EVIL LAUGH
dir. Dominick Brascia, 1986
87 mins. United States.

“Ten years ago something terrible happened in this house… This weekend, it’s about to happen again.”

A group of medical students take a weekend to fix up an old house where a mass murder occurred 10 years earlier.”

An early example of the self-aware slasher that Scream would later epitomize, EVIL LAUGH falls heavily on the campy side of the equation. This meta fright-fest features a Fangoria-reading nerd who calls out the horror-tropes as they happen, a preppy couple in matching fedoras, unsafe pranks, and a house-cleaning dance break montage that will haunt you for weeks to come.

Directed by the chocolate-eating ‘disabled’ guy from FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING and co-written, produced by, and starring Scott Baio’s brother Steve, this is low-budget horror comedy at its best (worst).
