Twisted Nightmare (1987)

“What the fuck is summer camp? Is it like camping school? That sounds terrible. Why let the school do to camping what it already did to shit like books? In the movies, it's some kind of breeding ground for teenage drama, steamy romance, and extreme (scarring) harassment. Which makes sense--but that's also how high schools are portrayed in cinema, so I don't quite trust it. It is fun to watch though. Shit goes does down at camp apparently--there is always some kind of life-changing event that takes place while there. The subject range is wide, beginning with romantic tragedy, stopping at comedy and ending with surprise genitalia. Kids “come of age” at summer camp, fall into a life-defining love, learn a fucking important lesson or two, and in some cases, commit a truly cruel act of violence against another human that will come back to haunt them. Whatever the case, whether love or murder, we are given an impression that the effects of that summer at camp will last a lifetime (although that will be shorter for some). No matter what the actual events of summer camp (or maybe cheerleader camp, etc) turn out to be, it changes the lives of those in attendance forever. The ripple of summer camp can be felt years later for a film's character (s) through something like a lost love returned, or in those times when it turns out the token summer camp dead-kid isn't really deceased as initially thought. Movie summer camp is like a long high school prom in the woods, and that's a great petri dish when it comes to horror antics. Since I'm not a “first romance” kind of guy, most of the summer camp movies I usually dig end in carnage, but for the most part, they start with the same shit. Usually, at some point early (sometimes very early), some gang of camp dick-bags does something fucked up to someone else (because camp is just a little like kid prison in movies but with pinecones). The act can be all kinds of shit, and isn't relegated to camper on camper violence. It comes in a few flavors, and each varies a little, but sooner or later, everyone is running around the campgrounds getting stabbed and shit. You know, the fun stuff. Something 1987’s Twisted Nightmare did not forget to include...” - RevTerry

gifset tribute to Laura from Twisted Nightmare because she's so awesome, being all traumatized and evil and protective of her brother, and I'm feeling reverential.
