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.
