Don’t be scared. Ghostface just wants to give you free Godsmack tickets.
Today is a great day to celebrate slasher movies, and not simply because it’s Friday the 13th. Today also marks the theatrical release of Happy Death Day, a brand new original slasher film that marries the sub-genre with Groundhog Day. Should be fun, and regardless, it’s pretty awesome to see a slasher movie back up on the big screen.
It’s kinda been FOREVER.
In any event, the reason I bring up slasher movies is because Nerdist just took some of slasher cinema’s most iconic scenes and redubbed them with silly voices and dialogue that completely change the tone of the proceedings. The idea being, what if scary slasher killers had the most unscary voices imaginable?
“Slasher movies garner most of their scares from having these hulking, usually silent killing machines stalk and surprise at intervals. (We’re obviously not talking about Freddy Krueger here, though. That dude is incredibly verbose.),” Nerdist explains. “But if the rest of the pack could talk, would they truly be scary? More to the point, if they have ridiculous voices, would they do anything but make you laugh?”
