Midnight movie cult favorite musical fantasy directed by Richard Elfman of Oingo Boingo fame and co-written by Elfman and Matthew Bright, who wrote FREEWAY, a favorite of mine. This project was originally envisioned as an avant-garde theatre project for the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, the initial incarnation of major 1980s band Oingo Boingo. What a family! Richard Elfman is brother to Danny Elfman, my favorite screen composer since Bernard Herrman. And he's actress Jenna Elfman's father in-law and Bridget Fonda's brother in-law. "Prepare to enter the Sixth Dimension, a deliriously insane world of frog butlers, topless princesses, machine-gun toting school teachers, chicken boys and the devil himself (Danny Elfman), all ruled by the lascivious midget King Fausto (Herve Villechaize - Tattoo on FANTASY ISLAND) and his deranged Queen (Susan Tyrrell). A feast of visual and aural delights, reaching new found heights of insanity, invention and questionable taste. Propelled by the incredible songs of the one and only Danny Elfman, FORBIDDEN ZONE is an experience like no other. The all time cult classic returns with an eye popping new high definition widescreen transfer."
