b"When a million selling, mostly female Bon Jovi cover band arrives at the studio to cut a record, their drummer/fog machine operator sees that all their songs suck. He realizes that the only sane option is to seek out the devil and purchase an unreleased track from pop music's greatest hit machine, Nicolo Paganini. He fills a duffle-bag with unmarked bills and heads to a burned-out cathedral to meet a badly dubbed Donald Pleasence. Being a drummer, (the musicians most known for their musical literacy) he sits down to the piano and knocks that thing out note for note. They see the potential for a rock opera, and in an effort to replicate the grand scale of Michael Jackson's Thriller video, they grab a film crew of 3 people, a handful of bunting, a box of candles and some mannequins and head out to a spooky house. Long story short, Paganini lives there and he kills people with a golden knife-violin but it's really hell or some crap having to do with the theory of relativity? I don't really know but at least it's short. So join Matt and Tristan for the violin-fungus riddled mess that is, The Paganini Horror."
