About Camp Horror
Camp Horror is a film festival a little bit different from the rest. This festival came to life after The Roxy started its monthly horror film series “Trash Talk”, where trashy b-movies get their time to shine amongst the high indie art the theater is known for. After seeing how Missoula showed up to sell out films like “Tammy & The T-Rex”, we knew there was something special happening. So to honor that community and give it a place to grow, Camp Horror was born.
Camp Horror Film Festival strives to be a home for gorey classics, while giving newer stories a platform. Add elements of live theater, comedy and d.i.y. spirit, you’ll have all the pieces to the best fantasy summer camp this side of Mt. Sentinel.
Meet Your Camp Leaders
Solveig - Head Lunch Lady/ Groundskeeper/Animal Wrangler
Hey brats. Let's get things straight. I don't like horror, movies, s'mores, parties, and I especially don't like kids. So this is your one and only warning, STAY OUT OF MY FACE. If you for some dumb reason need me during camp, good luck finding me. I have jobs all over the place. If you for some dumb reason need to find me during off season, good luck finding me. I have jobs all over the place.
Charlotte Macorn - Communications Officer/Girl's Cabin Counselor
Hi Campers, it's great to meet you. I'm Charley! I'm super excited to have you in my cabin this year for Camp Horror. We're going to have so much fun watching movies, making crafts, and learning about nature! When I'm not here working at the best summer camp in existence, I spend my time as a writer, artist, and general weirdo. Please remember the number one rule of our cabin is NO BOYS ALLOWED (especially if he's wearing a sack lunch on his head and carrying a bloody tent spike)
John Howard - Safety Officer/Boy's Cabin Counselor
Hello Campers! I'm John. I have been a comedy camp counselor for over 11 years, but this is my second year at Camp Horror. My loves in life are stand up comedy, improv, podcasting & filmmaking. A couple of ground rules before camp starts! 1. No one outside their cabins after dark. 2.All knife blades must be smaller than 4 inches. 3. Camp fires are only allowed in regulated campfire only areas. 4. Drink water often, and don't forget to pack a lunch. I can't wait to meet all of you. This is going to be the best week of camp ever!!!
Camp Tips & Tricks
- Self care is important for a successful weekend at camp. Make sure to stay hydrated and always have a water bottle handy. Wear sunscreen when planning to be outside in the sun. Plan your meals. Eat before, or have an idea of local restaurants.
- Familiarize yourself with the activities you are planning to attend. Have your tickets purchased, know where the activity is taking place.
- Have all necessary documents ready. ID for beer sales, print tickets if necessary, bring Roxy Membership card if you have one and bring any medical information a counselor might need to know.
- Keep your camp badge with you at all times if you are interested in participating in Camp Pride. Camp Pride is completed when a camper has attended all 4 feature film activities (Pink Rabbit, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Slaughter Beach & Pieces). Campers that finish Camp Pride receive a handmade merit badge exclusive to this years festival.
- If you find one of the many painted rocks hiding around the camp, turn it into a counselor for a special prize.
- Keep an eye out for the Sack Lunch Slasher. Camp Horror is not responsible for any serial killer related accidents.
- Label your underwear to avoid confusion.
