Just stumbled across this funny feature on Fangoria's website...

While perusing IMDb, I discovered that THE TRIPPER is going to have its cable television premiere next weekend on The Movie Channel. Catch it at these times, then that next Tuesday for an encore performance.

I marched with my WGA brethren for an expanded residual base and, by gods, I'll have them dammit!

Go buy a copy... don't be a commie bastard.

I love this genre. Our friends at Bloody Disgusting are running a contest with the severed head of Wilson, the old-time, free-range first hippie slain by Reagan The Tripper, as the prize.

Some trivia, if you care...

• "Wilson" was named for the evil despotic ruler of Gamehendge, the fantasy world portrayed in the Phish rock opera/opus The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday.
• • The character was originally due to have bugs start crawling out of his hair and clothing, giving new creedence to the concept of the "dirty, filthy hippie."

Fox has launched a new website to promote THE TRIPPER's release on DVD next week.

I highly, highly recommend the EXCLUSIVE VIDEO that's been added. Don't be a Nancy-boy!

The good people at IGN have a great review of the forthcoming TRIPPER DVD. Here's a snip:

It's a shame when good films either don't get the kind of recognition they deserve or find themselves buried beneath a lot of other crap projects that make it difficult for audiences to have an opportunity to check them out. David Arquette's The Tripper is one such film. Despite it's short-lived theatrical run and its poor reception from critics, it's found a much better home on DVD; delivering a host of wonderful extras that only highlight just how great a horror film this really is.

THE TRIPPER hits the streets on 10/23... unrated and unimpeachable, just like old Ronnie.

Thought you guys might be interested in a FREE SCREENING of THE TRIPPER on 10/15 here in New York City!

Fox is releasing the film on DVD the week after. In anticipation, the movie's been touring all big the genre festivals (Toronto After Dark, Stiges, Screamfest, Fantasia, and others) and it looks like there's going to be this freebee at Two Boots' Pioneer Theater in the village presented by our friends at FANGORIA MAGAZINE. This would be the first public screening of the new "unrated" director's cut. I hear there's more blood. Since this is already the bloodiest movie (among other things) I've, personally, ever seen... I can't help but be curious myself.

I'm going to be attending... If you're interested in coming with me please follow these instructions:

First ever public screening of the "Unrated" Director's Cut!

Mon October 15
6:30pm
East 3rd Street, between Avenues A and B (closer to A)
