Urban Legend

Listen Later

What is an urban legend? Well an urban legend is a genre of folklore comprising stories circulated as true, especially as having happened to a "friend of a friend" or family member, often with horrifying or humorous elements. Have you read some urban legends, or maybe heard about some in your home town? Which legend is your favorite? How about the one with the killer in the backseat or Bloody Mary or even La Mora Hora, why don't you google some and see what you discover about the area you live in. Urban Legend though is a fun movie from 1998 starring Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart, Joshua Jackson, and others. You can find the film to stream for free on Tubi and on Pluto.


Pop Rocks Cosmopolitan (marthastewart.com):

Ingredients

  • 2 packets watermelon or strawberry flavored Pop Rocks candy
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedge for rim
  • 3 ounces cold vodka
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
  • 1 ounce Cointreau

    • Directions

    1. Put candy between sheets of parchment and lightly crush with a rolling pin or mallet. 
    2. Moisten the rims of 2 chilled coupes with lime wedge, then dip them into the candy. 
    3. Fill a shaker with ice. Add vodka, lime juice, pomegranate juice, and Cointreau, and shake well.
    4. Divide between glasses.


      5. Drinking Game (seveninchesofyourtime.com & Tumblr.com):

      1. Enjoy a sip of your frosty beverage whenever an Urban Legend is referenced or shown.
      2. You always drink for every death in movies like these.
      3. Whenever the name of a school is referenced, take a sip!
      4. Drink every time Natalie listens to her whiny sad girl music (*drink double if it’s through her headphones while her roommate is having sex*).
      5. Drink every time you see the Puffy Coat Killer. Spooky.
      6. Take a drink every time Tara Reid does or says something sexual. Good luck with that.
      7. This one is insane, and might be a movie-wide waterfall if you take it too seriously: drink every time lightning strikes.
      8. Drink any time Loretta Devine’s security guard is hapless.
      9. Drink for every unnecessary cut to Natalie entering or exiting a building on campus (*drink double if it’s an especially unnecessary shot*).
      10. You gotta drink every time Paul’s “hotness” is discussed, or whenever someone pines for the guy who takes school journalism WAY too seriously. Paul is Jared Leto’s character, so this is pretty much every time he’s on screen.
      11. If anyone cries, drink.
      12. Drink when Dean Adams says the phrase “shacked up with some girl… or some guy… or a faaaarm animal”.
      13. Drink every time Rebecca Gayheart...The sentence stops there purposefully, leaving it up to the viewer to interpret what that means to you.
      14. Drink every time lightning strikes (caution: this happens hilariously often and once you notice it you can’t un-notice it).
      15. Drink every time there’s a twist as to the killer’s identity. Double it if the audience is “tricked” into thinking one of the killers is one of the many famous actors who have played famed serial killers in other movies (see: Robert Englund AKA Freddy Kreuger, Brad Dourif AKA Chucky/Grima Wormtongue). Urban Legend is the cleverest.
      16. Drink for every dated 90’s reference, or for old technology.
      17. Extreme Urban Legend: Double every rule if it applies to Pacey/Joshua Jackson/Damon Brooks.
      18. Howl, chug, scream, finish your beer, smash it on your head, etc, during the scene in which the killer is revealed. And what a scene it is… “DING DING DING DING DING”
