Jane Schoenbrun’s previous features, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and I Saw the TV Glow, established their unique artistic style and fondness for narratives that keep the viewer guessing. Their next film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, looks to be similarly unconventional—though it will also draw on one of horror’s most famously trope-laden subgenres, the slasher film. Subverting the expected is definitely in Schoenbrun’s playbook, but Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma sounds like a movie that will also be very aware of its roots. Not only does it follow an up-and-coming filmmaker (Hannah Einbinder) hired to revitalize a long-running slasher series about a murder-plagued summer camp, it will also explore what it’s like to be the veteran “Final Girl” of such a series. Gillian Anderson’s character has become so intertwined with the movies she once starred in that she now lives in one of its old sets. In a new interview with Empire, Schoenbrun revealed they held a special screening of Crystal Lake Memories—a seven-hour documentary that charts a path through all the Friday the 13th films, featuring behind-the-scenes tales from various cast and crew members over the years—to get everyone on the same page.
