Darkest Knight 2003
Excerpt from SHIRTLESS AND UNAFRAID: O N THE LAST GREAT ERA OF HIGH CAMP FANTASY by Brian Miller: www.grumpire.com/shirtless-and-unafraid-on-the-last-great-era-of-high-camp-fantasy/

Dismissing this as mere fan worship or some attempt to cheaply be placed in the same echelon as those films misses the point. The Scary of Sixty-First is…

Prom Night 1980
Prom Night is one of the more well-known films released during the hack and slash cycle of the ’80s, even among casual horror fans, perhaps because it received a requisite name check in Wes Craven’s 1996 landmark slasher film, Scream. Leslie Nielsen stars in Prom Night as the “name” meant to lure in older audiences, before his career transition to deadpan comedy star – though he stays off-screen for large stretches to give the film one of its many red…
