Segment by Nancy Meyers for The Academy Awards on 2/25/07

Wikipedia: "Can't Stop the Music is a musical comedy film directed by Nancy Walker in 1980. It is a pseudo-biography of disco's Village People which bears no resemblance to the actual story of the group's formation.

Released well after the disco craze had peaked in the United States, the film was a major critical and commercial failure and only did well in Australia. Since its initial failure, however, Can't Stop the Music has gained something of a cult status as a camp film. Can't Stop the Music was the recipient of the first "Worst Picture" award at the 1980 Golden Raspberry Awards."

Synopsis: "Set in a world of iron dirigibles and steam powered computers, this gothic horror mystery tells the story of Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator who flees his Plague-ridden home on a desperate voyage to redeem himself.

A clip from this extremely rare classic, made for tv, horror film.

Hysteria lives: "These days it's difficult to imagine a time when there were any made-for-TV horror movies, let alone ones which approached greatness. Without a doubt the 70's were the era for classic TV horror movies, but a few gems emerged during the early 80's, too. DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW is one such film; a slow burning, fantastically creepy small screen tale."

The international site is finally online! Check out the music-section and listen to some tracks from the excellent soundtrack by Monomango.

Shirts and buttons with killer-designs will be available soon. Yes, that's right, the boys also started a fashion-label. Wait until you see the "guitar and Uzi"-shirt and the collectable buttons!

"Have you ever seen Bugs Bunny perform bizarre oral acts on himself? Have you ever seen Minnie Mouse ravage an array of huge phallic symbols? Alice does it -- In Vince Collins' sexually hysterical cartoon..."

"The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society presents its all new silent film of The Call of Cthulhu. The famed story is brought richly to life in the style of a classic 1920s silent movie, with a haunting original symphonic score."
