CLASS REUNION (1982)
dir: Michael Miller


CLASS REUNION
Heavy Metal, November 1982
a: Berni Wrightson

Adaptation rather than parody, but somewhat fits with what we're doing here.

National Lampoon's follow-up to Animal House, their descent from one the most successful comedies of all time to one of the least successful of all time. When a trailer gives no clue as to what the movie is about and doesn't even feature any of the actors, it's a sign nobody had any faith in advance. Presumably they planned to foist this on the public by making them think it was a sequel to Animal House. It appears National Lampoon didn't even want people to know the movie existed and it didn't even meet what was then a low point for their editorial standards, running this promotional comic in their sister magazine Heavy Metal instead.

The plot, in a nutshell, is that back in high school, Walter Baylor (Blackie Dammett, father of Flea) is told at a party that the prom queen is across the field and wants to give him a handjob, but the condition is that they must wear bags over their heads because she's shy. When it's over, they take off the bags and he finds the girl is really his twin sister, and the whole class is there laughing at this prank. Ten years later, he has been driven insane by this and when he is invited to his high school reunion, he vows revenge on everyone and starts killing them off there (the actors shown here are Gerrit Graham, Stephen Furst, Shelley Smith, Art Evans, Fred McCarren, and Mews Small). The twin sister doesn't appear later at all so does that mean she was in on the prank?

Here's the whole movie in case you want to see it and don't mind reading backwards.
