Recommendation 2 Funny Slasher Recs
Since Camp Miasma is out and Adum seemed to enjoy that, here are couple movies I think the horse should check out.
Pieces (1982) - One of my all-time fave slashers cause it’s got everything you’d want. Wacky gory kills, nudity, craziness, random shit, fun mystery, cheese, and unintentionally hilarious WTF-ery. If you enjoy Silent Night, Deadly Night, another fave, there’s a good chance you’ll dig this. I think this is a must for at least a watch-along but would make for a great Adum & Pals.
Note: watch the English dub with the CAM score. It’s the default version on the home releases. Never seen the Spanish language version with the more serious sounding music. I’d like to but you’ll probably lose out on a good amount of fun and laughs.
The Hills Run Red (2009) - I could totally see this one being an Adum & Pals too, but again a watch-along would be fun. It’s got the actor Tad from Amusement. Robert Meyer Burnett, a YouTuber, is a producer. Just a good funny bad watch with friends. There’s a scene or two where the editing is kinda wild. Bad acting. No one ever talks about this movie, but when I finally got around to it after being hyped up by the horror community I was astounded that it was like an unintentional comedy.
You might not have heard of these, so I wanted to bring attention to them to this sub!

Another note: I saw Pieces on 35mm once late at night in Chicago and the crowd were eating it up! Peeps were laughing and having a ball with it.

You should check out Jennifer 1978.
It's a Carrie knock-off that is competently filmed and has some great character moments of horror. But the last 20 min goes off the fucking rails. I literally blew beer out of my nose laughing. Its seriously a classic B flick that needs attention.

Adding it to the watchlist. Thanks for the rec. I’m always down for a movie that plays it straight then throws all pretense of normalcy to the wind at the end. I think there’s a Letterboxd list dedicated to movies like that. Also interested in movies that are nuts from beginning to end of course.

Pieces is incredibly underrated. There’s a ridiculously over the top opening scene and you can tell watching it that a major portion of the meager budget was dedicated to the practical effects. A favorite from my “camp” phase in my early 20s

Also! Pieces has TWO great taglines! Which you can hear in the trailer.
