On Location<\/a> peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. This time, we take a look at Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.<\/p>\n

The new movie Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a new spin on the summer camp<\/a> slasher made classic by such films as Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp. Set in the present, the movie tells the story of Kris (Hannah Einbinder), a young filmmaker who sets out to reboot an old slasher flick, Camp Miasma, haunted by a mysterious, helmeted killer named Little Death. While Kris has been asked to work on this remake, she has her own history with the Camp Miasma franchise, namely a long-time fascination with the reclusive actress Billy Presley (Gillian Anderson). Billy played the final girl in the original installment.<\/p>\n

The plot is set in motion when the two get in touch, and Billy invites Kris to visit her at her isolated Pacific Northwest<\/a> abode. Billy isn\u2019t just living in the woods either\u2014she\u2019s made her home on the summer camp where the first film was shot. The rustic setting, with looming peaks, snow-coated pines, and an all-around sense of abandoned creepiness, brings to mind David Lynch\u2019s Twin Peaks and numerous slasher films that undoubtedly inspired this work.<\/p>\n

Given the complex world-building involved in developing lore and physical memorabilia for the Camp Miasma franchise as well as the matte-glass painting approach, production designers Brandon Tonner-Connolly and Matt Hyland joined forces. \u201cSometimes when you take over a place, people can get a little cagey, especially if they hear the terms \u2018horror movie\u2019 or \u2018slasher.\u2019 But truth be told, everyone was so jazzed to see us transform these spaces,\u201d Hyland explained. For a production that regularly involved gore and geysers of blood, the communities they worked with were game. Here Tonner-Connolly and Hyland discuss where Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma was filmed and why they brought back the largely forgotten technique of matte glass painting for this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more.
