Nick Zedd’s underground horror-comedy where mad science meets punk cowboys and vampiresses.
GEEK MAGGOT BINGO
From the warped mind of underground auteur Nick Zedd comes this campy horrorfest that follows screwy scientist Dr. Frankenberry as he attempts to resurrect the dead, aided by his hunchbacked minion. Adding to the twisted fun are Donna Death as bloodsucking temptress Scumbalina, Richard Hell as punk-rock cowboy crooner the Rawhide Kid and Tyler Smith as Frankenberry’s monstrous two-headed creation, Formaldehyde Man.
From the vault: proof that horror, punk, and camp can all fit in a 74-minute fever dream.
Geek Maggot Bingo is Nick Zedd at his most gleefully unhinged—exploding mad scientist tropes with a punk rock sneer and a cast that includes semi-nude Buffys, two-headed abominations, and a bloodsucking anti-heroine. If you like your horror with a heavy dose of camp and subversive attitude, this is your late-night ticket.

Why Cult
Dr. Frankenberry’s experimentations with the dead take this film’s horror-comedy right off the rails.
Richard Hell brings wild energy as The Rawhide Kid, a genre-bending addition to Zedd’s outrageous ensemble.
Donna Death’s Scumbalina injects a delightfully trashy, bloodthirsty flair to the proceedings.
Meet The Formaldehyde Man, Frankenberry’s monstrous, hideous two-headed creation.
