Crackcoon, Cheerleader Carnage, and Halloween Horror: Must-Watch or Total Skip?
Hey everyone! Today’s episode is packed with spooky tidbits for Halloween season, but first, let’s dive into a couple of horror flicks that hit my watchlist.
Cheerleader Camp (1988) – Somebody’s killing cheerleaders at a camp, but it’s not as fun as it sounds. Sure, you've got Leif Garrett playing “Horny Boyfriend #1” and some absurd dream sequences that give off Nightmare on Elm Street vibes, but the movie itself? Honestly, it's a skip. It’s listed on many ’80s slasher favorites lists, but after finally watching it, I gotta say, "I want my 88 minutes back."
Crackcoon – Think Cocaine Bear, but swap the bear for a raccoon. Sounds promising, right? Sadly, this was another disappointment. The bloody raccoon on the poster is the best part, but the movie just didn’t deliver. Acting? Basic. Creature kill scenes? Lame. Binge now, binge later, or binge never? Yeah, it’s a "binge never."
On the bright side, AMC Fear Fest is in full swing with marathons for Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and even a Stephen King day. If you’re into creature features or classic horror lineups, you’ll want to tune in.
What's next? I’m covering The Lurking Fear and tackling all things Salem’s Lot, including the new drop on Max.
Grab some popcorn, catch my next review, and remember—you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. See you next time!
