“Killer Workout is unequivocally awesome.” -Joseph A. Ziemba, BLEEDING SKULL! A 1980s Trash-Horror Odyssey
Already regretting those New Year’s resolutions? The Drop Box has the perfect excuse to cancel your gym membership– the supremely silly slasher flick KILLER WORKOUT (1987, dir. David A. Prior, 85 minutes). One of two in the uniquely ’80s sub-genre of “aerobics horror” (the other is 1989’s DEATH SPA, in case you’re wondering), KILLER WORKOUT is the definition of a guilty pleasure.
There’s not much in the way of “plot” or “character development”, but what KILLER WORKOUT does have is over-the-top performances, a killer tanning bed, a catchy synth-pop soundtrack, death by giant safety pin, and enough braindead hunks and blonde bimbos in (and out of) spandex to satisfy even the most jaded horror fan.
So slip on your leg warmers and join us at Emporium Arcade Bar on Sunday, January 19 at 10pm. With specialty brews by Tallgrass Brewing Co. on tap, you’ll be laughing your way to fitness in no time! (Did we mention it’s FREE?)
