A Rock and Roll, slasher/zombie comedy film produced on the 2003

performing and meeting unique gristly deaths. The film follows
Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman as he tries to maintain the
USA’s biggest touring rock festival amid a string of gristly
murders at the hands of a “Punk Executioner”, all
the 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. Punk’s not

One year after the original Punk Rock Holocaust, the demonic Executioner's
headless, undead corpse is back on the 2004 Vans Warped Tour and
it's looking for its head! On the tour there is total “Holocaust
Denial” as all of the tour production staff refutes reports
of the carnage that happened the previous year. One precocious,
nubile “Holocaust Survivor” has become a reporter
for a small independent magazine. She is determined to get to
the bottom of the story and reveal the truth to the world. Kevin
Lyman is hiding something, but why? And what?
RE-PENETRATOR
TRAILER
Horror, Erotic – 21 min - English – USA- 2004
Director: Doug Sakmann
Producer: Doug Sakmann
Cast: Joanna Angel, Tommy Pistol
A pornographic spoof of H.P Lovecraft’s 80’s horror
flick Re-Animator. Re-Penetrator is the story of a stripper who
after being dead for twenty years, is resurrected back to life
by the perverted mad scientist, Dr. Hubert Breast. Dr. Breast
vaginally injects the long-dead, but exquisitely preserved, exotic
dancer with special serum so the re-animated corpse will return
from the VIP room in hell and crave nothing but sex.
PLEASURES OF THE DAMNED
Action/Advenuture, Horror, Martial Arts - English - USA - 1979
Director: Antonello Giallo
When a group of Satan worshiping bikers seek out a book holding
the secrets of eternal life, they accidentally resurrect an ancient
evil. Private Investigator Jack Steele is the only man who might
be able to put a stop to this ancient curse. Pleasures of the
Damned first premiered in Italy in the summer of 1979, and the
director was brought up on indecency charges by the Italian government.
All copies of the film were initially presumed destroyed. Hard
to find, and long sought after at horror conventions, this campy
cult classic has finally been digitally mastered and restored.
