Hollismason posted:You should definitely check out Sleepaway Camp then post your reaction to the film in the thread. I watched it first thing this morning. Here was my reaction:  HOLY poo poo. What started as an somewhat unassuming cheesy slasher turned into shocker at the end. I am glad I somehow never got spoilered on that. I honestly thought there were some great performances in this too. I had NO IDEA what I'd been missing out on. Still forming thoughts about it there's a lot to look into and I'm still kind of researching stuff about the film but... YEAH! That's a top tenner! Antifa Turkeesian posted:I did think this one owes a fair amount to Sleepaway Camp as well as Friday the 13th, as the older sister’s costume seems like an exact recreation of what the one counselor killed by bees wears. Also the plot element of the younger sister being terrorized by other campers and a last-scene reveal about her actual name/identity, albeit a pretty tame one compared to Sleepaway Camp. You nailed it.

CelticPredator posted:I’d still put return over it. It’s got that badass song that plays when the zombies come out and it’s got zombies murdering cops. Partytime by 45 Grave they’re a great band I saw them support Mac Sabbath (McDonald’s themed black sabbath highly entertaining) I was lucky enough to meet the singer she was a sweetheart and very cool. It was covered by Send More Paramedics which should be this threads favourite band they’re a Zombie thrash metal band have 3 albums all of which are very different, the last album includes a Soundtrack to a movie concept it’s very synthy I can’t recommend them enough and they’ve just got back together after a long hiatus.

I don’t really know music well. I’m weird and I mostly listen to film scores. I did say the song tho. I love that song.

Lastdancer posted:I watched it first thing this morning. Here was my reaction: The weirdest thing about Sleepaway Camp to me is the old camp owner who gets excited about going in a date with his teenage employee right before they’re both killed, because he’s otherwise portrayed as a normal, kind guy. It seems like an artifact of an earlier version of the story before they cast an old man for that part.

What's a good horror novel to read while camping? I'll probably be spending about 10 days this month on the road sleeping in a tent and I want to bring my recently acquired Kindle with me and read something spooky that's preferably camping or at least wilderness related.

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy for appropriate to the environment. Copping Squid by Michael Shea because it's fun. A collection of Frank Belknap Long for the weird.

mccarthys books are good but his refusal to use punctuation is pretentious, obnoxious, and makes them borderline unreadable. Which is a shame bc like i said the writing is amazing.

I agree to an extent and it can be a barrier. For me, with Blood Meridian, it took awhile to hit the rhythm of letting it wash over me as I read. That book still gives me chills, and if you're camping while reading it for the first time, I envy that opportunity.

Timothy Dexter was an eccentric 18th century businessman who wrote a book called A Pickle for the Knowing Ones which contained no puncuation whatsoever. Later editions of the book included several pages of nothing but puncuation and instructions that readers that felt they were missing could "peper and solt it as they plese.".

Also Unrelated but Suspicious Death of a Minor owns. It has the tone and humour of Beverly Hills Cop while also being a gritty giallo about human trafficking and the brutal murders underage prostitutes. The soundtrack veers constantly between jaunty wacky hijinks tunes and something that sounds exactly like something by Goblin. Which compliments the tonal whiplash of the film perfectly. It even has a long slapstick laden car chase and a running gag where the main character keeps breaking his glasses.

I think the version used for the movie had different lyrics it’s known as the Zombie Version Very young, gettin' kicks Cruisin' around, '56 Drinkin' beer, drivin' fast This party is their last They'll dance on the graves Sparin' soul, savin' slaves They don't know the acid rain Is comin' down to make 'em insane Do you wanna party? It's party time We gotta party It's party time They never had the chance Shiftin' gears, wastin' gas This party is a blast Paid their wage, seems to me "That's life" is what the dead say

Also reading a story from Night Shift or another King short story collection before bed every night is a great vacation move. I remember reading Gray Matter on a cold West Virginia evening and being real creeped out.

Two recent horror adjacent books I would really recommend are: The Cabin at the End of the World-- a married couple and their adopted daughter are held hostage by a group of people claiming the family will need to murder one of their members in order to stop the world from ending. A Children's Bible-- a bunch of rich teenagers are for some reason living in a big shared house while their parents drink themselves into oblivion. You slowly realize over the course of the novel that the climate apocalypse is happening But I like reading Westerns when I go camping so I really recommend: Outlawed--an alternate reality where the United States was decimated and destroyed by a plague in the 19th century leads to an extended wild west and one in which barren women are feared as witches. A barren midwife runs away to join a gang of crossdressing lady outlaws led by their nonbinary leader to find a way to discover what makes women barren. It's an amazing book.

I read this trying to find new horror authors and found it pretty underwhelming. It felt like an amateur attempt to me and didn't click.

That's fair. I did read it in the middle of a bunch of other stuff that didn't engage me, so maybe it got caught in the miasma.

I really like Paul Tremblay, although I didn’t think Cabin at the End of the World was his best. A Head Full of Ghosts is excellent. His prose is probably never gonna wow you though.
