Sleepaway Camp!

[NYFalcon1981]

I just got this on netflix and IDK what the writers/directors were smokin but they should share because this movie is one of the worst things i've ever seen.  I've seen some people regarding this as a horror/slasher classic,  I think we should let Mike and the guys have a go at this stinker.

I saw the first sequel, Sleepaway Camp 2 as a kid, and hated it. I recently saw a clip of the ending of the first film in the documentary The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film. I never want to see this. That ending was enough for me to say, 'No thanks.'

I am sure this would be a no from Mike. Three words:
Male Frontal Nudity

It's definitely a riffable movie. But it's also one I can imagine Mike Nelson not wanting to touch with a ten-foot pole. You have children cursing so much it makes the South Park kids look like the Peanuts gang. You have a pedophile chef. There's obviously some weird lesbian thing going on between Meg and Judy. Remember the scene were the boys would rather go skinny dipping than go make out with the girls? Try not to notice that one of the boys is "pitching a tent", so to speak. Come to think of it, there are several scenes of "boys would rather go _________ than go make out with the girls" scenes. The flashback scene where the kids catch their father in bed with another man. A bunch of pre-pubescent boys get chopped up with an axe. The obnoxious biatch gets a curling iron up the hoo-hah. And then there's the ending. I won't say what happens in the ending. It's one of those things that if you don't already know, you're just going to have to find out for yourself. The whole thing is just so sexually confused.

Any movie that not only gives the cop character at the end a plastic moustache that is barely clinging on, but also gives him a lingering close-up, is one begging to be made fun of. And don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Mike do it. But knowing his sensibilities, he wouldn't even want to try.
