Single Serving Slashers Appreciation Month - ”Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon”
from Cinema Degeneration · host Cinema Degeneration
October is upon us and we here at Cinema Degeneration thought it was time for another Appreciation Month topic! We bring to you a celebration of 'Single Serving Slashers', slasher movies that never got a sequel. There are plenty of chapters in the sagas of Chucky, Jason, and Freddy; however, we wanted to honor those often overlooked slashers that only graced the screen in one thrilling film. For our 2nd episode we are continuing the adventures with the criminally underrated "BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON" from 2006. This Scott Glosserman directed classic stars Nathan Baesel as title character Leslie Vernon, and has a supporting genre veteran cast featuring Robert Englund, Scott Wilson and Zelda Rubenstein. A meta tale set in a world where ALL the classic slasher characters are very much real. We follow a documentary crew as they embark along with Leslie to find out just how they do what they do and explore all the tropes and lore within the genre. Join Cameron Scott and mega-fan Deryk Wehrley (who has infamously cosplayed as Leslie and created exclusive artwork of Leslie) as they dissect this flick and discuss why Mr. Vernon is the unsung hero of the slasher genre. "Paradise lost? Found it!"
