    • Trivia
      It rained so much during filming of The Tripper that director David Arquette, at the wrap party, gave each cast and crew member a personalized poncho. In fact, one of the few days it DIDN'T rain was when they shot the rain scenes. They had to make rain for these scenes.
    • Goofs
      The US flag behind the stage is an old 48 star version.

    Ultimate Reaganomics...

    THE TRIPPER is a slasher parody / political satire featuring neo-hippies, hicks, and the Ronald Reagan-masked maniac who hunts and slaughters them.

    We're all invited to the "Free Love Festival" located in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Shockingly, bad things happen.

    Director David Arquette makes sure to mix much mirth with the marauding mayhem. Gorehounds will rejoice over the gushy stuff, while any true flower children will most likely cringe.

    Watch for a heinous-blonde-wig-wearing Courtney Cox near the end...
