\"\"<\/a>Richard Elfman’s Forbidden Zone<\/strong> is an often overlooked classic of the 1980s. Created by Elfman and his brother Danny\u00a0 – Yes, that Danny Elfman – the movie was a vehicle for their band Oingo Boigo’s music set against a bizarre story about a family who discover that they have a doorway to the Sixth Dimension in the basement of their home. A mixture of music, live action and animation, Elfman drew inspiration from a number of sources, including very obviously the 1930s cartoons of the Fleischer Studio, to present a story woven around a dozen Oingo Boingo songs.<\/p>\n

Back in 2009, Elfman announced his intention to create a sequel titled Forbidden Zone 2: Forbidden Galaxy<\/strong> but not much has been heard about the project until now. Bleeding Cool is reporting that recently at Mexico’s Morbido Film Fest he screened some already shoot footage in advance to it showing up as part of the SyFy Channel’s upcoming reality series Monster Man<\/em> which looks at various make up effects houses and how they create various creatures for the movies. If you’re not sure how one relates to the other, just watch the clip below. (Two notes – Firstly, it appears as if the song has been repurposed to serve as a promo piece for the Morbido Film Fest, though it still gives us a hint of the visual direction Elfman is going in for the sequel. Two, there’s a brief flash of butt crack towards the end so it may be considered NSFW.)<\/p>\n
