Let’s kick off our first week of the Halloween season with a film about a horror festival that would be a dream come true for all fans…if they also weren’t being murdered. Our feelings about this horror comedy are a little uneven, but we nevertheless had a fun time watching AND discussing it.
A modern take on the Frankenstein story with the darkest of comedy, this campy classic of the horror canon stands up remarkably well today.
Going along with the early 80’s trend of event-themed horror movies – Prom Night, Fall Break, Black Christmas, Happy Birthday To You, April Fool’s Day, Graduation Day, New Year’s Evil and the like. Enjoy the last of our series of 1981 slashers this month!
Tom Savini says he is most proud of his special effects work in this week’s film. We’ve been wanting to check this one out for a long time, so enjoy our discussion of our third slasher film from 1981 this month.
