Blood Shed Theater: Jack-O (1995)

  • We Luv Video 100 North Loop Boulevard East Austin, TX, 78751 United States (map)

Mister Jack will snap your spine, and cut you in half with a scaly vine. Then just quick before you die, mister Jack will steal your eyes.

This October Blood Shed Theater is teaming up with Rockin' Bones Events to bring you a uniquely 90's Halloween Fever Dream.

Produced by Blood Shed hero Fred Olen Ray, JACK-O is an ode to the best things that this season has to offer; a child with a great destiny who's babysitter happens to be scream queen, Linnea Quigley, a witch in a cool sweater who's definitely down to hang, parents who care more about their garage halloween haunt than their kiddo, bad teenagers in leather jackets with sick motorcycles, Cameron Mitchell hitting you with some rhyming couplets, John Carradine sitting in a field reciting ominous oaths (because they didn't have the budget to pay him his standing up rate), and, of course, the greatest almost-but-not-quite kid friendly pumpkin headed scythe wielding murder guy. It is also, essentially, the story of a hundred year witch curse on a small town which involves the titular pumpkin man, but this can be a bit difficult to work out at times- and that's totally OK!

JACK-O is a beautiful, surreal romp, intercut with fake horror hosts and movies shot to bolster the cast and add to the vibes, which makes you long for that CRT and to go back to 1994, when the fake spiders were plentiful, and everything was right with the universe.
