Camp Horror
No. This isn't a topic requesting movies which feature cabins or campgrounds. It's a different king of meaning, 'camp', as in... self-aware, playful, so bad it's good. I'm sure you know what I'm getting at. What are some horror movies (if you love this 'sub-genre') that feature such a camp attitude? I've really began to dig them.

As in Troma?...I've discovered I don't care for Troma as much as I did when I was younger...I still really like the first Toxic Avenger though
Herschell Gordon Lewis is pretty campy...But, I like a LOT of those...For the gore, mostly |
"The Day It Came To Earth" is one of my faves, it is ultra-camp, and in a certain way a precursor to Night of the Creeps in that it has a zombie brought back to life by a meteor, and is a 50's period piece (although Creeps was only period in the opening scenes).
"The Day It Came To Earth" is pretty dorkball, with the actors hamming it up pretty bad. It's not meant to be taken remotely seriously but in a strange way is capable of producing a low-calorie chill or two amidst all the laughs. |

Yeah, you know, people criticize me for liking "Return of the Living Dead Part 2." I like that movie! It makes me happy! I don't care what all those people think, their opinions do not convince me that I am wrong to myself. It's a light movie. The main "bad guy" ends up being a zombie kid, of all things! It has millions of zombie makeups and effects--and most of it is really well done. Good music score by J. Peter Robinson. And it does have atmosphere. I seriously don't understand why so many people hate it as much as they do...I guess it's all the jokes or something.
