High School Adapts ‘BioShock’ Into a Musical, With Amazing Results [Watch]
So, remember New Jersey’s North Bergen High School doing their own adaptation of Ridley Scott’s Alien a few years back? Well, how about a high school doing a BioShock musical?
Spotted by Eurogamer, the Powerhouse choir from John Burroughs High School in California performed their musical interpretation of 2K Games’ acclaimed shooter as part of the Hart Encore 2022 show choir competition. Needless to say, the Powerhouse choir hit it big, winning awards like Best Musicianship, Showmanship, and Soloist.
BioShock characters Andrew Ryan, Brigid Tenenbaum, and Sander Cohen were all featured in the musical, which didn’t exactly follow the entirety of the game’s story. It did, however, feature a performance of CCR’s “Proud Mary” with the line “rolling underwater” swapped in. Plus, it did replicate the 1950’s stylings from the game, so points for that.
It’s all prep for the upcoming BioShock movie on Netflix, which is being produced by Vertigo Entertainment and Take Two. And of course, if you need your fix of the game on film, you can always rewatch Dan Duthie‘s fan film “The Interrogation of Timmy H.“.
Meanwhile, 2K Games is still at work on their return to the series, with the game rumoured to be coming out later this year.

The art of dying brings us to life…
“The Terrifier franchise gave us Art the Clown, the greatest new horror icon in decades,” says Spencer Charnas. “We are beyond honored by the invitation to play within the viciously delightful universe Damien Leone and his incredible team have created. The Art and INK fanbases are one and the same, and we heard the screams for this collaboration loud and clear.”
“A Work of Art” is directed by longtime INK collaborator Jensen Noen and stars Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), Leah Voysey (Terrifier 2), Sirius XM’s Jose Mangin and Vincent Rockwell, Richard Christy (Drummer for Death, Control Denied, and Charred Walls of the Damned), and System of a Down’s Shavo Odadjian.
The 7-minute long video features special FX by Emmy Award-winning effects artist Christopher Nelson (“American Horror Story,” Suicide Squad, Halloween Ends). The video is written by Spencer Charnas, Andrew Justin Smith, and Paul Soter, with music by Ice Nine Kills, WZRD BLD, Paul Wiley, and Francesco Ferrini. Lyrics by Spencer Charnas and Steve Sopchak, based on characters created by Damien Leone. Art the Clown make-up effects provided by Heather Albert. Executive Produced by Spencer Charnas, Mike Mowery, Chris Nilsson, Eric German, Phoenix Vaughn, Damien Leone, Phil Falcone, and Ruth Deveraux. Casting provided by Cast A Spell Casting.
On the strength of their 2021 billboard-topping album, “Welcome To Horrorwood,” Ice Nine Kills recently wrapped up their world tour with Metallica and successfully hosted their third annual fan convention, Silver Scream Con.
Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone (Terrifier, Terrifier 2) and produced by Phil Falcone, stars David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Krsy Fox, Jason Patric, Chris Jericho, and Daniel Roebuck as Santa Claus. It arrives in theaters everywhere on October 11.
