In Theaters Now: Jimmy and Stiggs, Joe Begos' Blood-soaked Alien Freakout Invades Theaters Nationwide Today
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The wait is over. Joe Begos' brain-melting, eyeball-searing alien horror freakout Jimmy and Stiggs is officially now playing in theaters nationwide. The first theatrical release from Eli Roth's new studio, The Horror Section, Jimmy and Stiggs is a 16mm practical-effects explosion that is becoming a full-blown cult phenomenon. Following buzzy advanced screenings and fan-fueled hype at festivals like Beyond Fest and Sitges, the film is finally ready to be experienced in all its gory glory - just as Begos intended: in a packed theater, with brains melting and jaws dropping in unison. " This is the exact kind of movie I dreamed of watching in a packed theater as a teenager - bonkers, unhinged, full-on splatter, shot on 16mm, loaded with practical effects,' said Eli Roth, Founder of The Horror Section. 'People are calling it the wettest horror film they've ever seen and they're right. What Joe and his team pulled off must be seen to be believed. Jimmy and Stiggs is a gory, brain-melting blast, and releasing films like this, the ones studios are too scared to touch, is exactly why I started The Horror Section.' Shot over four years in Begos' apartment with a self-proclaimed 'crew of maniacs,' every frame of Jimmy and Stiggs is handmade and hellbent on pushing the boundaries of indie horror. This neon-soaked nightmare is a midnight movie for the ages, from hand-built alien puppets and rigged-up blood geysers to custom-engineered camera rigs created with punk-rock ingenuity. 'Jimmy and Stiggs was an absolutely insane, backbreaking, four-year descent into alien splatter madness - every frame, puppet, and blood rig built by hand in my apartment with a crew of maniacs,' said director Joe Begos. 'Now it's finally on the big screen, exactly how it was meant to be seen - on 16mm, in a packed theater, with fans ready to get their brains melted and eyeballs seared. It's the ultimate midnight movie, and I'm beyond thrilled it's finally out in the wild.' And now fans can take a piece of the chaos home - Hot Topic has dropped its first-ever Jimmy and Stiggs merch collection, celebrating the neon-soaked alien horror madness from Joe Begos and Eli Roth's The Horror Section. Available exclusively at the online capsule includes T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and a framed poster packed with psychedelic graphics, eerie blacklight hues, and splatter-style mayhem—must-haves for horror lovers who want to wear their fandom loud. The official Jimmy and Stiggs soundtrack, released by Terror Vision Records, delivers a brain-frying original score from Steve Moore (VFW, Bliss, The Guest) to keep the madness going off-screen. A synth-soaked, blood-drenched descent into sonic chaos, it pulses with analog dread and horror-disco adrenaline—perfect for fans of 16mm alien mayhem. The soundtrack is available digitally now on Spotify, with vinyl, CD, and cassette coming soon at Backed by Media Capital Technologies (MCT) and distributed in collaboration with Iconic Events, Jimmy and Stiggs marks the launch of The Horror Section's theatrical-first mission to bring horror back where it belongs — in theaters. Tickets are on sale now at . The Horror Section is a fan-owned 360 media company focused on building a robust intellectual property library and creating the world's premier horror brand.
