It’s April Fool’s Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey prank themselves by watching these two beauts.

The Classic Film: Killer Party (1986)
"Set just before April Fools Day, the story centers on a trio of sorority pledges who attend a dance held at a... frat house where two decades before a pledge lost his head in a hazing gone awry” (rottentomatoes.com). An oddly paced plot where an almost uncountable number of murders happen (but not until the very end), the final twist seemed to come out of left field only if you don't read any synopses.

The Modern Film: Cry_Wolf (2005)
"Eight unsuspecting high school seniors at a posh boarding school, who delight themselves on playing games of lies, come face-to-face with terror and learn that nobody believes a liar - even when they're telling the truth” (IMDb.com). An awful collection of mid-00s horror and other film clichés, Cry_Wolf thinks it is the Usual Suspects of horror and it very much isn't.
