Works of this genre usually have an obsessive appeal to some sub-group of the fans of a particular genre. There is usually some element of &quot;camp&quot; in instances of this genre. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvZ9jj5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EvilDead_TheMovie</a> is a good example of a movie in this genre. This is not a &quot;true&quot; genre in that it doesn't actually describe the style of the work.
