Scared Alive (1982)

A small group of cast memebers and film makers travel to a deserted island to film a horror movie. Soon, the actors and crew are being killed one-by-one with methods taken out of song lyrics. A pretty neat hidden gem of cheesy 80's horror. A good amount of gore and pretty cool death scenes. Rent it if you come across it. 3 out of 5.

Characters

• BJ: The lead actress for the movie and she really sucks. But I guess with a name like 'BJ' what can you expect?
• Donna: Dancer in the movie. Decides to take a shower at the wrong time and gets her flesh melted by battery acid.
• Jim: A member of the rock bad that is producing the music for the film. Has a bad attitude about the whole 'killer amoungst us' thing. Nailed with a nailgun.
• Franklin: Sleazy director who is trying to get BJ into bed with him. Stabbed through the bed with a machete.
• Steve: The main producer for the film who is is trying to get a positive message across the horror flick. I think he failed. Shot.
• Rick: Kind of an asshole, but ends up being the take charge kind of guy before he gets sawed to pieces with a chainsaw.
• Lyn: This poor chick. AS if being a woman in a horror movie isn't bad enough, she's on crutches. Nailed to a wall.
• Bert: Caretaker for the island who doesn't like the younger generation at all. Dies in a boat explosion.
• Taylor: The lead singer for the band who is always talking about Doomsday. Stabbed early on.
• John: Kind of a nerdy looking guy who suddenly thinks he's going to take the killer on. Killed off screen.
• Phil: This poor bastard gets boiled alive in a swimming poorl.
