Zodiac Killer (2004) Graveyard Frank leaves Tower Records and heads down Broadway. He shoves the DVD into a suit pocket. Ulli Lommel’s Zodiac Killer (2004), for a small picture, is widely available. Lion’s Gate Entertainment had sailed it through to DVD on 19 July 2005. Zodiac is long on words and short on budget and looked it. But whaddayagonna do? The production team was a plucky bunch, committed to shoot several more flicks through LGE. And Frank, having pitched some scripts to them, thought he’d oughta bone up on some of their source material. But that wasn’t why he was back in the Big Apple again. A small venue up in Spanish Harlem was to perform Scrapmetal Jesus, a one-act Frank wrote while sitting in “The Loose Caboose” (Home of the 50¢ Draft) on the Lafayette, Louisiana Strip. Frank wipes the unseasonable late September sweat from his brow, pulls the flyer from the breast pocket of his tweedy professorial blazer and reads it one final time:
