My Bloody Valentine 3D
Hosted by Adam Clarke and Sarah Chamberlain
You thought Adam & Sarah were going to discuss a movie about a killer dummy...APRIL FOOLS! The real dummies are your hosts for playing this prank, but we will be discussing Pin next episode (for real, we promise). In the meantime, this American remake of a Canadian slasher is used as a springboard to discuss the trends of slasher remakes over the last 15-plus years and their favourite character actors.
