Comedy and horror: two great tastes that taste great together if you get the balance right. But not every movie can actually walk that tightrope! This week on Kill By Kill, we begin our Horror CoMAYdy coverage with a film mixing slasher thrills with practical jokes - 1986’s APRIL FOOL’S DAY!! Along the way, we explore the film’s connection to Friday the 13th and St. Elmo’s Fire, examine why it relies on gay panic so much, debate the infrastructure required for murder mystery B&Bs, and reveal the missing 3rd act of the film. All this, plus rabid jack-in-the-boxes, more ferry nonsense, terrible detectives, well corpses, hidden twins, and a Choose Your Own Not Deathventure!! Join us as we laugh - and cry… for mercy.
