Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac

Alex Halpern directed film/video for the Butthole Surfers' Cherub.

I first witnessed the travelling sanitarium at New Brunswick, NJ's Court Tavern in 1986 and haven't been the same since.  The Buttholes were the most bugged-out, bad trip to ever grace a stage.  The outer limits of lycergic illness.  A quality Halpern manages to capture in this hilarious short.  The closeup shots of milk-moistened Kaboom cereal are far more horrifying than anything Slayer could ever conjur up.
