Morning all. Hope you had a great weekend.

I was in the mood for a horror movie set at camp and found a couple. I watched one made in 83 called Camp Sleepaway. It actually wasn't too bad, has some out of date thinking around some issues (won't say because it's a spoiler) but the special effects are surprisingly really good, especially for the 80s.

And how good was 80s fashion??

Also I've noticed in the older movies, kids sound whiny as. Think how Luke Skywalker sounds at the start of a New Hope. That high pitched whine when he can't go to Toshi Station.

But the real star of the show was this guy. The total package and screen stealer. I laughed for a good five minutes at this part.

No Dan. The fashion was not good in the 80s. I owned a pair of brown corduroy knickerbockers and wore them with knee-high socks and desert boots. You are wrong.

Oh, I didn't know you had a role in the movie. πŸ˜†

(I'm pretty sure that look is in the movie)

We all wore "the fashion" but it was not good. Don't get me started on the very pointy shirt collars and the skivvies.

That's Mr Seagoon's Christmas present/package sorted. πŸ‘
