Cannibal! The Musical

A student film directed by the future creator of South Park, Trey Parker, while studying at the University of Colorado at Boulder. A black comedy, it details the trial of Alferd Packer, America's only convicted cannibal, and the sordid details of the trip from Utah to Colorado that left his five fellow travelers (Shannon Bell, George Noon, James Humphrey, Israel Swan, Frank Miller) dead and partially eaten. Parker stars as Packer, and frequent collaborator Matt Stone is featured as fellow traveler James Humphrey, and experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage plays George Noon's father.

Adding to the dark comedy are the cheerful songs, all composed by Parker, including "Let's Build a Snowman," "On Top of You," "Hang the Bastard," and "Schpadoinkle."

Although this film was originally released as Alferd Packer: The Musical, when it was revived by Troma Studios after South Park became popular, it was released as Cannibal! The Musical for concern that not enough people outside of Colorado knew who Alferd Packer was.
