The Forbidden Zone

The Forbidden Zone


Finally - one of my fave midnight movies from my youth (and there were a lot of them) is out on DVD. The Forbidden Zone was an epic underground film that had combined b-movie camp, Max Fleischer surrealism, Cab Calloway and deranged Jazz Era excess, and LA New Wave comic-book design aesthetics that would later give rise to Oingo Boingo and other Swing/Ska revivalists (Cab Calloway is a force unto himself truth betold). In any case - I have the DVD now, so I'm going to have a late night showing at my place sometime soon if anyone cares to RSVP.

(*And yes, for those interested, that's Tatoo above...)
