Chillerama is a 2011 horror comedy anthology film consisting of four stories (or segments) that take place at an old school drive-in playing monster movies. Each segment are homages to a different genre and style.[1]

The first is "Wadzilla" and was directed and written by Adam Rifkin spoofing 1950s monster movies. The second segment is "I Was a Teenage Werebear" and was directed and written by Tim Sullivan which parodies Rebel Without a Cause, Grease and The Twilight Saga and is set in 1962. The third is called "The Diary of Anne Frankenstein" and was directed and written by Adam Green and spoofs Hitler and The Diary of Anne Frank. The last segment is "Zom B Movie", a spoof of zombie films, and was directed and written by Joe Lynch.

Filming took place in late 2010 and was release at Fantasy Filmfest on August 22, 2011. On September 29, 2011 it was released to video on demand and on DVD and Blu-ray on November 29, 2011.

The film is Anthology style taking place as a a drive-in theater that is about to close. A worker for the theater, in a drunken state digs up his deceased wife's body and try to orally rape her, only for her to turn into a zombie and bite his genitals causing him to slowly turn into a zombie between segments as he is working.

Segments

"Wadzilla"

Premise

"Wadzilla" is a spoof on 1950s monster movies and is about "a guy that goes to get his sperm count raised, and it creates one big sperm that attacks New York City".[2]

Cast

Production

It was directed and written by Adam Rifkin, who also stars in the film.[1] Special effects was done by The Chiodo Brothers.[3]

"I Was a Teenage Werebear"

Premise

"I Was a Teenage Werebear" is a musical and a spoof of Rebel Without a Cause, Grease and The Twilight Saga. It is set in 1962 and is about a "closeted kid who meets these other closeted kids, who when aroused turn into leather daddy werebears".[4]

Cast

Production

It was directed and written by Tim Sullivan. Sullivan, who is openly gay, included some gay culture in the segment.[4] The word bear is slang for "big hairy burly men" in the gay community.[2] It includes five original rock 'n roll songs performed by the actors.[4]

Casting was difficult as straight actors declined the role and many gay actors were not allowed to do the role by their representatives. Gay porn star Sean Paul Lockhart (Brent Corrigan) was cast as the lead role.[4] On November 5, 2010, a scene was filmed on the beach of Sycamore Cove near Malibu.[1] Robert Pendergraft provided the practical effects.[1]

"The Diary of Anne Frankenstein"

Premise

"The Diary of Anne Frankenstein" is a black and white film about Hitler "trying to create the perfect killing machine to win the war".[2]

Cast

Production

The film is in German but Joel Moore who plays Hitler does not know German and speaks "gibberish" through the film, but correct subtitles are displayed. It was directed and written by Adam Green.[2]
