Little Lamplight and the swampfolk
No, Little Lamplight is a children-only society - a trope that has been used many many times. See, for instance, The Lord of the Flies. It's a generic and common sci-fi device, not a reference to any one instance in particular. And the swampfolk are likewise generic hillbilly, inbred, dumb brute, scary backwoods people - another common trope, not specific or originated with Hills Have Eyes or Wrong Turn, both of which are recent retreads of familiar fictional territory.--Gothemasticator 05:50, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I don't blame you for seeing the resemblance. But, some good advice for a 14 year-old: read The Lord of the Flies. Great book about a group of schoolboys stranded on an island with no adults. It'll blow your mind. Cheers.--Gothemasticator 23:12, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
