The population of small town Galesburg, Illinois is down… about six feet! Something is turning the normally nice high school kids into murderous maniacs and petulant police chief/single dad, Michael Murphy, thinks it’s connected to high-jinks happening up at the local college Psych Department. Weird and wacky and one of a kind – with one of the best dance parties in movie history! Sock hops and silly shocks, mad scientists and syringes! Made on the cheap in Australia by Americans abroad – director Michael Laughlin and screenwriter Bill Condon – hit The Deuce as DEAD KIDS at the New Amsterdam in October of 1981 – a perfect Halloween treat for the tricks down on 42nd. Start your New Year right with this bit of frightful fun!

Complimentary drinks at the after-party courtesy of Bronx Brewery.
