Line 2:
2009 horror movie spoof from one of the executive producers of ''[[Scary Movie]]''. Not made by [[Seltzer and Friedberg]], but with a somewhat similar style, if slightly (slightly) higher quality. Was released straight to video.
 
''[[Stan Helsing]]'' parodies ''[[Van Helsing]]'', ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'', ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'', ''[[Friday the 13th (film)|Friday the 13 th]]'', ''[[Child's Play (film)|Childs Play]]'' and ''[[Hellraiser]]'' (but not ''[[Dracula]]'' or any other vampire film oddly enough). The villains of these movies (except ''Van Helsing'') are planning to kill the last descendant/reincarnation of ''the'' original Van Helsing and lure him and his friends out to a deserted movie studio lot to do it on Halloween.
 
It's mostly [[So Bad It's Good|pretty bad, but there a few redeeming features]]: a Leslie Nielsen cameo and Desi Lydic's endearingly ditzy performance as Mia, which belongs in a better movie.
