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

Pillow Fright

What if you could shadow a killer and learn the tricks of the trade used by the most iconic slashers of all time? Well, you're in luck tonight! Join us for our first slumber party of the month as we kick things off with Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, as part of our Summer of Slashers June lineup. We break down the film's unique approach to the slasher genre, marvel at Nathan Baesel's charismatic portrayal, and compare it to In a Violent Nature. This one is definitely quintessential viewing if you’re into subversive slasher films!
Expect a twisted Easter egg hunt as we uncover many, MANY subtle (and not-so-subtle) nods to various classic horror films, explore the brilliance of horror mockumentaries and the allure of characters like Leslie Vernon, and fantasize about horror-themed workouts that may or may not already exist (spoiler: it does it and it's called Slashercise).

So grab your pizza, scythe and Preparation H and let's get into it!
