Student Bodies (US - DVD R1)

The box art begs us to consider Student Bodies a precursor to Scream, a mostly straight faced satire of slasher films, but its much more a precursor to the Scary Movie series, which are spoofs of the slasher cycle (specifically the post-modern slashers like the Scream and I Know What You Did series). Both Student Bodies and Scream tease the concepts of sex in slashers (and both open with When a Stranger Calls satires), but tone of the films is quite different. The concept of the horror spoof wasn’t invented by writer/director Mickey Rose (even if the box art states that too), it goes back to the days of Abbot and Costello, but his film does predate other slasher spoofs like National Lampoon’s Class Reunion (by one year) and Saturday the 14th (by a matter of months), so we can call him a ‘pioneer’.
