The Tripper Joins Screamfest 2006
Rachel Belofsky, founder of the annual Screamfest Horror Film Festival,
is pleased to announce the selection of David Arquette’s directorial
debut film The Tripper into competition for the 6th annual
event, which is to be held October 13-22 at the Mann Chinese Theaters in
Hollywood, California.
The Tripper, which is a bloody political satire, revolves
around a group of friends who escape to a modern-day Woodstock concert for
a weekend of debauchery, only to be stalked by a fanatical killer determined
to finish what he started years earlier. The film stars Jamie King (Sin
City), Thomas Jane (The Punisher), Lukas Haas
(Alpha Dog), Jason Mewes (Clerks), Balthazar
Getty (Feast), Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee’s Big
Adventure, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) with cameos
from David Arquette (Scream), Courteney Cox (Scream)
and many more!
“We are extremely excited to present the World Premiere of David Arquette’s
directing debut,” says founder Rachel Belofsky, “horror fans
are going to have a blood-soaked good time.”
