Urban Legend (1998) is a thriller movie starring Alicia Witt, Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart, Robert Englund, Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Michael Rosenbaum, Danielle Harris, John Neville, and Loretta Devine.
Urban Legend is based on the premise that a killer is using the methods of death described in certain urban legends (such as the fatal mixing of cola and Pop Rocks) as a means to kill his victims.
Parts of the movie were filmed at Trinity College School, Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, Uxbridge, Ontario, and Toronto, Ontario.
Alicia Witt's performance earned her a nomination for a Saturn Award for "Best Performance by a Younger Actor/Actress" by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA.
The film was followed by two sequels. The first, Urban Legends: Final Cut was released theatrically in 2000. The second, Urban Legends: Bloody Mary went straight to video in mid-2005.
