		Elfman, brother of ridiculously busy film soundtrack giant and former Oingo Boingo member Danny Elfman, has been given an opportunity to glance back with a slightly more satisfied eye on the creation that helped put the Elfman siblings on the cultural map, thanks to the film's recent small-scale cinematic re-release.
		Richard Elfman has spent the past two months traveling the country with a new 35mm print of the cult favorite and will be appearing at Denver's Mayan Theater on Saturday.
		Elfman, who lost his house and had to temporarily flee to France after the release of the film, says the subsequent years proved that Forbidden Zone had taken on a life of its own-thanks largely to the halcyon days of independent video rental stores.

	Danny Elfman - film and TV composer
		The small residual amount of Elfman quirkiness serves to add to the uncertainty about the lead character and whether she is telling the truth.
		Elfman cites Bernard Herrmann and Nino Rota as the film composers who have most influenced him, and you can see how he has taken the psychological depth from the former and a quirky humour from the latter.
		Elfman's latest superhero score for "Hulk" retains many elements of his unique style, but he has clearly taken on board ideas from Hans Zimmer and Don Davis' Matrix scores.

		Richard Elfman Don't succomb to "middle class suppression." Society likes us to fit in as cogs in the machine.

	Forbidden Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo were formed in late 1972 by Richard Elfman, as a musical theatre troupe in the tradition of Spike Jones and Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, performing an eclectic repertoire ranging from Cab Calloway covers to instrumentals in the style of Balinese Gamelan and Russian ballet music.
		As Richard's interest shifted to filmmaking, he passed leadership of the band to younger brother Danny Elfman, who had begun to lose interest in musical theatre, and had gained interest in other musical styles such as ska, and had become "sick of lugging around so much stuff with the theatre troupe.
		Richard Elfman had never gone to film school when production on the film started, and "I didn't know what I was getting into." The production, from its original 16mm roots to its finish, took three years to make.

	Oingo Boingo
		For Richard's first movie "The Forbidden Zone" (1980) he actually enlisted brother Danny to write the soundtrack, some of which was actually performed by Oingo Boingo.

		Elfman indignantly denied he had slanted his early writing specifically for the teenage level.

	DVD Review:
		But for a film like Richard Elfman's "Forbidden Zone," a ranking doesn't quite apply; this experimental fl and white musical/comedy so blatantly offbeat and bizarre that any level of verification would be pointless and subtracting.
		Elfman's use of abstract, kooky, German Expressionist-type imagery made it obvious that this was something he wanted to have stand alone, free from traditional methods of filmmaking.
		Danny Elfman's outlandish 1980 film "Forbidden Zone" has to be seen to be believed, and if you are not at least slightly demented you should probably pass on the seeing part.

		Certainly not for all tastes, Richard Elfman’s delirious and highly surreal little gem is one of the few cult classics to actually live up to its reputation.
		The loosely structured “narrative” concerns a household of rejects, who one by one, find a doorway in their basement that whisks them off to the 6th Dimension--a far out world of frog headed butlers, topless maids, human chandeliers, and various other misfits, all of whom are lorded over by a sex crazed midget.
		In the words of director Richard Elfman, “a truly excellent high definition transfer – a version of the film that looks and sounds significantly better than it did originally.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Forbidden Zone (1980), Richard Elfman, Herve Villachaize, Susan Tyrrell, dvd review
		A mixture of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, John Waters and the Residents with just a dash of Eraserhead, barely begins to describe Richard Elfman's Forbidden Zone.
		Director Richard Elfman, co-writer Matthew Bright, composer/actor Danny Elfman and others were members of a theater-of-the-absurd musical troupe before they put together this movie based on their bizarre stage shows.
		Elfman tries to keep things professional, but thankfully, the demented Bright -- who went on to write the Drew Barrymore version of Guncrazy and direct the 1996 Reese Witherspoon cult film Freeway -- provides a few subversive moments.
