We make darn good movies.

About Me

Dancing Monkey Productions is so much more than just a production company unleashing no-budget b-movies upon the world -- we're a movement unto ourselves, taking on the flashy, fancy mainstream cinematic releases and beating them over the head with giant Looney Tunes-styled hammers. That's just how we do.

THE MUFFIN MAN
He's evil. And delicious.
Summer is over, the day-olds are a day older, and it's business as usual at the struggling donut shop on Drury Lane. Chad, Jane, and the rest of the staff have no idea that the shop's former proprietor - serial killing baker, Desmond Bailey - is about to return to the scene of his original crimes. Deformed, enraged, and possessed by a malicious demon, Bailey is more dangerous than ever. It's up to Hank, the grizzled detective who ended the baker's first killing spree, to convince the staff of the imminent danger. Will they heed his warnings before it's too late, or suffer a delicious demise at the hands of the menacing murderer with a massive muffin for a head? The heat is on, the timer is set, and a new evil is on the rise!
ROTTEN SHAOLIN ZOMBIES
An epic tale of brotherly love, bad sushi & ass-kicking zombies
Two brothers, the best of friends, devout martial artists, inseperable. One fateful sushi dinner would forever change the nature of their relationship and send them on a crash course to death and destruction. Thinking his dear brother has been killed by the toxic venom of the live dirty lungfish that tore out his eye, Lone Brother trudges through life, wondering how he will ever be able to continue on all alone. Little does he know his brother has returned to walk the earth as the undead, pissed off and craving human flesh. The stage is set for an epic battle where brother must face brother, zombie versus the living, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance! (Okay, that may be a little overreaching, but...)
Some fun stuff that caught our eye (and/or made us chuckle):
