Japanther vs. Night Shade: THE REVENGE

Japanther fight the battle for their lives as the dead rise and blood thirsty monsters go berserk.  With hooded graffiti artists, morphing man-panthers, tentacles of terror, and sprinkles of ice cream lovers on top.  Can Japanther defeat the malevolent creatures of the Night Shade.  The terror returns to the stage is this battle for redemption and puppetry-all in an attempt to redefine what bands, groups and gangs can do.
