About this movie

Dr. Wexler (Robert Englund), professor of American Folklore at New England's Pendleton College, states that urban legends exist only to convey hidden moral lessons for all who hear them. But the students at New England's Pendleton College are finding out just how fatal these stories can really be. When a series of murders occurs among Pendleton's faculty and student body, Natalie (Alicia Witt), a young, bright student, begins to notice a bizarre link between the killings. Recognizing that all of the deaths have a resemblance to one urban legend or another, Natalie investigates Pendleton's own 30-year-old legend about a series of murders at the hand of an abnormal psych professor. She then discovers a twisted plan to create the ultimate urban legend and her lifeless body is the centerpiece. 1998 Phoenix Pictures Inc. All Rights Reserved.

One of my very favourite late 1990s-early 2000s teen movies! The car with no headlights on following another car is spirit-startling, in a sense. Please remember that it is important to find an adult and/or authority figure with whom you feel safe and secure enough to talk through any troubling thoughts you may possibly somehow find yourself experiencing from time to time. A fresh perspective, sober secomd thought, and likely ~impartial and/or less annoyed by being bogged down w/ details+wastedT.

Worth a watch but by no means a masterpiece. Nonetheless it has a decent twist, good kills and a good cast. Definitely a 90s horror staple.
