High School Serial Killer Movie Night




Of course these movies aren't really about serial killers in high school. They're about society. In fact Heathers just comes out and says it:
"People will look at the ashes of Westerburg and say, "Now there's a school that self-destructed, not because society didn't care, but because the school was society." Now that's deep."
The best I can come up with on the IMDB quote page for Massacre at Central High is:
My pa, he doesn't like strangers coming around... says it upsets the chickens.
but it's essentially the same thing.

Massacre at Central High, or as everyone started calling it MACH, sees our first five-timers club update since March. This time with a new entry, Rainbeaux Smith:


Caged Heat
Phantom of the Paradise 
The Incredible Melting Man
Laserblast 
Massacre at Central High

Most of those are smaller roles. In fact, she was really in six Bad Movie Night movies. She's uncredited as "Girl buying ticket at rodeo" in Evel Knievel. Should that count?



You will recognize Robert Carradine. You know him as Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds. Those Carradines are everywhere.



I just found our Martha Plimpton is one! Of course David Carradine was in Death Race 2000, Q and Crank: High Voltage. It's almost like the Sheens.

Martin's daughter Renee plays Betty Finn in Heathers and we've seen her previously in Sleepaway Camp II and Intruder. Winona Ryder's film debut was in Lucas with Charlie Sheen. Who we saw in Red Dawn and Grizzly II: The Concert. We saw Joe Estevez once.



So I declare the Carradines, Sheens and Jacobys/Jaynes as the three dynasties of BMN.

Here's what happened last week:
