If you could make a film about a Prog band in a Horror scenario, what would your film be?

For Genesis, 1981 was a good year. They delivered the album "Abacab" and completed a successful tour. But... On Christmas Eve,1981, the band's tour plane got lost in the fog and was forced to make an emergency landing on a mysterious deserted island. Or so they thought "Deserted"..
To their horror they find the island overrun with... The Undead!
Gasp! As the resolve of their tour manager and road crew is pushed to their very limits!
See! An enraged Phil Collins decapitate hordes of the undead with an efficiency many doubt he was capable of!
Chill! As Mike Rutherford battles with a zombie and gets injured giving the film a 'Has he/hasn't he been bitten?" angle for the rest of the movie!

Will it all be over by Christmas? It will for one group on the island...

Genesis Vs Zombies!! Is It Anywhere?...

That sort of stuff really. If you have extra plotlines for Genesis Vs Zombies then this is the thread for it.
Or how about Pink Floyd find a house on Long Island, New York they decide to use as a rehearsal space?
Unaware of the horror creeping behind the walls in Amityville!
Amityville, house on the hillllll!!

There, a thread and a reference to one hit wonder Lovebug Starski. That's how hardball you have to play it in this thread.

But a film about them doing that would be better than anything Hollywood has shat out for a good few years!

I thought they already did - Jefferson Starship ( or were they Jefferson Airplane ... or just Starship ... never mind) in the Star Wars holiday Special.

Making a movie out of the Amon Düül 2 biography would totally suffice. No zombies needed; the band is able to provide horror galore by themselves. What can for example be more horrifying than bankers and businessmen suddenly turning into bloodthirsty monsters who try to run the members of the band over with their big cars in the streets of Frankfurt? Or a friend of the band (Wolfgang Krischke, who appears as grim reaper on the cover of "Yeti") dying alone in the forest in the winter cold on an LSD trip?

That's a grim ending. Maybe Amon Duul 2 should be an 80's style Mini-Series!!

I wonder why extreme metal vocalists hassent earned 1000nd of bucks using their voice amd growl expertice in animated movie voicing monsters, bad guys and what-not. It really should be a gold mine for extreme metal singer whom to ly experience have plenty of tricks up their sleeve to feature in a voice over jobb, either at Dream Works or Disney.
