April Fools’ Day can be a divisive holiday, but I’ll always love it for one reason: it inspired April Fool’s Day, the 1986 slasher flick that plays it straight until the twist at the end cleverly reminds you exactly what the holiday is all about.

Here are 10 movies that’ll provide far more enjoyment than sitting on a fartin’ whoopee cushion or falling for an internet hoax. These are horror movies that know they’re horror movies—and proceed have a lot of fun with it. Make them your new April Fools’ Day tradition!
