Eating Raoul

Hotel owners Paul and Mary Bland have figured out a way to score big. Mary lures swingers, fetishists and other sexual deviants into their establishment and Paul promptly and permanently checks them out. The big score comes in when the former guests wind up as dog food. But even good plans have a hitch. Raoul, the hot-blooded-emotional-crazy-chicano, who moves the soon to be dog food corpses on behalf of Paul and Mary proves to be very expendable, and editable.

Written, directed and staring cult filmmaker Paul Bartel, EATING RAOUL is considered as a cross-over film of the 1980s. Also staring Mary Woronov, famed cult actress, and Robert Beltran, who went on the best known as Commander Chakotay in Star Trek Voyager. EATING RAOUL perfectly mixes mainstream moviemaking with the raunchy irreverence of underground cinema.

Ravenous

The newly promoted Captain John Boyd has been sent to Fort Spencer in California's Sierra Nevada mountians. With only seven other people, Fort Spencer isn't quite the promotion Boyd has been waiting for. After Boyd's arrival, the fort has to investigate tales of cannibalism from a snow bound wagon train. Despite the warnings from an old Indian legend of the Wendigo , a tale of a man who tastes the flesh of another to steal that man's strength, the soldiers of Fort Spencer search out evidence of the grisly crime, only to find they've bitten off more than they can chew.

Partly inspired by the Alfred Packer story and the Donner Party legend, RAVENOUS is the perfect cannibal black comedy and stars Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, Jeffery Jones and David Arquette.

Motel Hell

It takes all kinds of critters...to make Farmer Vincent's Fritters!

You see Farmer Vincent makes the best smoked meat in the county, but for some reason the Motel Hello is always empty... The secret to Vincent’s delicious meat is human flesh. Victims are buried to their necks and fed until they are ready for harvest.

Bordering on comedy. intentional or otherwise, MOTEL HELL is another hidden cannibal classic. Come for the horror homage but stay for the chainsaw duel.

Cannibal! the Musical

The infamous Matt Stone and Trey Parker feature film debut! Since 1993 CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL has become a stage production, a Tromasterpiece and of course, a cult classic.

Not only will Cannibal deliver on the blood and gore for our Cannibal Cookout, but it will also let us see how many beers it takes to get everyone singing to Cannibal's classic songs. We expect a few people already know all the words to such classics as Let's Build a Snowman, Shpadoinkle Day and When I Was on Top of You.
