Kenny Caperton’s “On Set Cinema” is an ongoing film series that presents movie screenings of cult favorites and horror classics at their actual filming locations, and one of this year’s events will take Friday the 13th fans back to the real-life Camp Crystal Lake/Camp Forest Green from Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, which is located in Rutledge, Georgia.
Jason Lives director Tom McLoughlin will even be on hand this time around!
Caperton explains, “On Set Cinema returns to Camp Blood for our 3rd Annual Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives event! Celebrate the film’s 35th Anniversary with the ultimate Jason Lives experience. Kill or be killed at Camp Daniel Morgan (aka Camp Crystal Lake …aka Camp Forest Green) at Hard Labor Creek State Park in Rutledge, Georgia where the majority of Jason Lives was filmed – see where Sheriff Mike Garris gets bent completely in half by Jason, walk on the pier where Officer Thornton gets a dart to the forehead, hang out in the cabin where Sissy gets snatched out of the window and her head twisted off, or swim in the lake where Tommy fights Jason during the movies’ climatic ending!”
“This year we’ll be doing 2 back-to-back events and for the first time one of the events will be taking place on Friday the 13th! We’re excited to announce that Jason Lives director Tom McLoughlin will be returning to Camp Blood for the first time since filming took place! He’ll be signing autographs, taking photos with fans on the pier, doing a Q&A after the movie screening, and a filming locations tour of both the Jason Lives cemetery and Camp Crystal Lake / Camp Forest Green!”
“Fans will enjoy an entire weekend of summer camp – shared cabin camping with bunk beds, games (egg toss, corn hole, badminton, tug-of-war, board games, video games and more!), camp fires with friends, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores, watching VHS horror movies on tube TVs, swimming and canoeing in Crystal Lake and of course a complimentary outdoor screening of Jason Lives by the lake – you’ll be able to watch the movie while on the pier or in the water! …but remember campers, Jason will be watching!”
The events take place August 13-15 & August 15-17, 2021. Learn more and grab tickets now!
