She-Rantulas from Outer Space in 3D!!
Phil Johnson and Ruff Yeager world premiered their "fartire" ("a combination of farce and satire") last November. A spoof of B-horror movies of the Fifties, the script was at times hilarious but long-ish. The revised version now runs 140 minutes, with an intermission, and makes for a much smoother, and funnier ride. Monster mutants -- are they tarantulas? -- invade Tarrytown, USA, in 1957 and, poor, put-upon Betty (Johnson) must face the truth about evil daughter Suzie and "destroy her web of terror." Johnson's a hoot, as are Tony Houck (Suzie), Fred Harlow (Fred/ Freida), and Andy Collins (Harry/Harriet). And Melinda Gilb's a special hoot. She plays six (or seven?) distinct, and distinctly funny roles to perfection. [Note: "the management requests that you PLEASE not reveal the SHOCKING final scene to friends or family members, and guarantee to BURY YOU without charge if you die of FRIGHT during the performance"]. Just FYI.
Worth a try.
