Chicago-area filmmaker Scott Grenke’s infamous splatter comedy from 1989. When five teens throw a BBQ for their reanimated friend, a singing and dancing Executioner serves up more blood than ketchup. With five original songs, practical effects and hemorrhaging with dark humor, this classic is now available and licensed on VHS for the first time in 19 years (31 years since its Cablecom debut).

"They Didn't Invite Me, So They're Gonna Die' This is low-budget, SOV filmmaking which perfectly embodies the late-80's. There's really nothing like this movie, either! Five songs, sitcom-length and packed with gags, gore, singing and dancing. An executioner who isn't invited to parties shows up uninvited and slaughters all party guests. As a result, the police put a ban on partying. When a murdered friend is resurrected inexplicably, his friends throw him a 'picnic', but you-know-who didn't get the memo and made sure they paid for their oversight! This debuted in 1989 on a cable access station in Chicago and fell into obscurity until director Scott Grenke dubbed some VHS tapes and peddled them at a local comicon. The tapes didn't sell well and he abandoned ship. In 2020, Black VVideo reissued it officially on VHS.
