What would an Apatow-produced slasher film from Rich and Hader be like? Says Bill: 'It's partially Straw Dogs meets Halloween meets Home Alone meets The Monster Squad.' It's hard to argue against that.
'I don't know if it's even going to get made,' Hader told me. 'Judd met with us and said "I want to do a horror movie with you. I want to see you in a slasher movie."'
The film will be a horror comedy, and while Hader danced around giving away too much, he did describe it to me like this: 'It is definitely about guys nowadays, that idea that you watch fucked up shit on TV, how violence in our culture - this sounds really hoity toity - you watch fucked up reality shows, I love true crime shows. The idea of that thing coming to your house, and what do you do? I would shit my pants. That's basically what the movie is about. What if that guy decided to come to your house? What would you and your dipshit friends do about it?'

I've got little faith. Killer, I have to disagree. I love Tina Fey. XD!

"watch f*cked up sh*t on TV..."
THIS sounds like f*cked up sh*t...
No, Bill Hader is hilarious; he can transform "sh*t" into pure brilliance. I wouldn't say this idea will be brilliant, but it won't be sh*t, either. In other words: Could be good; won't be great...
Need to hear more...

they say, "If you can do comedy, you can do anything."
And I believe that.

This could work, Hader is really funny. Also, Apatow has a pretty good record so far.

Err
as a person who actually watches snl, i must disagree, killerman, bill hader is hilarious and some of the other people can still manage to pull an honest giggle from me from time to time.
i think that kristen wiig is played out but other than that i have no loud complaints.
i think letting bill try his pen at a horror script could have great results... "could".

Sounds like a roll of sh*t. They should have cancelled SNL way, way, way back. No one's funny on it. Neither that Tina Fey with her little impersonation. Now some writers try to do a horror comedy. Like i said a roll of sh*t.

Cool. It'll be good to see a fun take on horror without being a f*cking spoof.
