About this episode

Today we take a deep dive into Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, the cult horror mockumentary that flips the slasher genre on its head. We explore how the film blends comedy and horror, deconstructs iconic slasher tropes, and turns the killer into the protagonist, asking what happens when the killer knows the rules and invites us behind the scenes. An underrated and under talked about film for horror fans who love smart satire with a sharp edge. Enjoy! TikTok: YouTube: Apple Podcast: Spotify: Instagram: Twitter/X:
