Meet the Feebles (wikipedia)
Released in 1989, this is an early-ish Peter Jackson movie (yes, the LOTR guy).
It's a lurid and disturbing backstage comedy of a troupe similar to The Muppet Show.
I watched it with one friend in the mid 90s who, when it ended, stood, turned to me, and said "It is possible to go too far" before leaving the room.
Thanks for the suggestion! I was worried no one would be into this "fringe" idea!!
Most movies I'd think to suggest are fairly fringe ones. I'd assume people have heard of the others.
The Wicker Man (the 1973 version) is another great one made less fringe by the Nic Cage remake. Go in blind on that one if you can.
