Edsville is a Canadian horror comedy short film, directed by Alan Marr and released in 1990.
The film stars Stuart Clow and Kathleen Laskey as Paul and Paula, a couple whose trip to a rural antique auction unexpectedly leads them into a town populated entirely by Ed Sullivan impersonators — and it appears to be a communicable disease which Paul and Paula themselves are at risk of contracting.
[2] It was subsequently screened theatrically under a unique model for short films, which made it the first short film in Canadian history to earn independent theatrical revenue; instead of screening before a feature film as short films commonly did in that era, it was screened following Guy Maddin's feature film Archangel,[1] and patrons were given the option of paying an extra dollar if they wanted to see Edsville.
[4] The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 12th Genie Awards in 1991.
