Black Ocean Presents
J. CANNIBAL’S FEAST OF FLESH
featuring the legendary classic EVIL DEAD
plus special guests BLACK CAT BURLESQUE
with live music by BAD ASH
Saturday September 29th / Midnight / $10
Real-life undertaker and long time zombie fanatic J. Cannibal—dubbed the King of Horror Burlesque—presents a gruesome banquet of midnight mayhem!
This frightful night of fun kicks off with the horror-punk glory of Bad Ash (
http://www.myspace.com/badashrocks). Comprised of trouble-making Boston punks who love to party, Bad Ash’s performance is sure to wake the dead, make them dance, then blow their heads off! Following their set will be a bevy of grotesque burlesque courtesy of the infamous horror troupe, Black Cat Burlesque (
www.blackcatburlesque.com). Dedicated to putting the BUMP back into the night, Black Cat Burlesque has been raising pulses, the dead and a whole lot of hell since 2003. As the bad seeds of Boston Burlesque, this scream team mines the depths of their twisted psyches—blending striptease thrills and spookshow chills to push the boundaries of the art form and explore the dark, cobwebbed corners of neo-cabaret.
For the night’s feature, Mr. Cannibal has hand-picked one of the most famous and influential splatter-fests of all time: the original EVIL DEAD. This film was so controversial for its graphic violence and gore that almost all U.S. distributors initially turned it down, until a European company picked it up. Today, it is widely accepted by critics and audiences alike as a classic of the horror genre and has a worldwide cult following.
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 from New England Comics, Stingray Tattoo, Horror Business, plus several passes to see the highly-anticipated movie, Resident Evil: Extinction. Brooklyn clothing label SEIBEI, will also be on hand selling and giving away customized Intramural Zombie Hunting League t-shirts. If all this ghoulish glory has whet your appetite for freaky films, Boston-area residents can also trek down to their local branch of Hollywood Express and browse J. Cannibal’s very own “picks” section, where they can check out some of his favorite horror movies of all time.
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!

“J. Cannibal, the ‘King of Horror Burlesque.’” —Boston's Weekly Dig
“J. Cannibal's Feast of Flesh, led by real-life undertaker and zombie lover J. Cannibal, is a celebration of all things terrifying.” —The Improper Bostonian
“Think Rocky Horror Picture Show with less androgyny and more anthropophagy.” —The Onion
“[J.Cannibal] is the sort of guy people brag about knowing. After all, he sounds like an exotic, epic character: poet, undertaker, horror-burlesque king, small-press publisher, show promoter, fake-blood engineer.” —The Boston Phoenix
