Repo Madness: A Night At The Genetic Opera

Ordinarily this Icons of Fright staffer doesn't like the cold, traffic, or New Jersey. When this cheimaphobic writer with a small bladder and an aversion to hair gel was asked to brave all three to attend the Repo Road Tour I was less than enthused. Can a hypothermic cynic warm up Repo! The Genetic Opera, a gore-laden goth rock musical from the director of Saw II, III & IV starring Paris Hilton? Well, when the evening turns out to be an energetic and campy celebration, with 500 plus obsessed and cheering fans in attendance, the answer is a surprising yes.
The show at the Williams Art Center in Rutherford, NJ kicked off with an introduction by Bloody-Disgusting's Spooky Dan, who has been a tireless advocate of the movie since it's first run in L.A. this past fall. Spooky D got the crowd warmed up by bringing out a sassy little dancer

A Bloody Good Third Place Finish

So...how'd the first R-rated 3D horror film in nearly 30 years make out this weekend? My Bloody Valentine 3D opened in 3rd place this weekend, according to Box Office Mojo with an estimated gross of $21.9 million. While fans may be disappointed it did not best Paul Blart: Mall Cop, this is not one of those "limped into 3rd place" box-office stories. Valentine comes out in a crowded weekend with 4 major new releases, including another family movie Hotel For Dogs and Notorious, which it beat. Coming in 2nd was Gran Torno, which only beats My Blood Valentine by less than 400k. Keeping in mind the limited number of screens available for the digital 3D experience, as well as the fact that we're in holiday weekend, means this film will likely have legs beyond it's opening.
My Bloody Valentine 3D was directed by Patrick Lussier (Dracula 2000) from a script by Todd Farmer
