Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th (2000)

A very funny, competently made spoof film that lampoons everything from Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Halloween, Friday the 13th and everything in between. It's silly and irreverent and can be enjoyed regardless of whether you're familiar with the material or not. This film will undoubtedly be compared to Scary Movie, which came out the same year and skewers much of the same targets, but I think this one stands on its own without comparison.

Body Bags (1993)

An anthology of three horror shorts; two shot by John Carpenter and one by Tobe Hooper. Hooper's was so badly cast I couldn't get to the end of it; Mark Hamill (great as The Joker, and Majima Gorō, but sucks at everything else), Twiggy (utterly useless in everything ever) and Sheena Easton (don't even start me on her) fail at everything asked of them. The only notable actor is David Warner.
Introduced by Carpenter, with cameos from some genre greats including Wes Craven, Sam Raimi and Roger Corman it’ll pass an hour and a half of your life without making you want to kill all involved; or if you're like me, about 70 minutes of your life before the square button comes into play.
