Screamplay is a 1984 American horror film directed by Rufus Butler Seder.
Aspiring screenwriter Edgar Allen (Rufus B. Seder) arrives in Hollywood carrying his most valuable possessions: a battered suitcase and a typewriter. Edgar Allen's best attribute is his wild imagination. He imagines scenes so vividly for the murder mystery he is writing that they seem to come to life...and they do! As mysterious gruesome murders pile up, Edgar Allen must confront aging actresses, rock stars and the police in a bleak setting of broken dreams and hideously broken bodies in Hollywood. As the line between reality and imagination becomes more blurred, Edgar Allen, convinced the only way to be a real writer is to suffer, is driven slowly mad.
Screamplay was filmed between August and September of 1983 in and around Boston, Massachusetts. [1]
After a theatrical and video release, Troma released the film on DVD in 2005. [2] This release is currently out of print.
The director of the film, Rufus Butler Seder, would later be most famous for his Scanimation children’s books. [3]
