A 2007 Horror/Comedy B-Movie starring Leighton Meester.

A group of wealthy teenagers in the Orange County suburb of Blanca Carne are being murdered by a serial killer dressed as Horny the Clown, the creepy mascot of the Hella Burger fast food chain. One of the teens, Mackenzie, begins to investigate the murders on her own and soon discovers that all of the victims are connected by a Dark Secret committed by their parents years ago, and the killer now wants revenge by murdering their children.


This film provides examples of:

  • Accidental Misnaming: People referring to Chase and Crockers as "Cheese and Crackers" is a Running Gag.
  • Asshole Victim: Nearly every teen killed by Horny the Clown is portrayed as the epitome of a stereotypical white, suburban Spoiled Brat.
  • Bilingual Bonus: Blanca Carne means "white meat" in (grammatically incorrect) Spanish.
  • Bloody Hilarious: Most of the deaths in this film.
  • Bound and Gagged: Happens to Mackenzie near the end.
  • Butt-Monkey: Detective Crockers and Robbie.
  • Deadly Prank: Mackenzie's mother reveals to her that she and her friends pulled a prank on Archie by crashing his 18th birthday and scaring him with the mask of Hella Burger's mascot, Horny the Clown. It went horribly wrong when he got knocked unconscious and the candles from his birthday cake started a fire that ultimately claimed his life.
  • Died on Their Birthday: Archie was killed in a fire accidentally caused by Mackenzie's mother's friends on the night of his 18th birthday.
  • Emo Teen: Mackenzie and, to a lesser extent, her other friends.
  • The End... Or Is It?: Before Horny/Archie is killed, he manages to grab Fisher, turning his eyes blood red and sending him to the hospital. Later, Mackenzie visits his hospital room but he has mysteriously disappeared. Cut to a new Horny the Clown appearing back at a Hella Burger restaurant...
  • Expy: Horny aka Archie, of Freddy Krueger. He was burned alive and is seeking revenge by killing the children of his killers. He also shares similarities to Cropsey, in that the fire that caused his death was intended as a prank. The in-universe Horny character is pretty clearly based on Ronald McDonald, since he's a clown who serves as a mascot for a fast-food business (though the use of "Ronald McStalker" as a nickname for Horny at one point implies Ronald exists in this universe too).
  • Fat Comic Relief: Detective Crockers. In every scene.
  • Final Girl: Mackenzie. Technically, her boyfriend Fisher also survives but it is implied that he has been possessed by Horny at the ending.
  • The Jailbait Wait: Fisher is patiently waiting for Mackenzie's 18th birthday when she becomes "legal".
  • Kill It with Fire: How Mackenzie defeats Horny.
  • Magic 8-Ball: Mackenzie owns one, which Horny uses to communicate with her at one point.
  • Monster Clown: Horny, obviously.
  • Only Sane Woman: Mackenie and Detective Chase.
  • Ouija Board: Horny communicates hints to his next murder victims through an Ouija board, a Magic 8-Ball, and an Etch A Sketch.
  • Police Are Useless: Detective Crockers, a fat and incompetent cop who serves more as the film's Plucky Comic Relief than anything.
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Horny is fond of these. While such is common among talking slashers Horny is of the few with Fridge Brilliance given that in life he was socially awkward and his biggest claim to fame was staring in overly cheesy commercials.
    • "Employee of the month's 'bout to fuck you up!"
    • "I said ... would you like to die, fatass?
  • Pretty Fly for a White Guy: The beginning of the movie has Horny murder a group of obnoxious wigger teens.
  • Punk Rock: Mackenzie is the singer of an (embarrassingly cliche) punk band at the start of the film.
  • Shout-Out: Many, notably a couple to The Shining. Also see Expy above.
    Horny: All work and no play make Horny a dull boy.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: It turns out that Horny the Clown is the possessed spirit of Archie Benjamin, the geeky son of Hella Burger founder Jack Benjamin, who was accidentally killed in a prank gone awry by Mackenzie's mother and her friends. He has now returned to kill all of their children in vengeance. Because he had a crush on her mother, he has saved Mackenzie for last.
  • Token Wholesome: It is repeatedly emphasized that Mackenzie is the only virgin in her group of friends. Ad nauseam.
  • Town with a Dark Secret: Blanca Carne.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Archie.
  • Your Head A-Splode: One of the deaths. By way of a microwave.
