Slasher Movie Night




Surprisingly I've never used "Slasher Movie Night". That's oversimplifying things, however. Both movies are about some young people set on a course of violence and revenge by a parent's death. Wait, that's Batman.



The Mutilator is about a group of friends whose limbs are surprisingly easy to remove from their bodies. While still intact they go up to a friend's beachfront condo to help close it down for the winter. They do this during their fall break so really this is the autumn The Shining.



In the end the killer gets lost in a corn maze and ends up dying of exposure to spectacular foliage while in a pile of leaves.

Tim Kincaid (Breeders, The Occultist, Mutant Hunt) must have been a fan of The Mutilator (or had some other connection). Both Matt Mitler (Breeders, The Occultist) and Frances Raines (Breeders, future Tim Kincaid BMN movies Bad Girls Dormitory and Riot on 42nd St.) are in it. If The Mutilator had any influence on Breeders 



it's the Seven Samurai of movies.

Tobe Hooper made the space vampire movie Lifeforce and the comedy The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 so The Texas Chain Saw Massacre should be lots of fun.

Here's what happened last week:
