Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

OK - all you movie-geniuses - I need to find the name of an old movie. I want to say it came out in the late 70's, early 80's. It was a horror-satire. The main thing I remember is that it kept an on-screen body count. I know, not much to go on, but hopefully it will ring a bell for someone.

I was having fun last night listening to my new Amazon delivery--the re-recording of the soundtrack from To Kill a Mockingbird, done by the Royal Scottish Orchestra and directed by Elmer Bernstein.
Glorious.
Oh, and while I was listening, I was reading the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, the Fall Movie Preview issue. Damn, Jamie Foxx looks just like the young Ray Charles! I am really looking forward to seeing that movie.

lexine, that oddly sounds like Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth, which coincidentally starred Buffy's Julie Benz and Danny Strong. But that was released in 2000.
Did the movie you're looking for have a plot point about lawnmower-themed murders?

Nope - this pre-dates all those movies. I have tried searching for it, but am not coming up with specific enough information.

Horror parodies from after the first (American - the Italians beat us there at least twice) rash of slasher movies:
Student Bodies
Saturday the 14th
Pandemonium
I also think there might have been one called Thursday the 12th but that might have just been the original title of one of the other two.

Hah - Student Bodies sounds right. I'll have to google and check it out.

Sounds like that's the one, with the onscreen body count.
Now you've got me trying to remember which cheesy horror movie had the hero escape over a chasm or pit by swinging on the boom mike that had dropped into frame from above.
