Though Brad Pitt might be sitting this one out, the Toronto After Dark Film Festival just unveiled the first seven of fourteen feature premieres for their critically acclaimed horror/fantasy fest. Now entering its second year, the current lineup includes (wait for it) David Arquette's horror film debut as writer/director, The Tripper (starring Paul Reubens, Jason Mewes, Lukas Haas, etc). As if that wasn't a sufficient enough reason to grab tickets, other flicks include the highly anticipated new zombie musical from Troma Films' Lloyd Kaufman (Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead) and the most expensive Russian fantasy film ever made (The Wolfhound). Also, a new sci-fi animation from Korea (Aachi & Ssipak, whose IMDB entry reads "In a future where energy is made from fecal matter...small-time hustlers try to get rich while fending off the mutated Diaper Gang"), two critically acclaimed new zombie outbreak films (Mulberry Street and Automaton Transfusion) and an award-winning documentary about one priest's attempt to shoot a Christian version of Star Wars (Audience Of One). Yes, sir. Torontoist is excited.
