Party Monster is based on the true story of Michael Alig (Macauley Culkin), a club kid and party promoter at New York City’s infamous Limelight Club in the early 1990s. At the height of his prominence, he had his own record label, his own magazine, and an ever-increasing drug habit. As his addictions grew worse, his lifestyle and party themes became darker and more twisted, ultimately reaching a tragic crescendo when he murdered his drug dealer by injecting him with Drano and throwing him in the East River. The power he wielded on the club scene made Alig feel so untouchable that he proudly boasted of the murder. Both the press and police thought it a publicity stunt … until the body washed ashore.
