Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream, you'll laugh again, you'll think, "What the hell?".  That's the beauty of the cinematic masterpiece Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square.  

In 1991, a group of teenage boys thought they signed on for a drama centering on the newsboys strike in New York City in 1899.  However, soon the whole production was re-vamped into a musical called Newsies.  With only two--count 'em--two women in the cast, one of which was more than twice their age, these boys needed to find an outlet for their abundant energy.

Enter Michael Goorjian, Trey Parker, Ivan Dudynski and Max Casella, who play Skittery, Kid Blink, Dutchy and Racetrack respectively.  They decided that the best way to pass the long hours on the set was to make their own movie.  This movie was not going to be the clean-cut Disney fare they were filming for the masses.  No.  This movie was going to be a no-holds-barred, expletive-laced comedy/slaughterfest.  

Enter Mark David, who plays Specs and was a regular on the former Nickelodeon sketch series "Roundhouse".  This kid can do a killer Don Knotts impression.  Literally, killer.  

In Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square, Don Knotts auditions for a role in Newsies.  The director, Kenny Ortega (Hocus Pocus, High School Musical) tells him to get the **** out.  Don Knotts becomes so enraged that he begins to kill off the Newsies one by one.

The movie is shot on a camcorder with a tape deck next to the audio recorder.  It is crudely edited and brilliantly photographed.  I encourage all fans of Newsies, and even those who have never heard of it, to check out this masterpiece.  You'll be saying, "Fuggetabout Trey, where's my *****' chair?" for years to come.
