Saturday the 14th!

I’m like three seconds away from melting into goo. I think this will be my sleepytime movie:

Get a load of Saturday the 14th, a 1981 horror spoof that’s become a bit of a cult classic. Though the film was released in theaters, it feels so much more like a made-for-TV movie. (That’s a plus, in my book.)

It’s cheesy as hell and I don’t know if even one single joke actually lands, but I still love it. I don’t know if I’d go so far to say that Saturday the 14th was made for kids, but it was certainly safe enough for kids. This despite the fact that the movie does feature some decent creature effects. (In what’s arguably its most famous scene, a pretty cool spoof on Gill-man attacks a girl in a tub.)

Here’s some old promo art, which’ll whet your appetite a whole lot more than that junky thumbnail from the YouTube video:

Enjoy the movie!

If I can’t fall asleep, let’s all go to 7-Eleven and mix every Slurpee flavor.
