It's that time of year again, time for summer camp ! That means chiggers, poison ivy, campfire games and of course slashers killing innocent campers with all manners of camping instruments ! Here are three of my favorite summer camp related Horror Movies from the 1980s in no particular order, I didn't include any of the Friday The 13th 
only because everyone knows about those. The Burning, Sleepaway Camp, and Madman just to name a few, kept us all afraid of the dark woods.
Updates : The producers are working hard to get the new version into production. Pick up the original in the new CODE RED 30 Year Anniversary MADMAN DVD release at Amazon.com or rent it on iTunes or from YouTube's new movie rental department. 
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Zombie Nightmare
( 1986) I always loved Mystery Science Theater 3000 
especially the last few seasons and really hated to see it come to an end. This is one of my favorite episodes because it combines MST3K and classic 80's Horror. The Plot: When a young baseball player is struck and killed by a car full of rambunctious teens, his grieving mother convinces a mysterious voodoo priestess to resurrect her son, allowing his zombied corpse the vengeance necessary to finally rest in peace. With Adam West,as the police detective and classic 80s players Tia Carrere, Jon Mikl Thor, Lots of Cheese and Laughs ! also available uncut
and on instant view
The Changeling
(1980) This is a really entertaining and truly scary horror movie, a great one to watch late at night. It was recommended to me by a good friend who is also a movie buff but not into horror at all, so I was skeptical going into it but really loved it. George C Scott gives an awesome performance as always. Not a lot of cheese or gore like most of the movies I recommend but just a really good horror movie with great atmosphere that sticks with you. Trivia: The movie is based on events which supposedly took place at a house in Denver, Colorado, in the 1960s. The Chessman Park neighborhood in the movie is a reference to Cheesman Park in Denver, where the original haunting transpired. 
(1981) with Michael Cain.
