Chris Kattan, the former Saturday Night Live star known for his memorable characters like Mr. Peepers and Mango, is making a return to the horror genre with the upcoming indie feature 'Trash Queen'. This marks his first horror role since the 1999 cult favorite 'House on Haunted Hill'.
The film, described as a female-led horror comedy, features an ensemble cast that includes Matty Cardarople, Lynn Lowry, Jonathan Stoddard, Kevin Keppy, Emily Tullock, and Bonne-Vejou Dorrell. While details about the film are being kept tightly under wraps, Kattan's role has yet to be revealed.
Gabrielle Rosson is directing from a screenplay she co-wrote with Tullock, with production set to rely on practical effects during an October shoot. Joan of Art LLC and Trash Queen LLC are producing.
Kattan expressed his excitement about returning to the horror genre, 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.'
This marks a significant return to the genre that helped cement Kattan's appeal with horror fans, more than two decades after 'House on Haunted Hill' earned its cult status. With his memorable characters and the promise of a fun, twisted horror comedy, 'Trash Queen' is sure to be a thrilling addition to the genre.
