Overview
A man and a woman, both dressed in rough clothing, go around and around, half dancing and half wrestling, until they tumble to the ground in a heap. The Apache dance was named not after the Indians of the American Southwest, but the lower class demimondaines of Paris. Acts like this were popular because they permitted their audiences to go slumming, attending events that looked and seemed risky but in truth were not. Acts like this were part of the reason that public dancing was often seen as disreputable. Polite society restricted their dancing to private parties where dances like the waltz and polka -- which had been shocking half a century earlier -- were performed. It would take the influence of Vernon and Irene Castle and the rise of night clubs during Prohibition to make public dancing respectable again. In the meantime, there's this. It's not very graceful.

100 Best Kills dates back to the earliest days of Fantastic Fest, a cornerstone of the fest’s grand tradition of lowbrow pandemonium. In previous years, we’ve focused our knee-slapping man-reaping sights on everything from vehicular mayhem to gut-busting infanticide. We brought you Vehikills and decapitations during the pandemic years; You sick and depraved fools still couldn’t get enough! We were banging our heads against the warm walls of the Alamo and it must have been the perfect mix of patriotism and stupidity that opened the floodgates to creative genius. For this, my hungry hippos, we said to ourselves, We must bring in Louise Weard, Filmmaker, writer, programmer, and even a Canadian, to join our very own Zack Carlson to help make this the greatest kills of all time. We proudly raise the flag, salute your shorts, and present 100 BEST KILLS : Texas Birth Control, Dick Destruction... A celebration and reliably comforting countdown of castrations.
