One of the best Halloween movies

This has it all. Stereotypes (the virginal female lead, the frustrated boyfriend, the cool kid, the fat guy, the black guy, the goth girl, the slutty girl, the nerd) - all here; party at a spooky location (abandoned funeral parlour on the edge of town, the scene of a horrific multiple murder years ago) - check; John Carpenter-style synth score - definitely; dodgy acting - and how! An hour and a half of marvellous 80's Halloween teen horror. Put your brain in neutral and just go along for the ride! 8/10

I agree, it’s great! Even hold up.

It's a fun movie. Great late night entertainment.

I’ll be here next Saturday and hopefully I’ll get some pics. My kids are excited about meeting Amelia Kinkade.

I’m bringing my VHS copy of Summer Camp Nightmare. 😀

'My kids are excited about meeting Amelia Kinkade.'

Nice! 👍 I didn't know she still did conventions!

Cool, have fun.

Good turn out there for Friday the 13th: Part VI - Jason Lives (1986). Also Frankenhooker again! She gets around.
