| Synopsis: | Spooky Dog & the Teen-Age Gang Mysteries is an irreverent parody of Saturday morning cartoons - for adults only. Missing from a starring performance at a creepy county fair, a pop culture icon (suggested by the audience) can only be located by this familiar gang of teen sleuths: a butch, blond frat boy, an even more butch brainy gal with a trusty flashlight, a hot-to-trot diva in a miniskirt, a spaced-out hippie, and a talking dog. On a campy and comical quest to find their missing friend, they'll face the ghost of a dead country singer, a not-so-psychic fortune teller, and the sinister couple who run the fairground - and that's not all. Even more frighteningly, the Teen-Age Mystery Gang will also confront their own burgeoning sexual desires, tasty dog treats with unexpected side effects, and a surprise penchant for busting a move. Spooky Dog uncovers hilarious, hidden subtext with razor-sharp wit and affectionate homage. You'll never see Saturday morning the same way again! | |||||
