We’re just a week and a half away from the start of April, so this seemed like the perfect time to release a new episode of the Real Slashers video series that takes a look at the 1986 classic April Fool’s Day (watch it HERE). To find out why you should be watching April Fool’s Day every year around this time, check out the video embedded above!
Directed by Fred Walton from a screenplay by Danilo Bach, April Fool’s Day has the following synopsis:
When a group of college students decides to spend spring break at the secluded island estate of their wealthy classmate, Muffy St. John, what starts out as a fun, hedonistic weekend turns into something more sinister. Muffy is very fond of practical jokes, and sets up numerous gags throughout her mansion. But, when friends begin going missing and turn up dead, they realize that they’re trapped on the isolated isle with a mysterious and brutal killer.

Here’s what Real Slashers is all about:
Ahhh the 80’s. A simpler time where the blood ran red, the boobies swung freely, and the weed was copiously smoked. A time where rampant killers were simply excuses for excessive sex and over the top murder. Yes, we’re looking at an era where the slasher movie ran wild over cinemas everywhere. Today, we’re looking at “Real Slashers.”
The show is Written, Narrated, and Edited by Tyler Nichols, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
