The Ghastly Love of Johnny X

Shot on black-and-white Kodak film stock, Paul Bunnell's 1950s throwback dials up the weirdness of the already surreal genre of sci-fi B movies with showstopping musical numbers, over-the-top dialogue, and hilariously hokey special effects. Banished to Earth for intergalactic juvenile delinquency, Johnny X and his gang of Ghastly Ones set off in search of a piece of alien technology that could change the fate of the universe foreverthe so-called "resurrection suit." Soon, the extraterrestrial nogoodniks are embroiled in a wacky scheme involving a femme fatale named Bliss, a shifty concert promoter with schemes of his own, and a recently deceased musician who won't let a little decomposition stop him from rocking. Director Paul Bunnell, Composer Ego Plum & Aaron Ball (Mr. Projector) will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A. They will have a limited number of Johnny X posters to give away.
