April Fool's Day

I opened this because it was mentioned in the Britney thread and it seems a few people love this movie.

I was obsessed with it when it came out. I thought Muffy St. John was the coolest girl. I used to imitate her mannerisms for years after, and the scene where Nikki is putting on her socks and her boyfriend is dead on the bed next to her.

Did you know that Tatum O'Neal's brother Griffin played Skip? The year after this film came out, he got into a drunken boat accident that killed Francis Ford Coppola's son and was indicted for manslaughter.

Gawd, I remember this movie. I watched it at a sleepover in junior high and we were all freaked out.

I'd probably watch it now and laugh.

I saw it in the theater when it came out and the ending was so good that people were applauding afterwards. It is a really fun horror flick. Totally under appreciated.

My sister and I rented this a while ago and used a tape recorder to tape the song at the end credits. Hilarious song. "I'm a little bit crazy myseeeeelllllfff!"

As for the movie, I don't think it's up there with the horror classics (all "Friday the 13th" flicks reign supreme) because I was disapointed by the ending. It was a cop-out. Up until the ending, it was pretty good, though.

I think Clayton Rohner, who was in this flick (and also in the super cheesy "Just One of the Guys"-what a resume!), was so gorgeous; it's too bad he never got famous. He was on a show called "GvsE" about five years back and he was super-hot then, too. *Sigh.*

SpinsterLiz, who did Clayton Rohner play? I guess I could look it up on IMDB, but I'm far too lazy for that.

I always thought that hair braid tied in a noose was a really nice look when I was a young girl. Um, I'm thinking of the right movie, right? Gotta go Netflix now.

Heh, I didn't even know either. (I just think he was "the hot one.") So I looked it up. Turns out he plays "Chaz."

And, the hair braided into a noose is indeed this movie's cover.

Ok, I just netflixed it (can I use that as a verb) and it appears to be some 20th anniversary special edition one. Has it been that long? I'm old.

I loved this movie! Isn't the actress who played Silver Kane in AMC in it? I can't believe it's been 20 years since it came out. I also can't believe I have my 20 year High School Reunion in 2 weeks, either. Maybe my old HS friends and I should rent the anniversary copy for some kicks.

Silver Kane from when? The late '80s? Because I don't think so...but I could be wrong?
