31 DAYS OF DREW - DAY 23: CLUB DREAD

Every horrorhound's favorite month is upon us, and to celebrate, I'll be dishing out a personal pick from the genre for every day in October. Some will be obvious and rather unoriginal (sorry that I like movies other people like), while some will be a little more oddball and off-the-wall. Some may even challenge your idea of what constitutes a "horror" movie. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the month with some good movies, even if they aren't ones I recommend!

Today's Pick: Club Dread (2004)


Now, I know what some of you must be thinking right now: "The guys that made Super Troopers and Beerfest never made a horror movie!" Well, you'd be half-right. While Club Dread is never really going for the scares, it still follows the slasher template extremely closely, but decides to play the material for laughs instead of screams. While some would jump at the chance to call it a "spoof", it really isn't. It's actually one of the better slasher films made in the last few years and it just happens to be incredibly funny as well.
