The gutterpunk skate cult classic post-apocalyptic Shredder Orpheus from filmmaker Robert McGinley is screening on April 24th at L.A.’s revival house, Brain Dead Studios, which will be followed by a book signing with McGinley. The brand new novelization of SHREDDER ORPHEUS is officially launching next week from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
About Shredder Orpheus and the novel:
In Robert McGinley’s film, Shredder Orpheus, the Greek myth is reimagined as a post-apocalyptic skateboard rock opera. This low-budget hallucination drops somewhere between the music video for Devo’s “Whip It,” a Bones Brigade skate tape, and a surrealist art project. The story follows Orpheus, a rock star who descends to hell in order to save his kidnapped wife (and the universe) from Satan and his hypnotic TV signals.

Author David Irons, who wrote Don’t go to Wheelchair Camp, The Blood Boat: The Cruise Ship From Hell, and Cockblocker: Not Every Romance Is a Heartstopper, brings even more depth and insanity to the official novelization based on the original script.
