Popcorn (1991)/Shudder
Even by 1991, Schoelen is still carrying books around. Schoelen just seems synonymous with school and killers bumming her youth. Villard was a big fave from One Crazy Summer, Walston obviously from Ridgemont High, Minter from The Dream Child, that loudmouth film student remembered for getting crushed by Christine, Roberts from Amityville 3D as the film professor inspiring his students to put together a Castle gimmicked theater, and Dee Wallace who makes the mistake of going into a dark theater alone. I'm all about a notorious horror film, burn victim wearing a prosthetic mask, anything paying homage to William Castle and 50s scifi and horror, and a colorful theater where a killer lurks. Not a potent slasher film, and some might say is an example of the genre enduring the wane of the 90s, but I adore Schoelen -- yeah, it's a lot of lust but I digress -- and Villard prior to his death is so much fun .
