Texas Frightmare Weekend, in association with Anchor Bay Films, is pleased to announce the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE Trailer Contest. In celebration of the release of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE in theaters October 8th, we're asking filmmakers to submit their best exploitation trailers. The three best entries that capture the essence of "exploitation" cinema will play before the Dallas premiere of I Spit on Your Grave on September 30th at 8:00 pm at the Angelika Film Center. Were looking for submissions that are over the top, scary, wild, absurd and freaked out. Any entry will be considered, as long as it's an original work. Live action, animated, stop motion, claymation-it doesn't matter as we'll consider everything submitted.

The three best entries that capture the essence of "exploitation" cinema will play before the Dallas premiere of "I Spit on Your Grave" on September 30th at 8:00 pm at the Angelika Film Center. In addition, those filmmakers will receive a prize pack sponsored by "I Spit on your Grave" and Texas Frightmare Weekend. The best three trailers will also be posted at the Texas Frightmare Weekend website so the entire world can see your masterpiece.
