Forbidden Zone ENG

The composing debut of Richard Elfman's brother Danny, the film stars Hervé Villechaize, Susan Tyrrell, and members of the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, and features appearances by Warhol Superstar Viva, Joe Spinell, and The Kipper Kids. Villechaize kicked his cheque back into the production and even painted sets on weekends. The only actual paid actor was Phil Gordon, who played Flash; all the other SAG actors kicked their cheques back into the show.

The film was made as an attempt to capture the essence of The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo's live performances on film, and also as a means for both Richard Elfman to retire from music to work on film projects, and to serve as a transition between Oingo Boingo's former cabaret style and a new wave-based style.[1][3] Amid negative reactions to content in the film that had been perceived as being offensive, the film was screened as a midnight movie, received positive notice, and developed a cult following.[1][3] In 2004, the film was digitally restored and released on DVD, and in 2008, the film was colorized.

Richard Elfman is currently working on a sequel that is in pre-production. He has also licensed Forbidden Zone as an intellectual property for manufacturers to produce collectibles based on the film's characters.
