Talk:Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Untitled
Okay, somebody needs to fix this. No content, ends in gibberish, not set to conformed standards.

No reference to "C'est arrivé près de chez vous", the critically-appraised belgian movie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.83.25.228 (talk) 23:29, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Horror Film Allusions
Although it's really fun to speculate on the easter eggs in this film, they should probably come with a fair warning in the section header explaining that the allusions are speculative. It's probably okay that there aren't citations for them -- they are secret gems, after all, and most likely unverifiable unless someone's gotten the filmmakers to spill the beans in an interview -- but, at the same time, it should be pointed out that the references COULD be incorrect. For instance:

1)

"Zelda Rubenstein's character, "Mrs. Collinwood", is a reference to the Collinwood estate in Dark Shadows, a Gothic soap opera which featured vampires, ghosts and werewolves."

I'd take a close look at LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT - The Collingwood residence, specifically. There's definitely a horror allusion here, but as to which movie, it's speculative.

2)

"Leslie's real last name (Mancuso) is the name of the actor who portrayed Billy in the 1974 film Black Christmas, Nick Mancuso."

This could be true, or it could be a coincidence. I think, more likely, Mancuso is an allusion to the producer of the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise, Frank Mancuso.

"Deaths" Section
The "Deaths" section seems like an odd and possibly unencyclopedic inclusion. Not certain enough to remove it myself, but, perhaps grounds for discussion. Thoughts? SteubenGlass (talk) 21:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not a good section to have in an article. It falls under such sections as trivia and deleted scenes. Therefore, I deleted the whole section. (Deftonesderrick (talk) 19:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC))

Hatchet II
In Hatchet II one of the characters says that he is from the town this film is set in and mentions Leslie Vernon by name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.254.89 (talk) 06:07, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Sequel section
"Originally thought to be a prequel, but the IMDb shows the cast including Angela Goethals and Ben Pace reprising their roles as Taylor and Doug, which makes a prequel somewhat unlikely."

I'd remove everything after "Doug" and just end the sentence there. IMDB also lists Kate Lang Johnson, who played Kelly, as appearing in B4TM. Her character did not survive.

Robert Englund is currently not listed on the IMDB page.

In it's fundraising adverts, the facebook page clearly states "Before the Mask" is the film's title, though the subtitle is "The Return of Leslie Vernon" so it's not conclusive. They are currently less than half way to their goal of $90,000.

If you want speculation, then most likely the original cast will all appear in or near the end of the new film as stalking victims, since in "Behind the Mask" Taylor suggests that Leslie must have studied her and her friends before he chose them. Ahab was the psychiatrist treating Leslie Mancuso before he moved to Glen Echo, so Ahab, if Englund signs on, will probably take on the role filled by Taylor in the first one for spurring conversations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.60.33.136 (talk) 17:20, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
