Pandemonium (1982)
Dir- Alfred Sole
Tom Smothers stars as the brave Mountie Cooper, who along with his bitter Deputy Johnson played by Paul Reubens must track down a killer who is stalking overage coeds at a nearby cheerleader camp. Another silly slasher spoof that is quite funny and pokes fun at some contemporary horror films like Carrie, Halloween, Friday the 13th and Dressed To Kill. Along with Student Bodies and Wacko, Pandemonium parodied the many teen slasher movies of the era focusing on cheerleaders instead of the prom. The film also features a cast of then-unknown stars including Carol Kane as a Carrie-like psychic teen, Judge Reinhold, Eve Arden, Eileen Brennan, Marc McClure and even the late Phil Hartman. Surprisingly Pandemonium is quite amusing for a parody, and Carol Kane shines in her role showing her potential as a comedy actress.
