Take Bloody Disgusting’s Ultimate ‘My Bloody Valentine’ Trivia Quiz!
Do you remember the official slogan for the fictional town of Valentine Bluffs?
Released in the wake of Friday the 13th, the George Mihalka-directed My Bloody Valentine may not have spawned a franchise the way its slasher predecessor did, but the Canadian-made film is nevertheless one of the sub-genre’s best. While most slashers of the time were totally interchangeable, the Canadian-made My Bloody Valentine came quipped with charms all its own. The characters are fun, the killer is badass, the setting is highly unique, and the kills (particularly in the unrated cut) are gory and satisfying, making it a pretty damn perfect slasher film.
Of course, the curse of holiday-themed horror is that we only really talk about those movies when those holidays are near, but My Bloody Valentine damn sure deserves to be in the conversation all-year-round. That said, since it is Valentine’s Day and all, we thought it’d be fun to celebrate the most romantic day of the year by testing your knowledge of this bloody slasher gem.
How well do you remember My Bloody Valentine? Take our ultimate quiz below!
It was announced two weeks ago that Paramount is resurrecting the Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie, which will likely arrive in theaters next year.
The new movie, a joint venture between Paramount and Miramax that will technically be the sixth installment in the franchise, is expected to go into production this coming Fall.
We don’t yet know who will be writing, directing or starring in the Scary Movie reboot, but two actors in particular have already expressed an interest in joining the franchise.
The first is Melissa Barrera, who can currently be seen in theaters in Radio Silence’s bloody horror movie Abigail. Barrera is of course also the star of Scream and Scream VI, which kind of makes her a perfect candidate to lampoon herself in a Scary Movie reboot.
“I always loved those movies,” Melissa Barrera tells the website Inverse. “When I saw it announced, I was like, ‘Oh, that would be fun.’ That would be so fun to do.”
The actress adds, “They have the iconic cast that did it, so we’ll see what goes on with that. I’m just excited to see a new one.”
In a tweet posted last night, Bailee Madison (The Strangers: Prey at Night, the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School”) also threw her hat in the running.
Madison tweets, “Random but scary movie 6 hit me up cause I just feel like we’d have fun okay bye.” Your move, Paramount. And make sure you call Anna Faris and Regina Hall too.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.
The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
