3. Professor Solomon (Hart Bochner) - Urban Legends: Final Cut
Once upon a time, Professor Solomon was a Film student whose future looked set he was going to become a world-renowned filmmaker who made simple yet thoughtful art films. That didnt work out, so he took a teaching job and began fantasizing about the day hed murder one of his students and pass their film off as his own. The trouble is, the student in question has an identical twin brother who turns up and starts digging, prompting Solomon to murder everyone with a tenuous connection to the movie. Concealing his identity behind a fencing mask, he starts killing his own students, on his own campus, one after the other, little realizing the finger of blame will point directly at him when theres no one left. When Final Girl Amy (Jennifer Morrison) figures out his diabolical plan, Solomon turns into a Scooby villain, tearing off his mask and giving a speech outlining his motives. Hes apprehended following a chase, then Shaggy runs into a wall, everybody laughs and Scooby says, Scooby Dooby Doooo! etc.
