Really Awful Movies: Ep 58 – Boggy Creek 2

This one is a bad bigfoot movie by the same guy who incredibly, directed The Town that Dreaded Sundown, Charles B. Pierce.

Dr. Lockhart is a University of Arkansas crypto zoologist, on the hunt for the legendary beast.

Lockhart recruits the help of two of his students, Tim and Tanya, as well as Tanya’s friend Leslie, none of whom have any experience in anthropology, zoology or any related discipline. Good help is hard to find.

The group heads to the eponymous Boggy Creek, and set-up camp in the woods with a pop-up trailer, and secure their perimeter with a SONAR system.

They keep an eye out for the elusive beast, while the doc relates to the group tales he had heard centered around the creature, presented in flash backs.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 57 – Sleepaway Camp

Sleepaway Camp is an infamous 1983 exploitation slasher.

“Dear mom and dad, I’ve been at sleepaway camp for almost three weeks…and I’m getting very scared!”

We reflect on our own summer camp experiences and discuss the movie.

Like most 80s slashers, Sleepaway Camp has a prologue in which the girl’s father is run over by a boat and then a “flash forward so many years…”

This one is about that young girl and her cousin (Jonathan Tiersten, whom we’ve met at London’s Shock Stock) sent to a summer camp, where a group of killings begins shortly after their arrival.

It’s known for a shocking ending that remains shocking to this day, making it a cut above your usual 80s slasher fare.
