Degrassi goes slasher!

Well, kinda.

In this episode, the latest batch of students at Toronto’s Degrassi Community School decided that the perfect way to end their summer is to go up to an isolated cabin in the woods.  I know, it doesn’t make much sense to me, either.  No one invites Clare because, by this point in the series, Clare had started to transform into Canada’s most dramatic yandere.  However, because Clare is upset over her mom marrying the father of her ex-boyfriend, she goes up to the cabin anyway and ends up getting lost in the woods.

Of course, all sorts of weird things are happening around the cabin.  Are the Degrassi students about to fall victim to the Canadian version of Michael Myers?  Or do they just have an overactive imagination?

This episode originally aired on October 24, 2011, in Canada.  It didn’t make it’s way over to the U.S. until November 18th, which definitely diluted its horror-themed impact.  In many ways, it’s typical of later-era Degrassi, in that the plot is kind of fun and cute but you can’t help but think about how much more fun it would be if it was Ellie, Emma, Manny, Craig, and Spinner in the cabin instead of their replacements.  But then again, that’s true to life.  No one stays in high school forever.

Anyway, enjoy the horrorthon’s final episode of Degrassi!  Tomorrow, we start a new show!
