BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON [2006]

Scott Glosserman's comedic-horror mockumentary Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon is set in a world where Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees & Michael Myers are very much real.  
It focuses on aspiring masked serial killer Leslie Vernon as he sets up an old farm house ripe for a group of partying teenagers and a night of murder & mayhem.  It hilariously dissects the teenage slasher flick, in a similar fashion as Scream did a decade before it and takes a deadly serious turn during it's grand finale.  Like Scream, serious horror film fanatics will probably hate their beloved films being torn apart before their very eyes, however anybody who's in it for the pure fun will love the energy and passion put into the violence and humour.
