Forbidden Zone (1980) Directed by Richard Elfman and starring Herve Villechaize and The Knights of Oingo Boingo
The forbidden zone is a riotous musical that takes us into the lawless Sixth Dimension by way of a large intestine. The movie follows the adventures of the Hercules family as they become embroiled in kidnapping, playing hooky, adultery, and a battle for the kingdom with satan himself (played by Danny Elfman). The sets looks like a hybrid of the german expressionist style (as in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) and the set design of Pee wee's playhouse. Whimsical costumes, curious creatures, and outrageous musical numbers populate this film from start to finish. This is one of the happiest, zaniest cult classics around, whenever I need cheering up I always reach for either 'The Forbidden Zone' or John Waters' 'Cry Baby'.
Posted this because I just got a new kitty, and named him Squeezit after my favorite Forbidden Zone character. If you haven't seen this movie I strongly advise you to do so at your earliest convenience.
