BLUE VELVET and PINK FLAMINGOS got together and had a '90s baby. After the family-friendly fare of HAIRSPRAY and CRY-BABY, John Waters swung the pendulum back to the dark side for this devilishly cuckoo take on the pressures of motherhood.

Let’s also not forget that SERIAL MOM has one of the best “video store” scenes in film history!
