On this Episode of the MacGuffin Guild, we'll be attending Slaughter High. The Classic 1986 Slasher starring Caroline Munro, Simon Scuddamore & Marc Smith. Directed by George Dugdale, Mark Ezra and Peter Litten. With music by the legendary Harry Manfredini.
We're going to dig into the trials and tribulations of high school, and the very real and lasting impact that bullies can have on someone -- both in film and in real life.
We'll also get into The Mighty Gosh, the 35-year old high-schooler Caroline Munro, whether or not Skippy Pollack is a bad-ass jock name, the telemarketer named Abraham Lincoln and British April Fools.
We'll discuss how both Pat and Mike were mere spectators at each other's high school fist fights and question how smart it is to knowingly take a full bath while your friends are being systematically murdered.
We'll also get into the very tragic real life story of Simon Scuddamore.
I'm Pat Dougherty and as always I'll be joined by my fellow MacGuffin's Justin Jones and Mike Antonio. Our theme song was written and performed by Jordan Vincent. Now get to your desk, get out your #2 pencils and prepare to take notes in Slaughter High!
Let's get to it!
