Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th
This spoof spares no expense on gags. The main characters have names like Dawson Deary (Harley Cross), Slab (Simon Rex), Boner (Danny Strong), and Doughy Prime Suspect (Tom Arnold). The high school, known as Bulimia Falls High, has rooms for a nail salon, tanning salon, and women’s studies a.k.a. breast augmentation. Even the drinking fountains have a choice of scotch, vodka, and gin. It’s unbelievable. Who built that school anyway?
Now here’s something unusual. The killer is out in the open killing people at the school, but nobody notices as if things like this occur all the time. That does not make sense to me. Although there is curiosity about who the killer might be, the mystery level of this horror film tends to go way off base.
Julie Benz, who is well known as Darla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, plays Barbara the pretty and popular teen beauty pageant winner. When I met her at Mini MegaCon 2009, my sister told Julie how thrilled I was to have met her. Then she says, “That must be exciting for you.” Okay, that was strange. She also wasn’t too thrilled about the photos of choice for autographs. I thought this one was good.
Another Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor in this film was Danny Strong who played Jonathon. Here he plays Boner, a teen who constantly worries about never getting laid. Sorry, but that gag gets old after awhile.
It takes a lot to unmask this killer. And I’m not just talking about suspects.
This wasn’t really a bad movie. I’m glad that there was no gross humor, but I still think this parody was way too overdone. It wasn’t nearly as funny as Scary Movie.
as young gymnast Tricia Skilken. Tarah also mentioned that she was a Decepticon from 
. My sister and I each got an autograph from her also.
has an interesting take on the legend of the tooth fairy. She was once a nice old lady named Matilda Dixon. She exchanges a gold coin for a lost baby tooth. The children all loved her. One day, Matilda’s house caught fire and her face was hideously scarred. The townspeople hanged Matilda, but she vows revenge. Once anyone loses their last baby tooth, Matilda seeks them out and kills them in the night because she can’t stand light. Spooky, huh? Almost like a Grimm fairytale.
(1998-2006) was definitely a favorite. Three sisters, Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) are a team of witches who fight evil beings like warlocks, demons, and other evil spirits to protect the innocents of San Francisco. They’re known as the Charmed Ones. This show is along the lines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When the Charmed Ones vanquish an enemy, they burst into flames with neat effects and echoed screams. Most of the witches, warlocks, and demons don’t really have a particular look. In fact, they look no different than ordinary citizens, which makes it easier to blend in as long as nobody uses their powers in public.
