I went in blind and knew nothing about it.

I always heard it was a cult classic…….what in the frick just happened

That ending is permanently burned in my retinas for eternity

Board thoughts on this one?

These movies were a right of passage as a kid. Parts 2 and 3 had the best boobs

Yo, Angela. How come you're so fricked up?

Perfect mix of comedy & old school mean spirited bullying. I've seen this movie many times & always notice something new. The characters & the dialog are fascinatingly bizarre.

I showed it to a buddy of mine & he asked, "Is this taking place in an alternative dimension?"

Movie was a lame ripoff of Friday the 13th until the end, which is the only thing it's known for. Sequels are much better.

And now you know that the "cult" is really just people who have watched it, bonding together to share their trauma.

This image, and the rest of it, is also implanted into my brain from the first time I saw it.

I think the actress makes a pretty good living doing the horror movie and haunted house circuits this time of year. Good for her.

I watched this last October for Halloween. I thought it was pretty terrible. But I can see why it would r caused a ruckus back in the day when it came out.

I didn't realize until I was older that the guy that played Ben, was James Earl Jones dad.

Watched it again last night then went down a YouTube rabbit hole and learned a lot more about it.

The mother of the actress that played Angela wouldn't let her perform any of the killing scenes so they got the actor that played Ricky to do it.

Obvious the director didn't know that this film would be digitally enhanced decades later which is why Ricky was seen in the cabin door scene. In the original you couldn't see his face.

Angela's real life mom also didn't want her in the ending scene so they paid a local college kid to do it, got him drunk, and put an Angela mask on his face. The college kid is not credited and has never came forward.
