"Blood Drips on Newsies Square" is a hilarious, homemade, horror-movie spoof that several of the Newsies filmed during their down time on the set of Newsies.
It was directed my Michael Goorjian (Skittery). As far as the premise goes, basically Mark David (Specs) plays actor Don Knotts, who goes on a killing spree after director Kenny Ortega denies him a role in Newsies and kicks him off of the set.
This little gem surfaced a little over a year ago. I'm not sure if this is entirely accurate, but apparently Michael Goorjian found this movie while going through some old tapes, allowed his friend to put it up for sale on the internet, and was amazed at how much it sold for and how many interested buyers there were. As a result, it was put up for sale on www.blooddripsonnewsiessquare.com
If you're a fan of Newsies, you'll love this short film. Those innocent, singing and dancing newsboys are portrayed in an entirely different light. In short, it's just a bunch of talented teenage guys messing around and having fun. Definitely check it out if you can.
ETA- There's also an IMDB listing for this.
