This show sold out the Coolidge's upstairs theatre and was moved to the larger downstairs theatre....which also totally filled up with zombies! It was seriously SO COOL to see the freezing streets of Brookline LOADED with gory undead, roaming around for hours before the show started. My own illustration students even came out in costume!

Black Ocean presents:
J. CANNIBAL'S FEAST OF FLESH
featuring Lucio Fulci's horror film classic: ZOMBIE plus undead tag-team wrestling from LA GATA NEGRA with live music by GEIN & THE GRAVEROBBERS
All seats $10
Real-life undertaker and long time zombie fanatic J. Cannibal - dubbed by the Boston Phoenix as the King of horror burlesque - presents a gruesome banquet of midnight mayhem!
This frightful night of fun kicks off with the dead-alive sounds of Gein and the Graverobbers. These four graveyard ghouls are hell-bent on playing the most terrifying surf songs the mortal world has ever heard! Throwing down with undead fury during their Satanic set, will be the reanimated corpses of La Gata Negra: League of Masked Lady Wrestlers, which boasts a bevy of masked beauties who know how to kick, choke, and powerbomb their way into your hearts. If there’s any blood left in these ladies by the time they hit the mat, you can be sure it will be spilled!
For our feature film, Mr. Cannibal has hand-picked Lucio Fulci’s audacious
1979 masterpiece of gore, ZOMBIE. The inspiration for most of the 80s splatter-fests, Fulci's film features nauseating special effects, including such unforgettable scenes as a close-up eye gouging on a splinter of wood, and an underwater wrestling match between a zombie and a shark.
Free gory goodie bags will be handed out to all, and J. Cannibal will be awarding a number of prizes for the best zombie costumes! Brought to you by the creative minds of Black Ocean, this will be a show of insanity from beyond the grave that you don’t want to miss!
