Cinema is arguably the most popular site of camp making today. Arguably camp analysis' most famous entrance into pop culture was MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE 3000, which premiered in 1988 and stayed on the air till 1999. The show took the approach of playing campy movies meanwhile various human and robotic commentator's hilariously pointed out the films' flaws. This spirit of teasing out every bad moment of a film has been carried through the web, so please check out my links to great sites in the MST3K tradition.
While Camp Academy maintains the spirit of those endeavors with its occasional recaps, most of what you'll find on this page are reviews of camp films and occasional essays analyzing a general aspect of just what makes a film so gosh darn campy.
