Back in the 70s, horrormeister Stephen King wrote a short story of bloody revenge called "The Lawnmower Man." Hollywood read the story and decided it would make for a great feature-length film. The only problem is it's just a short story. You can’t just have a killer lawnmower come to life, turn some evil bully into mulch and roll the closing credits.

So the studio decided to tack on a second and completely different story about a hapless lawnmower dude played by Jeff Fahey and a scientist played by Pierce Brosnan who’s driven to improve mankind's intelligence through the use of virtual reality (so the scientist invented the new Batman Arkham VR game?)?

The Lawnmower Man movie strayed so far from the source material and turned out to be so bad that Stephen King sued the studio and the people who made it to take his name off the project. Do you know how bad that has to be? He KEPT his name on BOTH "Firestarters!"

That means it's perfect for Dallas' only live, interactive, movie mocking comedy show, the Mocky Horror Picture Show! The movie-riffing comedy troupe that performs at the Texas Theatre is bringing their riff of this schlocky tech fest to the La Cantera Arts Conservatory at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 30 and (here's the best part), it's free! All you have to do is RSVP to reserve your seats for the show. Guests are also encouraged to donate to the non-profit La Cantera Arts Conservatory.
