The 1998 slasher film "Urban Legend" was based on the admittedly very cool premise of a serial killer who murders people
based on common urban myths -- stories that supposedly happened to "a friend of a friend," but that never actually occurred anywhere. In this day of Internet-fueled false warnings about non-existent dangers (Look out for guys who hide under your car and slash your ankles when you arrive!), a movie about them was a great idea. Unfortunately, "Urban Legend" sucked, partly because it ran out of good urban legends to use and had to start making them up, and also partly because it eventually turned into just another teen horror flick.
