Screamplay is a 1985 horror film directed by Rufus Butler Seder. The film is currently distributed by Troma Entertainment.
Plot description, courtesy of IMDb: This is the story of aspiring sreenwriter Edgar Allen (Rufus Seder) as he arrives in Hollywood carrying his most valuable possessions: a suitcase and a typewriter. Edgar Allen's best attribute is his wild imagination. He imagines scenes so vividly for the murder mystery he is writing that they seem to come to life...and they do! As mysterious murders pile up, and Edgar Allen must confront old actresses, rock stars, and the police in the bleak setting of broken dreams in Hollywood.
Many Troma fans cite Screamplay as one of the company's better films in terms of quality: the film is very well received by film fans for it's writing and heavy German Expressionism influence, lacking the gratuitous gore, nudity, and/or cheap gags present in most Troma films.
