Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is one of the smartest, funniest, and most layered takes on slasher mythology we’ve ever gotten. It breaks down the rules, rebuilds them, and still gives you a killer who earns his place among the greats.
In this podcast episode with Aleister Sharkwater, we're diving into why this movie works, what makes Leslie such an effective meta villain, and how the film pulls off being both a mockumentary and a love letter to classic slashers.
