It wasn't until a good half-way through Jerome Sable's horror-musical comedy Stage Fright did I realize I'd been grinning like a damned fool the whole time.
A musical summer camp, hilariously run by Meat Loaf, becomes the latest setting for a masked killer to extract his bloody criticism on musical theatre. The idea of plot and characters seemed to be thrown out to leave more room for outrageous humor, overly dramatic showtunes (with some Iron Maiden-esque screeching for good measure) and buckets of blood by the gallons. When it's this much goofy fun it really doesn't matter how bad it truly is.
