Hair High, the latest animated feature from indie legend Bill Plympton, will play at the Two Boots Pioneer theater in New York as part of the venue’s ‘Month of Horror’ festivities. Plympton and cast members will be on hand for the screening and every guest will receive an original Plympton drawing.
Blending ’50s nostalgia and campy zombie action, Hair High tells the story of a small town terrorized by the corpses of a teenage couple who were murdered on prom night one year prior. The movie’s star-studded voice cast includes Dermot Mulroney (The Family Stone), Sarah Silverman (Jesus is Magic), David Carradine (Kill Bill Vol. 2) , Keith Carradine, Justin Long (Accepted), Beverly D’Angelo (TV’s Entourage), Ed Begley Jr.(Arrestd Development), Michael Showalter (Wet Hot American Summer), Craig Bierko (Scary Movie 4) Eric Gilliland, Zak Orth (Prime), Tom Noonan (Manhunter), Simpsons creator Matt Groening and animator Don Hertzfeldt (Rejected).
Plympton wrote, directed, produced and self-financed the film, which is co-produced by his friend and distant cousin, actress Martha Plimpton (TV’s 7th Heaven), who also provides a voice in the movie. Hair High had its world premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival and enjoyed a successful run on the festival circuit last year.
