Camp Blood: The Musical

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camp Blood: The Musical is an 80s style slasher/musical movie. It was created by Tanner Barklow, Jefferson Craig and Thomas Hughes (of The Spinto Band) in the spring of 2005.

Camp Blood: The Musical is the story of six teenagers (a Virgin/Jock/Whore/Nerd/Rebel/Goth combo) who arrive at Camp Blood to work as counselors for the summer but instead find themselves terrorized by a killer in a ski mask. After an ambitious DVD giveaway on the Camp Blood Myspace page, a number of horror film websites have run highly favorable reviews of the film, lauding it for its tongue-in-cheek attitude and gratuitous nudity.
