LOS ANGELES â If Disney ever wanted to reboot Toy Story as a horror franchise, they d do well to tap the curiously creepy collection that famed film and TV composer Danny Elfman keeps in his East Hollywood recording compound.
Animators could do a tracking shot through the enclosed loading dock, into Elfman s studio and be greeted by the man himself, who d introduce his little buddies: a pair of fist-sized, shrunken human heads that occupy space on a table in the corner of a cavernous entry room.
Protected in glass display cases a few steps away from a similar case housing an original Jack Skellington doll from The Nightmare Before Christmas (Elfman provided the singing voice of Skellington, as well as the film s songs and score), the shriveled noggins sit among various Victorian medical devices, detached mannequin hands, busts of clowns, doll parts and other macabre curios that constitute the life-long Angeleno s aesthetic.
Tessa Adams, CMO of Moxie said her team is incredibly excited about this partnership.
“Richard Elfman’s films
Forbidden Zone and
Aliens, Clowns & Geeks make a fantastic and fun double feature promising to be the event of the summer. We are thrilled to be able to offer the drive-in viewers a one-of-a-kind experience with our full suite of Cannabis products via our HighNow delivery service,” she added.
Aliens, Clowns & Geeks tells the story of an out-of-work actor who stumbles upon a key to the universe and is drawn into an intergalactic war between clowns and aliens. The film stars the late Verne Troyer in his final film role, Bodhi Elfman, Rebecca Forsythe, Angeline-Rose Troy, Steve Agee, French Stewart, Nic Novicki and George Wendt. Additionally, there is a musical score by Richard’s brother Danny Elfman, who has been referred to as “Hollywood’s hottest film composer, and Ego Plum.
