The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) has provided an official trailer for the new 2K remaster of Daniel Erickson's horror comedy Scary Movie (1991), starring John Hawkes, Suzanne Aldrich, and Ev Lunning. Following a limited theatrical run, the remastered film will be released on Blu-ray on October 15.
Synopsis: Never legitimately distributed until this very moment, Scary MOvie is a joyous horror triumph starring Academy Awardİ nominee John Hawkes. On Halloween night, big-time nerd Warren (Hawkes, channeling a mix of Buster Keaton and Crispin Glover) attends a spookhouse in a small Texas town. But is the haunted house as harmless as it seems, or has a psychotic mental patient found a new stomping ground?
Shot in Austin, Texas, Scary Movie combines Argento-esque neon, Freddy Krueger dreamscapes, and slapstick inspired by Evil Dead 2 to forge a valentine to Halloween, rubber monster masks, and chopped-off limbs. From the songs by Roky Erickson and Butthole Surfers to the surrealistic mood, this is a true discovery for adventurous horror-heads.
