Transcends To An “Impeachable” Unrated Edition DVD On October 23rd


CENTURY CITY, Calif. – Prepare for a killer trip! It’s the dawning of the age of bloodshed as a

homicidal maniac with an obsession for Ronald Reagan wreaks havoc upon a group of bohemians

in the horror satire THE TRIPPER, debuting as The “Impeachable” Unrated Version DVD October 23rd from Fox Home Entertainment. Directed, produced and co-written by David Arquette (Scream trilogy, Eight Legged Freaks), the film is a nostalgic homage to the exploitation films of Wes Craven and Tobe Hooper that follows a group of free-loving hippies who escape to a modern-
day Woodstock for a weekend of debauchery, only to be stalked by a radical-minded psychopath with an eerie resemblance to the 40th President of the United States. Hailed by Fangoria.com as a “subversive slasher flick that will have you screaming and laughing,” THE TRIPPER stars Thomas Jane (The Punisher, Deep Blue Sea), Jason Mewes (Clerks, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back), Lukas Haas (Alpha Dog, Last Days), Jamie King (“Kitchen Confidental,” Sin City), Paul Reubens (Pee- Wee’s Big Adventure, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and features scary cameos from David Arquette, Courtney Cox-Arquette (“Dirt,” “Friends”), Balthazar Getty (“Brothers & Sisters,” Feast) and
more.


THE TRIPPER DVD will feature the never-before-seen unrated director’s cut not shown in theaters featuring more blood and gore, plus director / cast commentary, deleted scenes, blooper reel, making-of featurette and hilarious behind-the-scenes tour footage from Arquette’s trek across America promoting the film. Slashing onto DVD just in time for Halloween scares, THE TRIPPER
– The “Impeachable” Unrated Version DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of

$27.98 U.S. / $37.98 Canada.
Synopsis:

As a rural Northern California town prepares for the first annual American Free Love Festival, a serial killer roams the woods inflicting preemptive strikes on the hippies who’ve come for the sex, drugs and rock and roll. Sporting a Ronald Reagan mask and leaving trademark jellybeans at his gruesome crime scenes, the killer seems unstoppable! That is, unless he meets an unimpeachable flower child...With a hip soundtrack and a killer cast, THE TRIPPER is a hilarious homage to classic horror – and politics!
