Howling At The Full Moon - ”Shrunken Heads”

On our show, "Howling At The Full Moon" for our 23rd episode we're going for a real classic Paramount era flick with the 1994 sci-fi/horror gem "SHRUNKEN HEADS" directed by the incomparable Richard Elfman (director of Forbidden Zone and founding member of Oingo Boingo). Shrunken Heads is a tale of a trio of NYC kids who are killed by thugs and later brought back to life as reanimated shrunken heads to exact their revenge. It's part musical, part horror, a dash of science fiction with a sprinkling of crime thriller brought to us in the wacky way as only Elfman can.  Join regular hosts Cameron Scott and Dustin Hubbard as they take a deep dive review on this Full Moon classick.

This is the 23rd episode in a series of shows all about Charles Band's Full Moon Entertainment Empire where we've got mad scientists, sci-fi epics, and rabid clowns all in one place! When you need a break from reality, let our hosts guide you through the madhouse of bloodthirsty vampires, psychopathic cookies, and maniacal puppets. Don't be a squid and join us in the fun!

The camp's tranquility is broken by violence and fear once they discover an old bunker and tunnel complex and the diseased humans that occupy them.
