Talk Horror To Me

7: Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)


Listen Later

  If you happen to be recording canon, one of the things I’m vocal in my support of is horror-comedy.  One thing I tend to not be a fan of is horror movies from about 1992-2014. There are exceptions, of course, but generally speaking, I found this long stretch to be a bit of a wasteland.  Imagine my surprise then, when Behind the Mask came along and shattered my my cynicism by delivering as the best meta-horror comedy for my money since Return of the Living Dead (1984).  Two DECADES of waiting.  Now, 12 years hence, meta humor is so ubiquitous that we see it in every genre and with great frequency.  I don’t pick a side on the matter. I enjoy judging each piece on it’s merit, but some of it is good and some of it is very bad, but rarely, even still, is it usually this great.

 

  Matt and I both really dug the movie.   If you’ve seen it, hopefully you’ll enjoy our conversation about it.  If you haven’t, maybe we’ll get you to put it on your list. Either way, thanks so much for stopping by, we really appreciate it!

 

Cheers!
