    The fact that Robert Englund and Brad Dourif were both in this is amazing, considering they’re the “profanity jokes” killers of what I call the big 6 of slashers. Jason can’t, Leatherface is too uneducated, Michael just doesn’t, Ghostface speaks but not a lot of jokes, and Freddy and Chucky make so many jokes that reference how they are killing

      Maybe now that this and Campfire Tales have died down to my knowledge, if anyone decides to reboot this franchise, maybe we can get that, though I still feel like it'd be kinda neat for it to turn out that the urban legends had someone behind them or something? I'm admittedly not sure how it'd work, but just thinking of an almost Tales from the Hood-style thing of supposedly unrelated vignettes, only for there to be something common among them and a TftH-style twist at the end that at least brings some of it together (like the three gangsters actually being the ones who killed Crazy K, only for it to turn out they're also dead and the funeral director is actually Satan).

      It's definitely something of a... I dunno if I'd call it a plot hole, necessarily, but it's super strange. I feel like it would've made more since, at least, if maybe if were a school parka? Like, it just came in that one color, had the school's insignia on it, that would at least explain the sheer number of them, even if not why so many people had them on hand outside of the winter months.

    I love Rebecca Gayheart. This film and Jawbreaker are so good and she’s really good in both. I love in this film, when you find out she’s the killer, she gets all southern sounding. She’s from East Kentucky (I’m from west Kentucky, right on the board line of Tennessee) and you can tell it’s a bit natural (some Kentuckians can blend in with their accents, like Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and George Clooney are all from Kentucky, but don’t really have the southern accent; I don’t really either, but I was born party deaf, so I grew up learning from television and movies rather than my parents, plus my dad also has a different accent, due to being from northern Kentucky, though he still has somewhat a southern accent).

    I will say this is one of the underrated slasher films. Lot of the kills are unique based on the many urban legends which is definitely a unique concept and the atmosphere and cast is pretty solid too. Plus you got many fun horror legends like Brad Dourif and Robert England in a few scenes too. They're always fun.

    Brad dourif, Robert Englund, and Michael Rosenbaum were the main reasons I first watched urban legend. I ended up loving it though.

    Like *_Scream 4_* - this is another horror movie where I cleverly and correctly worked out who the killer was when I first watched Urban Legend 👏🏼👍🏼 and the parka coat disguise is same in 2012 horror movie: *_ATM_* (with Brian Geraghty, Alice Eve & Josh Peck). James didn't mention David (Brenda's former fiancé) is Bailey in *_Bride of Chucky_*
    I knew Dean Adams garage death with slasher under his car gets Golden Chainsaw award 🏆 yet also like prank monkey Damon hanging in tree, goth girl Tosh strangled in dark - prefer Danielle Harris in this movie than Zombie's unlikable _Halloween_ movies, and I nearly choked watching Parker's kill 🤢
