The Grand Illusion

A legendary cult favorite from the director of THE DOLL SQUAD, THE CORPSE GRINDERS is a horror classic crammed full of jaw-dropping twists, mind-scrambling surprises and a self-aware sense of humor that became one of filmmaker Ted V. Mikels’ trademarks. Co-written by Arch Hall Sr. (EEGAH) and Joseph Cranston (THE CRAWLING HAND).

The Lotus Cat Food Company has hit major financial trouble and is on the verge of closing, until the owners realize they can use bodies from the local graveyard to fill their tins. As their latest product hits the shelves, it’s revealed to have an unintentional result: every cat that eats it is transformed into a bloodthirsty brute with an unending hunger for human flesh!

Plays with INTESTINES FROM SPACE (1978), a comedy short by The Langley Punks from Washington, DC. Drunken rock losers pick up hitchhiking hot babes, only to encounter hostile interplanetary innards.

Part of our annual horror series All Monsters Attack!

“…an entertaining little flick that feels as if Ed Wood directed a script by Herschell Gordon Lewis.” Alex DiVincenzo, Broke Horror Fan

“Batshit-senseless” Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine

“Fog, sweat, mold, blood, food, bums, cheesecake (not the kind you eat), fake sign language, and killer kitty-cats — all of these things spell LEGIT. …A writhing monument to independent weirdness.” Joseph A. Ziemba, Bleeding Skull
