About this Event
A lonely gravedigger who stinks of corpses finally meets her dream man, but their whirlwind affair is cut short when he tragically drowns at sea. Grief-stricken, she goes to morbid lengths to resurrect him through madcap experiments.
The Dead Lover Stink-O-Vision screenings turn cinema into a full-body experience. Each audience member receives a scratch-and-sniff card created by scent artists, unleashing a carefully choreographed bouquet of aromas—funky, foul, seductive, and downright unholy—that sync with key moments in the film. From grave-dirt rot to dandy cologne, ghost puke to BBQ stank, the smells guide viewers through a journey of fetid, funky love where romance and revulsion collide.
For fans of Rocky Horror, Monty Python, Death Becomes Her, Frankenhooker, John Waters and all things stanky. Grace Glowicki’s 16mm riff on Frankenstein is a zany fever dream of lush colors and gender-bending performances by its cast of four, who play multiple characters. Shot on a black box stage with stunning production design, Dead Lover is an experience you’ll never forget.
