Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger were so successful in their killing sprees that they were bound to inspire copycats. And sure enough, the town of Glen Echo is about to meet its worst nightmare: Leslie Vernon? We meet Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel) as a 30-year-old, goofy and fun, the kind of guy who plays Xbox and smokes pot and probably made fun of frat boys when he was in college. He says that when he was a kid, the town suspected him of being evil and cast him into a waterfall to perish. Now, 20 years later, he's an affable, likable guy who happens to be preparing a horrific revenge. In "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon," a razor-sharp deconstruction of slasher films, he is the subject of a documentary being made by a grad student named Taylor (Angela Goethals) and her two cameramen, Todd (Britain Spellings) and Doug (Ben Pace). Leslie has allowed them to follow him in his preparations, and has even granted them unprecedented access on the night he actually embarks on his murderous rampage.
