Quotes:

[looking at a photo album]
Melvin Hubble: Who's that Pop?
Melvin Hubble Sr.: That's your great uncle Alvin. He was responsible for a series of maimings in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Melvin Hubble: Maimings?
Melvin Hubble Sr.: He would cut off a few fingers. Bit off an ear or two. Got away with a whole leg once. Felt pretty proud of himself, until he realized that it was a prosthetic.
Melvin Hubble: And this one?
Melvin Hubble Sr.: Your fourth cousin Louis. He'd shoot people in the back, or rather in the butt. Really pathetic. Look that them. Pages of loonies, all Hubbles, all insane. You thing one of them would be able to pull off a half-decent massacre. But no, not a real killer in the bunch...

Spoofs Scream (1996/I)

Excellent Fun

This was a great film. It parodies every slasher flick ever done and it does it intelligently. The movie follows a hapless serial killer who like the rest of his family is completely inept. He vows to his dying father (who he accidentally electrocutes) to do the family name proud. We are off to the most brain dead sorority house in the world with equally dumb boyfriends serving themselves up to our hapless hero/killer. Amy Lynn Best and Lilith Stabs are the only 2 people there who aren't missing several pounds of gray matter between their ears. There are so many parodies that I couldn't even begin to list them but one of my favorites is that all of girls are commanded by their Fem Lib professor (played by Debbie Rochon) to deny their sexual urges and not give in to the tyrannical patriarchy of the penis (actual quote). If you want to see a real fun movie just go to Happy Cloud pictures and get it. I know I didn't regret it.
