Synopsis
Star of the show, Jami Deadly, is a self-described "average blonde bombshell" living in an unknown cemetery along with fellow friends Conro Ziggy, Chaney, and landlords Raoul and Jenkins. Jami plays horror hostess and introduces the "main feature" of the night which the cast would poke fun at. The films featured were usually public domain b-movies that the cast would heckle. Writer, director, producer, editor and actor for the show, Matthew Muhl, states about making the show: "We made it, blood, sweat, tears, and all. But mostly blood".[1][dead link]
In 2006, Deadly Cinema and star Jami Deadly were both prominently featured in Vampira: The Movie, a documentary about Maila Nurmi, who is best known as Vampira, the very first horror host.
In 2008, a comic book adaptation of Deadly Cinema: The Movie, written by Matthew Muhl with art by Scott D.M. Simmons,[2] was produced in celebration of the show's 5th Anniversary.
In 2009, episodes of Deadly Cinema became available on YouTube in celebration of the show's 6th Anniversary.
In 2010, episodes of Deadly Cinema became available on Roku channel "Frightology" in celebration of the show's 7th Anniversary.[3]
In 2011, the band behind the Deadly Cinema theme song, The Carats, premiered "The 4-Carat EP" -- a four-song recording which includes the theme song -- on YouTube in celebration of the show's 8th Anniversary.
