On
the
Vans 2003 Warped Tour, Backseat Conceptions produced a film called
"Punk Rock Holocaust". This
slasher/zombie comedy has something for horror movie fans, Warped
Tour fans and punkers alike with hilarious scenes and brutal murders
of 23 bands featuring Warped Tour favorites including The Used,
Andrew WK, Pennywise, Face To Face, Atmosphere, Simple Plan, Mest,
Suicide Machines, 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)
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.

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