They say never to judge a book by its cover, and in the case of MOON LAKE, I'd strongly agree. Twenty pages into this anthology comic and it was painfully clear the content couldn't possibly hold a candle to the cover art, which is plainly the best thing about this stupidly juvenile romp. MOON LAKE is filled with too much goofy idiocy for me, with its over the top scripting that features little in the way of horror. Instead of trying to generate pulpy scares, the writers here are more interested in crafting stupid fart jokes, jokes about the untrimmed bushes of women in the 1970s, and super-lame sex jokes (a camp counselor, named Tucker, declares this week before the kids arrive to be Fuck Week, complete with a musical number about how it's their week to fuck, and propositions one of the nubile counselors by asking if she's ready to get Tucked... get it? Eh? Eh? His name his Tucker and his pick up line revolves around tucking instead of fucking? Do you get it? Isn't that clever?!). The tastelessness doesn't stop there, though, as the book features some fakes movie posters for imaginary flicks like Vampire Space Sluts from Dimension XXX and The Creature from the African American Lagoon, whose tagline is "fear the fro," incase you need some bonus racism to go with your shitty, dated humor. I'm only slightly masochistic, so after killing off too many brain cells through the first twenty pages of garbage, I skimmed a bit more before tossing this in the DNF pile.
