Does anyone remember this surprise horror hit from 1979? I begged my mother to let me see it, but no...I was only seven and horror movies about zombie kids who kill their parents by hugging them to death and the only way to kill them is to chop their hands off was strictly verboten.
And yes, someone is musicalizing it!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 7/4/06 at 3:26pmNow if it were a musical of "All My Children" I'd think about seeing it. Not sure if we need another horror musical after "Lestat".

Posted: 7/4/06 at 3:29pmThe horror musical genre hasn't been terribly successful thus far.

"Seeking actors with strong sense of comic timing who rock out vocally,"
This looks like not only a horror musical, but also a rock one. I hate to be a pessismist, but I vote that it'll never see Broadway.
