Deadly Cinema is a television show on NTTV, a student television station at University of North Texas. The program aired for two seasons from 2003 to 2005.[1]

Synopsis

Star of the show, Jami Deadly, is a self-described "average blonde bombshell" living in an unknown cemetery along with fellow friends Conro Ziggy, Chaney, and landlords Raoul and Jenkins. Jami plays horror hostess and introduces the "main feature" of the night which the cast would poke fun at. The films featured were usually public domain b-movies that the cast would heckle. Writer, director, producer, editor and actor for the show, Matthew Muhl, states about making the show: "We made it, blood, sweat, tears, and all. But mostly blood".[1]

Deadly Cinema was prominently featured in Vampira: The Movie, a 2006 documentary Maila Nurmi, best known as Vampira, the very first horror host.

In 2008, a comic book adaptation of Deadly Cinema: The Movie, with art by Scott D.M. Simmons,[2] was produced in celebration of the show's 5th Anniversary.

In 2009, two full-length episodes of Deadly Cinema became available to watch on "YouTube.com" for the first time in celebration of the show's 6th Anniversary.

The underworld looks better in pink as morbid minx Jami Deadly and her wacky monster cast entangle themselves in a macabre of spooks, thrills, laughs and plenty of nutritious B-movie cheese thrown in for good measure! Be sure to save her a seat!


"Deadly Cinema" was brainstormed (complete with thunder and lightning) in Summer 2002. Dallas model Jami Deadly and former NTTV Program Manager Mario Pena developed the idea to make a horror host show (i.e. Elvira, Vampira) with a blonde bombshell twist! With Pena's graduation from North Texas University in Spring 2003, it was then up to Jami and a UNT film student (who met in October 2002 and started collaborating on ideas via internet) to see the show into its fruition (with the debut of a modest pilot episode in October 2003).

Two years later, the series has matured production-wise, but still holds true to the spirit of the cheap-yet-charming horror host genre that precedes it. You'll laugh, you'll scream, you'll laugh again!

TELEVISION: "Deadly Cinema" is currently broadcast out of NTTV Channel 22 in Denton, TX (To check local listings: www.unt.edu/nttv).
