Description

Let's all go to Donkeyland! Shot on video for $2,000 by “James Dillinger” (aka author James Robert Baker) and produced by Los Angeles art collective EZTV, BLONDE DEATH is a savage blast of underground anarchy. This limited edition flexi disc features "The Ballad of Blonde Death," an exclusive, rip-roaring audio collage by Bleeding Skull that pays tribute to the most accomplished and important shot-on-video film ever made.

The story follows the transformation of Tammy Lynn Beaverdorf (Sara Lee Wade) from bubbly teen to death-tripping speed freak—an in-your-face rampage of sex, drugs, and violence that climaxes with scenes that were secretly filmed inside Disneyland. Satiric, subversive, and gleefully enraged, BLONDE DEATH is an essential chapter of queer cinema history.

    SOV masterpiece

    Truly phenomenal film that blew past all my expectations. Sharply and extremely well written, with whipsnap dialog pulling frequent laughs. The cinematography is another high quality surprise, with certain jokes being baked into the way shots are framed. It's a movie that, with a studio budget, would be a current cult classic instead of a criminally underseen SOV obscurity. Cannot recommend it enough.
