Now that October has come upon us, it is time to prepare for the change in season. While that may conjure up thoughts of pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather for some people, for others, this means only one thing: getting ready for the spookiest of all the holidays.

For the latter, what better way to prepare for this time of year than binge-watching horror flicks?

The answer is nothing.

But with so many choices in films, it’s hard to decide what to watch. While many people would toss around such names as Friday the 13th and Halloween, I would like to suggest a movie that I can almost guarantee you’ve never seen:

Allow me to introduce to you the wonderfully goth rock opera world of Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Imagine, if you will, that the year is 2056. The current fashion trend is surgery, and the prices are steep. There are payment plans in place, but people always end up not being able to pay them off. Due to this, the mega-corporation known as GeneCo has made organ repossessions legal. So, in the dead of night, out comes the Repo Man.

"Say that you once bought a heart or new corneas, but somehow never managed to square away your debts. He won’t bother to write or to phone you, he’ll just rip the still-beating heart from your chest!” - GraveRobber, “Genetic Repo Man”

This is the world that our protagonist, Shilo Wallace, lives in. She tries her hardest to survive in this society with her widower father, Nathan. All is well in her household, or so she thinks.

Little does she know that Nathan lives a double life. By day, he is a respectable doctor. He takes care of her and makes sure her blood condition is under control. However, at night, he becomes the one and only Repo Man.

This is just the general background of the cult-classic. Throw in the 38 song long soundtrack, amazing comic book art, a love triangle, illegal corpse-juice filled drugs, and a shady blackmailing plot, and you have the masterfully written film. Additionally, there is a top billing cast that takes this experience to the next level.

The fan base is also a truly amazing community. Cosplayers are fully dedicated to their characters. People who write film theories go above and beyond to fact check and make their thoughts plausible. The movie, much like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, is frequently shadow casted with a full audience call-and-response script.

So, why should you see this film?

If the description so far has not enticed you, let me just say this. I believe everyone should see this movie. It is a classic among cult horrors. Although it has a small following, I have never met a single person who said they did not love this movie. It is gory, campy, raunchy, and vulgar - and that’s what ultimately gives it endless charm.
