4d ago1:39:22

1:39:22

They didn't put an extra ~camp~ in the title for nothing! Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) is the sequel that did the absolute most by doing the absolute least. What this movie lacks in plot, it makes up for in pizzazz — and "party hats" galore. Seriously, it has its own in-universe Tit Patrol, and business is booming at Camp Rolling Hills…

Late Night with the Devil (2024) is making waves as the newest found-footage, real-time feature in horror, but does it live up to the hype? And what’s up with that AI art controversy?

Would it even be legal to do Obsession Month without putting Obsessed (2009) on the lineup? We knew we had to include this movie as soon as we came up with February's theme, and it doesn't disappoint.
