Horror movie with fourth-wall-breaking "warning signs"
 
Hello everyone!

I'm looking for a movie my dad has been looking for for a long time (I want to give it to him for fathers' day :)). It's a horror movie that's at least a couple decades old, where signs and other things on the screen warn viewers during the movie. My dad always says that there's a part where someone leaves a door open and a sign saying "door open, not smart!" with an arrow appears next to it .

That reminds me a lot of the 'rules' that appear on screen in Zombieland, often with brilliant comic effect:). Maybe your dad's film influenced it.

Could be! I've never watched zombieland and neither has he, maybe I can try giving him that instead if I don't find the *real* thing :)

:lol: Well, yeah, if audience-specific signs are his thing;). I loved it; hopefully they will do the sequel.

Good answer - although it doesn't break the 4th Wall for the viewers of the movie, just in the movie. :cool:

I'm not sure but I believe the movie your father is looking for might be Student Bodies (1981), although it's more of a parody of slasher films than an actual horror movie. It is most famous for keeping a running tally on screen of the body count:

No, that's not it I'm afraid :) Thanks for looking though!

Wow, I think that might be it! I have no way of knowing it for sure until my dad sees it, but it sure looks like how he described it :)

Thanks! I'll report back here after my dad has seen the film!
