3 | ''Trailer Park of Terror'' is a [[TheTwoThousands 2008]] horror/comedy film written by Timothy Dolan and directed by Steven Goldmann. It is based on a comic book of the same name from Imperium Comics. While the comic was a horror anthology in the same vein as ''Tales from the Crypt'' or ''House of Mystery'', the movie is more of a straight up slasher style picture about a group of cliche teenagers who get picked off one by one by the ghoulish residents of the titular trailer park. |

5 | !!''Trailer Park of Terror'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
6 | |
7 | * AffablyEvil: Definitely Norma, and maybe even a few of the other park residents too. |
8 | * AllADream: Bridget is left questioning this by the time she's [[spoiler: the sole survivor.]] |
9 | * AnArmAndALeg: Tiffany gets her arm sawn off, but she's so drugged out at the moment that it takes a while for her to register that she's been hurt for real. |
10 | * AsianSpeekeeEngrish: China Girl talks like this, but in a featurette on the DVD it's revealed that this is [[spoiler: an act playing on people's expectaion of this trope. Her real accent is southern like everyone else in the trailer park.]] |
11 | * AxCrazy: Everyone in the trailer park, both before and after their deaths. |
12 | * BigEater: Larlene. "I smell meat!" |
13 | * BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: Michael, the gay kid, is one of the teens that dies.]] |
14 | * DealWithTheDevil: Norma makes one. We're never given the details, but it seems to involve her [[spoiler: lording over those who tormented her in life after they and her are dead.]] |
15 | * DeepSouth: Though it's never stated where exactly, all the locals have pretty thick southern accents. |
16 | * DragonLady: China Girl has shades of this. |
17 | * FacialHorror: Just like in the comics, Norma's usual beauty routine consists of putting her face on... literally. |
18 | * FinalGirl: [[spoiler: Goth bitch, Bridget.]] |
19 | * {{Gorn}}: Plenty. The jerky scene alone, which has flaying and frying alive, should qualify. |
20 | %%* GroinAttack |
21 | %%* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe |
22 | %%* HopeSpot |
23 | * HorrorHost: Norma in the comics. In the movie there's Cigrit and Floyd who host the creature feature, Trailer Park of Terror, natch. |
24 | %%* ImpaledWithAnExtremePrejudice |
25 | * OffWithHisHead: Norma rips off Pastor Lewis' head after he is unable to achieve erection again due to finding out that she's not human anymore amidst their lovemaking. |
26 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Norma lets Bridget go in the end because she reminds her of herself.]] "Tell 'em Norma sent ya." |
27 | %%* PrettyLittleHeadshots |
28 | * ShoutOut: Norma calls Bridget "Series/DarkShadows" when she's asking people around her if they know any scary stories after the lights go out. |
29 | %%* TownWithADarkSecret |
30 | * VanishingVillage: The trailer park and its residents seem to only exist at night. |
