The Ghastly Love of Johnny X is a 35mm independent motion picture presented in GhastlyScope—an exciting retro-style hybrid about a gang of juvenile delinquents from outer space!

Paul Bunnell's idea for Johnny X came about in 1997 after watching Tom Graeff's 1959 cult movie Teenagers From Outer Space. This was the inspiration behind wanting to produce an homage to 1950s sci-fi films. A shooting script (originally titled The Ghastly Ones) was in development for a few years before a final draft would be approved by Bunnell.

Interestingly, the initial concept was not planned as a musical—this element was added shortly before production. Six original songs were composed by lyricist Scott Martin—combined with whimsical orchestrations by musical impresario Ego Plum—for what can only be described as a fresh spin on an old style Hollywood musical!

With dark humor and music throughout, Johnny X promises to deliver a unique blend of hip genre moviemaking and timeless entertainment for what is sure to become an indie film classic!
