Ok I admit this could be a strange topic... But hey its me.....! So... I was watching COMMANDO last night on UK tv and got to thinking how camp main villain Vernon Wells was lookin'. I mean this dude was supposed to be hard as nails and the only person tough enough to stop Schwarzenegger's one man army John Rambo (oops my bad...Matrix ). But check this guy out,whats he wearin'? Skin tight leather pants so tight you can tell what religion he is.Kinky black boots of course.Lets not forget everyones favourite fashion accessory..the fake chain mail stylee vest with black t-shirt underneath.And to top it off, a moustache that Freddie Mercury would be proud of.Oh come on..a psychotic killer! he's more Village People wannabe... after they found a cop,an indian,a constuction worker and the other one,it was clear that they simply didnt have room for psychotic murderer in the group,so he had to make his own way in the world and became the campest baddie from the 80's. Aw bless.

For me.......you can't bring up campy without mentioning John Waters movies!
Some of Waters villains???
80's style........Franklin and Velma Von Tussle and the unforgetable Amber......evil girl! Debbie Harry and Sono Bono were awesome though and played the campy to the-T!
I'm a Camp lover!
I have to back EAngel up on her choice of Jareth though.....her post cracked me up!
"Goblin King or Fairy Queen?????" hehehe!

Campy movie villains?
1. "Lust In The Dust" (1985), with Lainie Kazan. The whole movie is deliberately campy anyway!
2. (Well, actually a 1979 movie) "Rock And Roll High School" with Mary Woronov as Miss Togar, the uptight fascist (and closet dominatrix) principal.
