Camp Blood is a 1999 horror film written and directed by Brad Sykes and produced by David S. Sterling.
A guide and a random tourist are birdwatching in the shades of Camp Blackwood and begin to have sex. Suddenly, a man in a clown mask appears and brutally murders them.
The story then centers on four campers, who are planning a trip to Camp Blackwood. On the way, they meet the madcap Bromley Thatcher. After a brief exchange that includes a warning from Bromley Thatcher ("Oh I'm not talking about no ghost story, I'm talking about a man, a REAL man!), the group head into Camp Blackwood, now known to the audience as 'Camp Blood'.
In the woods, they meet their guide, a butch lesbian known as 'Harris'. After spending the day doing menial tasks such as collecting firewood and setting up camp (or in Jay's case, swinging on a rope swing), the group settle down into their respective tents to enjoy a session of late-night love making. The group awake in the morning to find the burnt out carcass of Harris on the campfire (apparently murdered by the killer Clown). The majority of the plot then revolves around the clown chasing the various characters through the woods and brutally murdering all of them but Triscia, who manages to run away from the clown.
In attempting to escape the murderous clown, Triscia runs to her deceased boyfriend's automobile. At this point, she meets Bromley Thatcher, who attempts to aid the Clown by hindering Triscia's escape. The Clown then reappears and chases Triscia. During the chase, Bromley Thatcher departs his valuable advice - "She's in front of you!" when the Clown begins to chase Triscia down the road. In the ensuing melee, Triscia enters the car and runs over the clown, who is revealed to be Harris. Just as Triscia is driving away safely, the clown magically appears from the back seat and strangles Triscia into unconsciousness.
When Triscia regains consciousness, she is in a mental asylum (a room that is covered with a white curtain). After giving Triscia an injection, the 'doctors' depart from the room. It is at this point that Triscia hallucinates and sees the clown entering the room. The film then ends abruptly.
