How it feels

Four segments play at a drive-in theater, each spoofing a different classic movie genre like 1950s monsters, 1960s teen musicals, Frankenstein, and zombie films. The stories are full of crude humor and gore.

What happens

Chillerama is a 2011 American horror comedy anthology film consisting of four stories (or segments) that take place at a drive-in theater playing 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 and Grease and is set in the American 1960s. The third is called "The Diary of Anne Frankenstein" and was directed and written by Adam Green and spoofs Frankenstein 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 premiered FrightFest on August 27, 2011.
