The laughs are as big as the “terror” in these two spoof
comedy hits: Student Bodies and Jekyll and Hyde Together Again.
Boasting as the “Original Teen Horror Comedy,” Student Bodies
follows the crazed serial murderer “The Breather” as he picks
off sex-starved students one-by-one with everything from
paperclips, to a chalkboard eraser, to a horsehead bookend!
You’ll never look at horror movies the same again once you take in
this original spoof-hit that can easily be seen as inspiration for all of
today’s “Scary Movies.” The laughter is as big as the scares as actor
Mark Blankfield takes on the dual-role of the famed Dr. Jekyll and
his “inner-beast” Mr. Hyde in the comedy-hit Jekyll and Hyde
Together Again. Robert Louis Stevenson would be turning in his
grave at this hilarious adaptation of his famous written work as
Jekyll’s other half, Hyde, finds himself more
interested in taking advantage of the 80’s
party scene - sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll –
than he is in terrorizing the local public.
Featuring superb comedic acting, this film
has it all and deserves a space in every
comedy library.
