Description:
A showman with a love for old horror movies arrives in a quiet coastal town. Taking advantage of fears surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis, he stages a quirky, humorous production using film effects, props, and actors in rubber suits. The small-town audience is drawn into a blend of suspense, comedy, and nostalgia as they watch the story unfold, celebrating the forgotten world of B-movies.
