Scott Glosserman's (C'99, Friars) Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" comes out on DVD today. This is a great take on the traditional horror film where Scott takes us in documentary style "Behind the Mask" of a serial killer. Fantastic premise. And to top that, the film features Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) and Zelda Rubinstein (Poltergeist)!

*******************************************************
The detailed premise of the film (from Netflix):
"A self-promoting serial killer who dreams of being the most infamous slasher of all time hires a documentary film crew to follow him as he launches a reign of terror on a small town. Preparing tirelessly for his murderous debut, Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel) shares his bloody ambitions with director Taylor Gentry (Angela Goethals) and her crew. Directed by Scott Glosserman, this quirky indie also stars Robert Englund and Scott Wilson."
"First-time director (and co-writer) Scott Glosserman gleefully hacks up horror cliches to deconstruct the genre with carnivorous, lip-smacking delight."
-- Michael Ordona, LOS ANGELES TIMES
