Headlines From July 26, 1980
Full News Archive
- Headline: 'Dressed to Kill' Unveils Chilling Mystery. Impact: If the killer had chosen a different wardrobe, perhaps fashion week would have turned into a crime spree catwalk, where 'murder chic' became the hottest trend. Now, every time someone wears a turtleneck, a chill runs down the spine of the fashion industry. Fact: Did you know that Brian De Palma's films are just like his characters? They wear their hearts on their sleeves... and sometimes, their victims in their trunk.
- Headline: Caddyshack and Animal House Spinoff. Impact: The success of 'Caddyshack' and 'Animal House' led to an explosion of 'frat pack' films. Consequently, countless young men thought that wearing a Hawaiian shirt and acting like a buffoon was a solid life plan. The ripple effect? An entire generation of confused young adults. Fact: Fun fact: 'Caddyshack' was so influential that it single-handedly created a new sub-genre of comedy—'movies where the plot is just an excuse for golf jokes and bad behavior.' Bravo!.
