Plot twist

Here's an odd little thought I'll title, The Plot Twist, The Dissonant Chord.

The reason I'm calling this an odd little thought is because it may not lead to anything.

But then again, you never know.

So here goes.

Literature and music share a common technique that involves, essentially, the unexpected surprise.

In literature, it's called the plot twist.

Something comes out of left field and changes the entire direction of the narrative.

In music, it's the dissonant chord included in a composition specifically for the purpose of making a jarring presentation that doesn't fit maybe the rest of the music.

but was met by largely unfavorable views from critics, many of whom deemed it exploitative and derivative of such films as Friday the 13th.

In the years since its release, Sleepaway Camp has gone on to develop a cult following for its twist ending, which has been named one of the most shocking and unforgettable in cinematic history by Big D Magazine.

It was also followed by four sequels, Sleepaway Camp 2, Unhappy Campers in 1988, Sleepaway Camp 3, Teenage Wasteland in 1989, Sleepaway Camp 4, The Survivor in 1992, and Return to Sleepaway Camp, which was released in 2008.

Let's hit the trailer.

It's as if you turned her off.

her personality off so i'm thinking is this a body double is there a twin is there something else going on here because it's genuinely it's not angela is like traumatized i thought she was possessed and i'm watching and it just got me so hooked i'm not even wondering who the killer is i'm wondering what the fuck is going on with all of the odd people in the cast of characters

It's definitely intentional upon rewatch, right? Because once you see what the twist ending is, and I know on this podcast, we just spoil the shit out of everything, but this one's so good.

If you haven't seen this movie, we're going to hold on to it until one of us lets it slip.

And speaking of twists, I thoroughly recommend any book by Catriona Ward.

If that I didn't see that coming at all, Plot Twist is something that you enjoy.

That woman could write an appliance manual.

and I would pay $35 and read it.

Mm-hmm

Uh, but the, the movie sets up that twist ending so many times throughout the entire movie, and I'm just like, whatever, by the time it, it ended.

I didn't need that twist ending-

Mm-hmm

... to make the movie worth the movie.

It's insane to me.

The MGM plot twist.

So, this guy was looking to buy MGM, and now MGM's looking to buy the guy.
