"Sometimes... the world is black. And tears runs from your eyes. And maybe we'll all get really sick. And maybe we'll all die, soooooooo -- LET'S BUILD A SNOWMAN!"
Ever wonder what musical comedy mayhem Trey Parker and Matt Stone were up to while they were in college?
Way before their infamous cartoons, the creators of South Park pooled a bunch of money together and convinced some of their college buddies to film a strange and wonderful musical about Alfred Packer (the first man ever to be convicted of cannibalism in the U.S.) during spring break in the early '90s.
Here's the opening sequence to this horror-themed musical that put Trey and Matt on the map:
Never before has there ever been so much gore in a musical. And not since "Rocky Horror Picture Show" has there been such a group of men eating other men... Take this lovely dance number to heart; here our hero/villian/village-idiot Alfred Packer (played by Trey Parker) dreams of his one true love, a horse named LeeAnn, whom he's trying to rescue from the clutches of Frenchie the Fur Trapper:
Moved yet? Bored to tears tonight? Need an escape from the doldrums? Maybe you should just take Swann's advice, or maybe you should do as Shannon does... Your choice.
All in all, this is one musical you shouldn't miss this, or any other, Halloween!
