In 1996, the budget crunched city of New York is forced to eject one third of its mental patients out into the world, leaving LaRue and his cancerous “Chronic Reading Syndrome” to fend for himself, unsupervised. He finds shelter at the derelict Love Hotel with a tourettic philosophizing roommate, a germaphobe crime scene cleaning neighbor, and her mute gum chewing daughter, Helen. In the midst of a mental health crisis, the city also finds itself terrorized by Dr. Noguchi’s escaped prehistoric Trematode God Worm that turns prey into mutated sex demons.
The first live action film to be shot and edited in digital, Frank Grow’s LOVE GOD may be the greatest lost classic of 90’s underground horror-comedy-romance ever. Each known copy along with its licensing have been missing for 20 years, leaving LOVE GOD languishing in obscurity since its 1997 Sundance debut. Until now. Beyond Basket Case, Beyond Tetsuo, Beyond Troma, Beyond Love itself. Let Frank Grow’s LOVE GOD prove that you are not crazy.
Join us 11/5 for a special screening + Q&A with filmmaker Frank Grow.

BLOOD PUMPERS RACING CLUB

“Monster Fire Baby” by the Blood Pumpers Racing Club was a Hyper-Mega Supercharged monster sex performance – complete with the world’s first (as far as I know) live burning-monster baby birth! Performed at WildChild Productions in downtown San Diego sometime in 1991. The all-star cast consisted of 16 performers divided into 4 teams, the team members all wore custom uniforms labelled with a number and a color. This is a short edit of the performance that was made to accompany an installation piece for Lollapalooza’s traveling art tent.
