The Story of Michael Alig - King of the Club Kids.
He came . . . He partied . . . He killed . . .
The macabre of 'American Psycho' meets the glamour of 'Warhol's Diaries' in James St James' powerful true-life portrait of charismatic and flamboyant Michael Alig - King of the Club Kids.
Set in post Warhol '80s New York, 'Disco Bloodbath' opens its doors to a kitsch-carnival existence where people are stars for no reason in their own cartoon world of crazed hedonism, decadent drug taking, glittering parties and unimaginable debauchery. Flirting with fetishism and androgyny, theirs is a reality where the beautiful, bizarre, sequinned and freakish revel with tea, scones and heroin.
But the charm of their magical kingdom soon spiralled into something more sinister. In their surreality, a world without rules, would getting away with murder prove to be the ultimate thrill?
