Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is a 2006 mockumentary which combines genres of black comedy and slaasher film. In a way it is inspired by Belgian movie Man Bites Dog - both movies feature movie crew who films escapades of a serial killer. This time the one is Leslie Mancuso, who shapes his character after the local urban legend of the ghost of Leslie Vernon haunting the old farmhouse.
A film, which takes place in a universe where such characters as Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th and Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street are real, features appearance of genre stars such as Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Kane Hodder (Jason in later installements of Friday the 13th, starting with 7th film), Zelda Rubinstein (Poltergeist) and Scott Wilson (The Exorcist III: Legion).
Movie quickly gained crtitcal acclaim and cult following. A sequel is still planned but hadn't even enetered pre-production as of 2014.
Astra 680
Doc Halloran (Robert Englund), a clear homage to Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) from Halloween, wields an unknown weird Astra 680. He uses it in the library to fire at Leslie Mancuso/Vernon three times (he misses all of them but is still able to force Vernon duck).
