Chris Kattan, the veteran actor known for his comedic roles in movies like 'A Night at the Roxbury' and 'House on Haunted Hill', is back in the horror genre with the upcoming feature film 'Trash Queen'. This marks a significant return for Kattan, who hasn't been involved in a horror film since his cult classic 'House on Haunted Hill' in 1999. The film, directed by Gabrielle Rosson and co-written by Emily Tullock, is described as a female horror comedy, a unique blend that promises to be both thrilling and entertaining. The cast includes a mix of established and rising talent, such as Matty Cardarople, Lynn Lowry, and Jonathan Stoddard, adding to the film's allure.
Kattan's involvement in 'Trash Queen' is particularly intriguing, given his previous success in the horror genre. His character's role and the film's plot remain tightly under wraps, adding to the air of mystery and excitement surrounding the project. The use of practical effects for the October shoot further emphasizes the film's commitment to a hands-on, traditional approach to horror, which is a refreshing change in an era dominated by CGI.
In an exclusive statement to Deadline, Kattan expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, 'I’m really excited to be stepping back into the horror genre. House on Haunted Hill has remained such a special film for me, and horror fans have always been incredibly loyal. Trash Queen has a fun, twisted energy that immediately drew me in, and I can’t wait for audiences to see what we’ve been cooking up.'
Kattan's journey in the entertainment industry is notable. He began his career as a Groundling and later became a regular cast member on 'Saturday Night Live' from 1996 to 2003, creating memorable characters like Mr. Peepers and Mango. His versatility has led to a diverse range of roles in films such as 'A Night at the Roxbury', 'Corky Romano', and 'Monkeybone'. Kattan's ability to seamlessly transition between comedy and horror, as evidenced by his roles in 'House on Haunted Hill' and now 'Trash Queen', makes him a versatile and sought-after actor.
The film's production companies, Joan of Art LLC and Trash Queen LLC, are also worth noting for their commitment to the project. The use of practical effects and the involvement of established and emerging talent suggest that 'Trash Queen' is a labor of love, aiming to deliver a unique and memorable horror experience. As the film progresses towards its October shoot, fans of both horror and comedy can anticipate a thrilling and entertaining addition to the genre, thanks in large part to the involvement of Chris Kattan.
