Ben Parker's Teenage Strangler was vastly ahead of its time; this comedy/horror whodunnit, inspired by Psycho & Rebel Without a Cause, was produced almost 15 years before John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) & is, in Dylan Smith's opinion, the Ultimate Proto-Slasher!
It was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, screened for decades at an Italian film festival, recently a punk-rock band from the UK has produced 2 studio albums based on the film!📀
Foundry Theater is located in the Jean Carlo Stephenson Auditorium on the second floor of Huntington City Hall, 800 5th Ave. Huntington, WV 25701.
