teenage horror slasher films in having actually teens in them

[craigsters]

Portraying 20 something year old's as high school teenagers since 19-- <-- insert last two digits where minus sign would be, this get's annoying and at the same time making me think, the actually age of the teenager victim and wonder who are they kidding!..

Does it bother you seeing young adults portrayed as teenagers in slasher films? can you name any that actually had teenagers in them?

It comes down to acting ability. Scream wouldn't have been the same with actual teenagers.

The Babysitter is a pretty good one...

I personally only like a horror movie based upon True Events or taking with a tad of comedy. In this case, it's a horror comedy.

I'm watching the above slasher film, and not one of the teens looks any younger then 24 and possibly born in the last century

I'm more of a psychological or cosmic horror kind of a guy, but I do like me some classic slashers. I'm an oldschool Grindhouse films fan too.

I don't care if the actors are older, so long as they're passible for the part.
But I don't think that's actually critiqued enough because it's a little on the taboo side of the wardrobe and makeup department to make that happen. Casting for the role could also be a factor because I mean why would you cast someone who looks like a matured young adult as a teenager? Maybe cast someone who does not look as matured.
It CAN be done, it just usually isn't done well. Usually.

I'm probably gonna be the first one to die in a horror movie.

I used to make jokes with my friends about casting extras for dead bodies in horror movies. How exactly does that ad look? "WANTED: One Dead Hot Chick." lol
