Nunsploitation Heads to NYC In “Kill Sister, Kill”
Say three hail Marys and head to NYC this August for New York International Fringe Festival where a Psychotronic Hell-trip of Song, Sleaze and Revenge is headed in the shape of musical “Kill Sister, Kill!”
A nun, doing God’s work on the filthy streets of 70’s New York, reunites with her beloved sister to celebrate her wedding. Their night of revelry is despoiled by two vulgar, depraved sickos. Left for dead and robbed of her sister and her voice, the Woman of God rebuilds herself as a Weapon of Hellbent Vengeance!
The team from Toronto are currently on Indiegogo to help grease the wheels of their tour bus to get to the show on time by selling an array of merch, including lobby cards, cast recording & novelization.
We have a WICKED opportunity to showcase five (5) live back-to-back performances of Kill Sister, Kill! A Musical at the New York International Fringe Festival from August 26 – 30. Our original play will include a live band, all-based in New York.
Take a look at some of the stills form the Toronto performances along with the quotes and swag available. If you want to help them stab a crucifix through the Big Apple make a heavenly donation here.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
