## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A flickering studio lot, 1963 summer heat shimmering off discarded film reels.  
A lipsticked chorus of androgynous figures performs a deadpan infomercial before chaos erupts—chase, assault, a ragged orgy triggers geological collapse.  
A vintage vampire unseals her coffin, resurrects the carnage, and the undead reel into a final waltz—earth tremors still ticking off-screen.  
Jack Smith’s fever-dream musical predates the New Queer Cinema wave by two decades, shot on expired Technicolor stock and sheer audacity.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, sexy, surreal, unhinged
