A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Stay away, from Captain Howdy!

    About time this happened. Remember hearing about this at a Monster Mania convention in New Jersey about five or so years ago. Let’s hope it doesn’t blow.

    Oh neat. Isn’t this the movie that made people who are into modification out to be serial killers? totally.

    bummer. keith was embarrassed to have his name on it. he probably wouldn’t’ve appreciated you linking to his name in reference to it yet again. :/

    Might help if, in this sequel, the hero or good guy / gal is also heavily modified. The fact that the original made us out to be nut jobs did kind of suck, even though I thought the movie itself was delightful in a cheesy-and-lovin-it kind of way.

    Oh, come on!
    1. It’s just a movie.
    2. Only Captain Howdy was a serial torturer(I seem to remember the only person who died did so due to a heart murmor or something like that). There were lots of people with piercings and tattoos that didn’t hurt anyone. Remember the tow truck driver?
    3. Dee Snider is fuckin’ awesome.

    I fit the description of Sylvain, I’ve never acted but for some reason I really want to apply for this 🙂

    I heard about this months ago myself. I was highly unhappy with having to “pay” to apply for a role in the movie, so I basically snuffed the idea out.

    But I still like the idea that they’re making another one.
