Synopsis by Robert Firsching
This mildly amusing horror spoof was filmed on Super-8 film by fledgling indie director Mark Pirro (Nudist Colony of the Dead). The plot concerns a swinging bachelor, Larry Smallbutt (Michael Palazzolo) who is bitten on the rear end by a transvestite "queerwolf" whom he believed was a woman. He ends up transforming into an effeminate creature with a red handkerchief and earrings. Various gay stereotypes and horror conventions are parodied, and Conrad Brooks (Plan 9 from Outer Space) appears along with Forrest J. Ackerman, longtime editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland, who plays a patient forced to ingest alcohol until he explodes. Tasteless and raunchy, the film will offend many, but those looking for a sick, offbeat comedy will enjoy Pirro's irreverence. The director returned with Deathrow Gameshow.
