| Party Monster | comment |
Party Monster is a darkly comic 2003 film about the rise and fall of infamous club promoter Michael Alig. The film covers his partnership with fabulous and attention-seeking socialite James St. James, his success in the outrageous '90s club scene, and the ensuing downward spiral of outrageous behavior culminating in the murder and dismemberment of roommate and drug dealer Angel Melendez. The framing device is that years after the murder, James St. James has found success as a writer, and retells the events of his friendship with Michael over the course of an interview.The film stars Macaulay Culkin as Michael Alig, Seth Green as James St. James, Dylan McDermott as Peter Gatien, Wilson Cruz as Angel Melendez, and Chloe Sevigny as Gitsie. The film was a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release, but has gone on to have a reasonable cult following.Not to be confused with the 1998 "shockumentary" of the same name, and about the same individuals or the 1960 Halloween classic Mad Monster Party. | |

Situational Sexuality: When accepting a phone call from James, Michael tells him how he doesn't want to leave prison since he can have all the sex and drugs he's ever wanted. | |

Conditioned to Accept Horror | |
| Party Monster / int_1b465242 | comment |
Conditioned to Accept Horror: A low-key, non-murderous example — sexual abuse has obviously done a pretty serious number on Michael's sense of intimacy and appropriate behavior, like not French kissing your mother good night or feeling up your boss on your third meeting. | |

Bathtub Bonding: Between Michael and Gitsie. With added uncomfortable humor in the form of Michael crossly declaring his health issues mean that he can no longer pee, a problem that clears up shortly as soon as they're in the water together. | |

Older Than They Look | |
| Party Monster / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Possibly due to casting — Macaulay Culkin was 22 at the time of filming, and the film follows Alig's life well into his 30s, but in-story Michael's boyish looks coupled with his occasionally childish wardrobe choices make him come across much younger, and during his questioning the police talk to him like he's about 12. | |

Scary Non-White Man: Angel is not one of these at all, despite filling the role of Michael's drug dealer and occasionally having to show up to shake him and his friends down for payment. He comes across as a rather disillusioned Only Sane Man thrust among childish, exploitative addicts. | |

Shut Up, Hannibal!: Peter Gatien's assistant delivers one sharply when an obviously strung-out Michael responds to being reprimanded by posturing about his social position and Peter liking him better. Her response is a scathing assessment of Alig's childish misbehavior and its roots in his insecurity. | |

Unfortunately, he's also a little volatile. | |

The Dark Side | |
| Party Monster / int_c4db3679 | comment |
The Dark Side: The police assume Peter Gatien is behind everything that goes on at his clubs, and try to win Michael's confidence by comparing Michael to Luke Skywalker and his employer to the evil, corruptive Empire. That's... not quite the state of things. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Party Monster / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: James St. James has little patience for Michael's depressing backstory, as his own childhood was not terribly happy either. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Michael Alig and James St. James, though things fall apart before long and their barbs are a little stronger than bickering. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Party Monster / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: All of the Club Kids pouring into a fast food restaurant for burgers. The characters treat bullying and sexual abuse like Unusually Uninteresting Experiences overall — Michael's mother is completely oblivious to the things that happened to her son in childhood, Michael himself talks about them flippantly, and James St. James waves them off as boring sob-story stuff. | |

Goth: Brooke, based on how she dresses and styles herself, though her personality when she's introduced seems to match with a Valley Girl, which seems to explain how she is friends with more normal dressed Gitsie. | |

Is This Thing On?: The film starts with James St. James being interviewed. "Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3, test...osterone, testicular cancer—" (chuckle) "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." | |

Hard-Work Montage | |
| Party Monster / int_f5f79e56 | comment |
Hard-Work Montage: James St. James always claims to be writing a novel, but before Michael's complete collapse he has barely two sentences to rub together. After things reach their complete nadir, he finally gets down to business and hacks out an entire manuscript of what will eventually become Disco Bloodbath. Or did he? In any case, it sets up his nightmarish revelation sequence. | |

| Party Monster / int_f8bfba18 | comment |
Pushed in Front of the Audience: Michael and a few of the Club Kids are mistakenly understood to be performing rather than merely appearing at a club on one occasion, resulting in "Money, Success, Fame, Glamour". | |
