TIFFANY SHEPIS JOINS CAST OF "PICKAXE MURDERS III: THE FINAL CHAPTER"

Scream queen legend Tiffany Shepis joins cast of The Pickaxe Murders III: The Final Chapter. Though many actresses use the moniker quite liberally, Shepis has earned the title SCREAM QUEEN having starred in over 100 films in the course of her career, from her start as "Peter" in Troma's TROMEO & JULIET when she was a teenager, to more recent genre fair like the phenomenal FRANKENSTEIN SYNDROME (directed by her husband Sean Tretta), and MODEL HUNGER (directed by fellow SCREAM QUEEN LEGEND DEBBIE ROCHON).

Pickaxe is lining up an allstar cast, and production will take place in Houston this fall. We are definitely looking out for this one.
