alike with live performances and brutal murders featuring over

and a whole lot more.
The
film follows Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman as he tries to
maintain the tour admist a string of gristly murders while keeping
the evil record executive Belial (Played by Troma’s Lloyd
Kaufman - Creator of the Toxic Avenger) at bay. Meanwhile, tour
reporter Heather Vantress is trying to figure out who is behind
the heinous crimes as the Warped Tour crew and bands (all played
by themselves) are struggling to survive and stay on the road.

in slasher film history with entire crowds being massacred in
addition to the deaths of over 110 band members.
