The title of this film reflects the custom in Hollywood of replacing a director's name with "Alan Smithee" if the director wants his name removed from a film's credits. In this story, the director's real name IS Alan Smithee, which presents more than a few problems.

Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th 2000  R, 86 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: John Blanchard
Cast: Julie Benz, Majandra Delfino, Tiffani Thiessen, Simon Rex, Tom Arnold, Coolio, Aimee Graham, Kim Greist, Harley Cross, Mink Stole
Now we're making spoofs of spoofs of teen slash movies, but this one has a couple of fun moments and originality–like the character names. Hagitha Utslay (Tiffany-Amber Thiessen) is a reporter for Empty-V News and is now covering the murder rampage going on at the high school. Not only is the killer inept, but so is the security man–Doughy (Tom Arnold)–who is hired to protect the students. Got my drift?
