## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The last house on Cedar Lane in Glen Echo, October dusk, a butcher’s apron hung on the back fence.

Leslie Vernon shows documentary filmmakers how to stalk preppy teens, reset traps and rehearse eerie emanations.

A slasher-school featurette stretched into a feature by one fanatic’s unblinking curriculum vitae.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, playful, unhinged
