NIGHTMARE AT CAMP BLOODBATH (2023)

It’s hard to do a horror comedy parody right. One wouldn’t think so, since there are so many obvious tropes and stereotypes baked into all of the sub-genres. But balancing out the humor with a real affection for the films is tougher than most people realize. NIGHTMARE AT CAMP BLOODBATH, from writer/director Dylan Arnow, excels at capturing the look and feel of ‘80s slashers while brilliantly sending up some of their better known cliches.

The short stars Adam Bussell, Marlee Forsyth, and Alex von Klemperer and here’s the official plot summary:

After discovering their lodge totaled by a neighboring camp, two counselors are stalked and prayed upon by the local legend Terrance Fisher in his slapstick parody.
