  • Summary

  • Camp, Scary and Squee is a weekly podcast that tests the theory that every horror movie exists on a scale of divine camp to pure terror.

    Damien is joined each week by a guest who brings a horror movie for discussion, dissection and classification on the Camp-Scary scale.

    Along the way we talk about what we love, what we hate and why horror is the way it is.

    The Camp-Scary Scale

    1) Divine camp

    2) Predominantly camp and just incidentally scary

    3) Predominantly camp though more than incidentally scary

    4) Equally camp and scary

    5) Predominantly scary though more than incidentally camp

    6) Predominately scary and just incidentally camp

    7) Pure terror

    Turn off the lights and pour a wine, it's time to get scared... And remember, don't scream! They'll hear you...

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
    Oct 1 2020

    "Admit it, Buffy. Aren't there times when you just feel... less than fresh?"

    Were you ever obsessed by a movie when you were a teenager? We were. But is all that nostalgia clouding our vision of this camp-horror classic? And was it really as good as we remember?

    Damien O'Meara is joined by fabulous friend, Emma O'Connor to talk all about Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992). And these two Aussies try to unpick if this movie gave them unrealistic expectations about life as an American high-schooler, cheerleading and the role of handkerchiefs in dramatic death scenes. Most importantly, Sarah Michelle Gellar will always be Buffy Summers (sorry Kristy Swanson).

    Movies and television shows named in this episode:

    • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
    • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)

    Note: It turns out that teaching yourself to record and edit a podcast is a journey. This episode is Day 1 of that journey and I promise it gets better.

  • The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

    The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
    Oct 8 2020

    "Ok, I'm drawing a line in the fucking sand. Do NOT read the Latin!"

    This is the horror fan's horror movie, because it's a love letter to and a critique of the genre. Does that make it good though? Well that's the question, because this is a genre ripe with people who say that if it doesn't follow the rules, then it's just not cricket... I mean horror.

    Damien O'Meara is joined by the always insightful Dave Gaukroger to talk all about The Cabin in the Woods (2011). Because when it comes to horror, we want to see the most self-aware, self-referential, up it's own ass horror movie - and you know what.. we love it!

    Check out Dave's podcast, the Brewery Street Playground.

    Movies and television shows named in this episode:

    • The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
    • The Exorcist (1973)
    • Evil Dead (1981)
    • Doll House (2009-2010)
    • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
