There are a handful of classic horror musicals that people flock to every year; The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, and The Nightmare Before Christmas are the big three. All fantastic movies, but audiences may get burnt out on them eventually. Those in the know, the Venn diagram of theater kids and horror nerds, have their alternative recommendations, like Repo! The Genetic Opera and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. We all know these films are great, but there are other great options out there. As a fellow theater kid/horror nerd, this writer has a recommendation that even predates the classic cinematic take on Richard O’Brien‘s beloved musical.
