| Bob Barker Returns To ‘Price Is Right,’ Brings The House Down (Video)
I’m usually fond of most holidays and celebrating them and being festive and such. April Fools’ Day is not one of those holidays. In fact, one could consider me the Scrooge McDuck of that particular holiday (or regular Scrooge, if you want to be less awesome). I would delete it from existence if I had the god powers to do so. Anyway! One thing great that did happen among the mess of trickery and pranks yesterday was the one and only Bob Barker returning to The Price is Right in a surprise appearance when current host Drew Carey was announced. And as you might have guessed, the place went totally nuts. You can check out a video of Barker’s return to hosting duties below, as well as a cool behind the scenes with Barker and Carey taking some questions from the audience.

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. unveiled a special limited exhibition today in honor of April Fools’ Day that was sure to delight comic book fans and lovers of a good joke alike: Wonder Woman‘s famous invisible jet.

Today is a day filled around the web with all kinds of April Fool’s Day articles, and it is also the perfect time for FOX to address Deadpool‘s rating controversy. There was some worry that the character, who has been known to shoot his mouth off with all sorts of vulgar statements, might have to be toned down for a more family-friendly PG-13 rating. This wouldn’t sit well with fans, as not even Deadpool himself would settle for something as mundane as a PG-13 rating. Now a new video interview between film star Ryan Reynolds and Extra‘s Mario Lopez hopes to calm some of those fears down with some answers and a few laughs. Hit the jump to check it out.

April Fool’s Day
Directed by Fred Walton
Written by Danilo Bach
Produced by Frank Mancuso, Jr.
Starring Deborah Foreman, Griffin O’Neal, Clayton Rohner, Jay Baker, Pat Barlow
Paramount Pictures
DVD | Instant Video
Original release dates: March 27, 1986 It only feels appropriate today to discuss one of the truly original horror films of one of the most unoriginal eras in horror history. The 1980s churned out hundreds of slasher films with disturbingly similar plots and characters. And since 1974’s Black Christmas, it felt every holiday got its own horror film; including Halloween, New Year’s Evil, and My Bloody Valentine. So it only made sense in 1986 to make another seasonal slasher: April Fool’s Day. Directed by Fred Walton, a horror aficionado whose 1979 When a Stranger Calls contains one of the great openings in horror history, April Fool’s Day is possibly the most unique thriller of the 80s, and an inspiration for the self-referential horror films in the mid-90s. The story is about Muffy St. John (Deborah Foreman), a rich teenager who is having a birthday bash in her island mansion. The most 80s group of friends show up to ferry over for the party. There’s the stoner guy, the hot popular couple, the blonde bimbo, the jock looking to score (a hilarious post Back to the Future Biff Tannen aka Thomas F. Wilson), and of course Harvey (Jay Baker) the Michael J. Fox-esque young Republican in training.
