Bousman, produced by Sean E Demott and Joseph Bishara (“Insidious”), and stars Victoriandustrial rocker Emilie Autumn, Dayton Callie (“Sons Of Anarchy,” “Deadwood”), M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan (of the Grammy Award-winning, cult metal giants Slipknot), Briana Evigan (“Step Up 2″), Sean Patrick Flanery (“The Boondock Saints”), Maggie “Captain Maggots” Lally and The Blessed Contessa (of The Bloody Crumpets), J LaRose (“Insidious”), Jessica Lowndes (“90210″), Mighty Mike Murga (of Mini Kiss), internet star Hannah Minx, Ivan Moody (of the chart-topping heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch), Bill Moseley (“The Devil’s Rejects”), Ogre (of the legendary industrial band Skinny Puppy), Marc Senter (“The Lost”), Paul Sorvino (“Goodfellas”), Alexa Vega (“Spy Kids”), and Zdunich.
