Chillerama is a 2011 American horror comedy anthology film consisting of four stories (or segments) that take place at a drive-in theater playing monster movies.

Adam Rifkin and Tim Sullivan met while working on Detroit Rock City and quickly discovered they shared a mutual love of horror, monster and drive-in B-movies,[1] so they began developing an idea to make an anthology called Famous Monsters of Filmland,[2] loosely based on the magazine they had grown up reading, and with each short dedicated to a different era in film.

First they came up with names and mock-up posters for each of the mini-features: The Diary of Anne Frankenstein (1940s), I Was a Teenage Vampire (1950s) Zombie Drive-In (1960s) and Werewolf of Alcatraz (1970s).

[2] A deal with Famous Monsters magazine fell through, so it was pitched as a weekly MTV series to be hosted by KISS frontman Gene Simmons,[1] but reality television was beginning to dominate American households, so the project was shelved.

[1] A few years later, Rifkin and Sullivan met with directors Adam Green and Joe Lynch at Rainbow Bar and Grill, and the idea resurfaced.

[1][3] Soon the quartet decided to make Chillerama as an independently produced film, with Green's studio, ArieScope Pictures, serving as the headquarters of operations.

Initially, Sullivan thought that it was a mistake, but after speaking to people in eBay's safety & trust department, he was told that the auction included a photo of a man with "engorged genitalia" which they deemed "sexually and morally offensive".

Green's first decision, given the delicate nature of the subject matter, was that the story had to be over-the-top and would have to "make a clown out of Hitler"[3] to ensure no one would deem it offensive.

Green's idea was to have Moore sound slightly convincing as the film began to give audiences who don't comprehend German the idea that he was actually speaking the language, but as the film progresses "his German gets worse and worse",[3] ultimately devolving into total gibberish and random words and phrases, such as "Oshkosh B'gosh" and "Boba Fett".

For example, during his song "I Don't Want to Rule the World", instead of the titular line Moore sings, "Ich habe Würmer in meinem Schwanz", which means, "I have worms in my penis".
