Solving Your Halloween Weekend Ironic Camp Horror Viewing Party Crisis
The only thing that people love to do more on Halloween than dress up like the sexy version of someone's profession/nightmare is to get together and watch horror movies. These viewing parties fall into two camps: the earnest "let's turn off all the lights and try to actually get scared" camp, and the "fuck you, I'm drunk, LOLOL" camp. Personally, I tend to fall a bit more into the latter. I recognize that people genuinely enjoy horror movies and find them to be a decent outlet for their unexpressed anxieties or something, but I find that the world is a scary enough place, and leisure and entertainment and friendship, to me, generally involves not seeing anyone's nipples getting shorn off with dull tools. Weird. I'm such a weirdo.
So, if you are in the first camp, I don't know. See The Strangers for the third time or something. But if you're looking for more of a "beer me, dude," kind of a viewing party, might I suggest The Gingerdead Man? This movie is incredible! Think Leprechaun meets DELICIOUS COOKIES. With the vocal talent of Gary Busey. As an evil gingerbread cookie. Who kills people. You're welcome.
Trailer after the jump, as if you haven't already bought a copy on DVD.
So good. This movie almost makes me want to apologize to Hollywood for always telling it what a fuck up it is. Almost.

I've got a great one to, Monsturd. And yes, it was shot using shitty MiniDV cameras.

I feel like this is one of my areas of expertise so I would like to suggest Jack Frost (NOT the Michael Keaton bullshit). It may not have fancy Gary Busey but it does have a small part for Shannon Elizabeth. There was even a sequel entitles Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman. Subtle, I know.

"Frostbite! Next year we'll use mistletoe!"
I still have no idea what that means.

I've actually seen this. You only get to see Busey's crazed mug in the first 5 minutes (of a 70 minute long movie. And that includes credits.)

Zombie Strippers.

Feed.

Um, The Happening much?
Everyone who's seen it knows what to expect, everyone else will be expecting a good movie.
Score = 0
Also, it has a sequel, Passion of the Crust.
I don't know if I'm in pain in a good or bad way.

Anyone seen Sleepaway Camp? Fantastic. Chick gets a curling iron up her vagina. It's quite a thrill, really.
Score = 0
Awesome, more torture porn!
Score = -1
Grossest thing about Sleepaway Camp was that bitchy councilor pretending to actually want to get it on with that decrepit guy running the camp. WTF.
And if Gingerdead Man isn't your thing, there's always Jack Frost. A snowman raping Shannon Elizabeth is enough to make you want to blow up the world.

I've actually seen this movie. My favorite part was the necessary lesbian under tones. It was one make out scene away for being soft core porn. Overall it was better then Chucky because it has one thing Chucky doesn't, Gary Busey.
Score = 0
This movie is so deliriously bad that my brother literally died while watching it. Polio may have taken him to the edge, but this movie pushed him over. Whatever. He had it coming. Two thumbs up. Great holiday fun.
