This is so much better than Scary Movie 1and 2

I thought this movie was far funnier and more interesting than either scary movie movies (uh... vomit!). The concept of the breather is ingenious! "Oh these stairs!" LOL. The whole opening scene is hilarious! "Julie, you're not responding to my maleness." LOL. "Wholy s---! No!" (he says so half-heartedly you can't help but laugh). The whole horsehead book ends thing is classic! I only wish it would come out on DVD, but we all know it won't! GRRR!

This is an all time horror spoof classic!the first time I saw it was when i was about 7 years old and i thought it was completely bizzare! the film grows on you the more you watch it - the bit where the breather is talking through the rubber chicken is pure class! it's taken me ages to get hold of a copy of this again - hope it eventually comes out on DVD...

Who knows? As cheap as it is to put movies on DVD now we just might see it released.

The Scary Movie series tried too hard. Too many big name actors and too many references that aren't from horror movies. Did the movies have to have Pam Anderson and Michael Jackson? Did they need Dr Phil and Shaq? Student Bodies hit the nail on the head. Just mock the horror films and get that right without worrying about the rest of popular culture.

I thought one of the funniest scenes was when he blew his load through the telephone. I'm watching it on YouTube right now...classic!

I saw this movie years ago & thought it hilarious I invited all my friends over and played it for them (I think we were about 16 ) and we use to reference it all the time especially the gum and the horse head bookends!! I endede up buying it really cheap on VHS and its still proudly in my movie cabinet 17 years after I first saw it.

Just got done watching it on The Movie Channel. I haven't seen it in 15 years but it still holds up. Good movie!

The Movie Channel showing was the first time I've watched it, and I really was surprised. After years of reading reviews castigating the film, I now have to wonder what those supposed critics were looking for? Sure, it falls apart a little toward the end -- but how many movies do that? --, yet it still is among the best parodies of the genre ever released. A solid 7. Steve V.

Obviously the Scary Movie franchise was influenced heavily by this film. I loved it, and just saw it for the first time a few days ago.

I think I still like "Wacko" better, though hard to tell which had the bigger influence over the Scary Movie series.
