Saturday the 14th
Released in 1981, this goofy spoof borrows very minimally from the slasher genre: the title is a hat-tip to the previous year’s Friday the 13th and flings a knowing wink at horror’s fondness for tying its plots to specific calendar dates. Otherwise, it’s a romp about a family (headed by real-life couple Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss) that inherits a house that is a) haunted, and b) concealing an evil book that lurking vampires are obsessed with recovering.
