Summary
Whether Jared Leto wants to admit it or not, Urban Legend (1998) does exist, and it's still the best of the "Killer Gets Revenge By Re-enacting Well Known Urban Legends But Also Wears A Winter Coat Cause It Looks Cool" subgenre. That old chestnut.
Join your Horror Hosts Jon & Kim as they revisit this black sheep of the 90s Slasher canon and the only movie brave enough to remind us of the dangers of mixing pop rocks with drain cleaner. Twenty years before The Expendables made mashups cool again, Urban Legend brought together Horror icons Robert Englund, Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris, and Julian Richings for a blood-splattered whodunit with everything from a creepy gas station attendant to a ding dang microwave massacre.

| 1:24.6 | I'm mad, no, in the same sense that like hostile and saw are not copycats of one another, but part of the |

| 1:38.1 | This isn't a meta-horror. |
