Psycho Beach Party is a 2000 comedy horror film based on the off-Broadway play of the same name,[2] directed by Robert Lee King. Charles Busch wrote both the original play and the screenplay.[2] As the title suggests, Psycho Beach Party, set in 1962 Malibu Beach,[3] is a parody of 1950s psychodramas, 1960s beach movies, and 1980s slasher films.[2]
In the film, a female surfer with multiple personalities is suspected to be the serial killer responsible for the latest series of murders in Malibu, California.
