ABOUT THE FILM
What lurks under the Golden Gate Bridge in 1986?
12 mutated, possibly extraterrestrial rock ‘n’ roll monsters, that’s what! While Neon Maniacs never quite reached the vision that writer Mark Patrick Carducci had, and definitely didn’t come to fruition the way director Joseph Mangine hoped, it made it to the finish line of distribution albeit underfunded & unfinished only to become beloved despite it all.
“Gook, slime... nobody knows yet. Forensics found it all around here.”
This film earned its cult following with incredible prosthetics work and dreamlike neon visuals that make it impossible to look away from— becoming a forever time capsule of ‘80’s teen cinema with it’s slasher gore, sci-fi creatures and heavy metal aesthetic.
Experience it for yourself, one night only!
“At the battle of the bands... all Hell is about to break loose.”
