Oh, how we adore the Primitive Screwheads. Our first experience with them was at the final (sob) performance of their most glorious Evil Dead: Live, in which the guerilla (to wit: they rehearse in whatever unoccupied classrooms they can find at a local college, their props all seem to come from Mythbusters:The Home Version, and we're not really clear on their adherence to copyright law) theatre company brilliantly deconstructed the classic Sam Raimi trilogy as well as a host of other pop-culturalisms, spraying blood and body parts all the while.

We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at their new production, Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West. As we watched the gang rehearse, we marveled at their Macguyver-like ingenuity with props and staging -- somebody needs to give these kids some real money, because the work they do on nothing is freakin' amazing. Over our time with them we heard not just every possible (and some flat-out impossible - "Batman," Chapelle, "The Sound of freakin' Music"?) references and homages to the subject matter at hand, but also heard a man boast about pulling bloody rabbits out of his stomach and then turn around and sincerely argue for subtlety, as well as a guy who had just finished making a necrophilia joke also nervously refer to a castmate's breasts as 'thimajigs."

It's that kind of duality, eclectism, and irony that has us anxiously anticipating the opening of Re-Animator this Thursday at the Off-Market Theater, where it's playing until Sunday, October 30. Their shows sell out super fast, so buy your tickets now for what we promise will be the most hilarious gorefest (and by gorefest, we mean it -- it's going to get messy, folks, so leave your Prada at home) in town.

To kill the empty house until Thursday's show, we got three of the Screwheads to endure the SFist Interview. Below, hear what Danny Acree (who playes James Whale in the show), Ian McVey (who plays a walking headless body and several other small roles), and Sean Madeira (the director) have to say in response to our SFist questions.

The Primitive Screwheads are:
F.U.B.A.R (Danny)

A Group of People who just like to have fun. (Sean)

Introduce yourself in one sentence:
Hello, Sir. I’m the one who knocked up your daughter. (Danny)
Ian McVey: 101% FUNK! (Ian)
