This Labor Day weekend, Aug. 31-Sept 3, the ultimate camping-themed horror event returns to continue its reign of TERROR! Exhumed Films and the Mahoning Drive-In present CAMP BLOOD IX, four big nights of bloody, slashing fright in 35mm on the giant outdoor screen!
This year the madness begins with a pre-show screening of one of our CAMP BLOOD favorites, THE BURNING, with actresses Shelly “Tiger” Bruce and Bonnie “Marnie” Deroski in attendance! We’ll also have a special post-screening campfire — get together as we tell spooky stories around the fire, but watch out for Cropsy!
Jason comes out of hiding on Friday night looking for fresh blood in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 4: THE FINAL CHAPTER, and we’ll have “Samantha” herself, Judie Aronson, with us in-person!
On Saturday we’ll take a trip back to Camp Arawak with “Angela”, and a 40th anniversary screening of SLEEPAWAY CAMP with star Felissa Rose in attendance!!!
All guests will be meeting fans, signing autographs and appearing for photo ops before the films and during intermissions.
Of course it wouldn’t be CAMP BLOOD without our usual round of pre-movie games and activities! Start limbering up now to compete in the fun so you can win some totally awesome prizes!
As always, we will have some incredible limited edition event merch created by Justin (Haunt Love) Miller, vintage horror trailers playing before each feature, raffles, prizes, tables full of the latest Blu-rays and merch, live DJs, cosplay, photo ops, themed eats and drinks and MUCH MORE!
CAMP BLOOD is always the bloodiest party of the year, and you don’t want miss it!
