11 grade 11′ers, by the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day!”

Welcome to Cronenberg, the town where all horror movie clichés come true …

April Fielding, a student at St. Michael’s High, is given an assignment in Creative Writing class to pen a Hollywood style screenplay, picking a popular genre and obeying all of its conventions. She picks Horror, and gets to work on a script called “Remembrance Day,” using her friends and relatives as characters. But every time she writes a murder scene, one of her classmates meets a gruesome end in real life! Who could be copycatting an unfinished, unproduced screenplay, written by a local teenager? Has the Red Terror, April’s “fictional” villain, come to life? Is April the victim of a cruel practical joke? Or is she slowly going crazy?

One thing’s for sure. This time, the Red Terror has met his match. This time, the heroine is one step ahead. She knows how it ends, because she wrote the story!

Move over Laurie Strode. Step aside, Sydney Prescott. April Fielding is the Last Word in Last Girls.
