PSYCHO BEACH PARTY - A Film For Pride 2025

This Pride season, come party till you drop. Dead!

Set in 1962 Malibu Beach, this cult classic parodies 1950s psychodramas, 1960s beach movies, and 1980s slasher films.

Chicklet is a sixteen-year-old tomboy desperate to join the in-crowd of Malibu surfers. She’s the typical American girl — except for one little problem: her personality is split into more slices than a pepperoni pizza.

Starring Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under, Yellowjackets), Nicholas Brendon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Thomas Gibson (Criminal Minds, Tales of the City), and six-time Academy Award nominee Amy Adams!

Written by actor, screenwriter, playwright, and drag queen Charles Busch, based on his stage play. After deciding he might not be believable as a 16-year-old girl (“while I can still manage, with the aid of a sympathetic cameraman, to play a sophisticated 25, 16 would be a stretch… I simply rolled up my sleeves and wrote myself a new and quite wonderful role, that of the briskly efficient chief of police, Capt. Monica Stark, LAPD”).
