Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives to Screen at Camp Where it Was Filmed

What is widely considered as the best installment in the Friday the 13th franchise, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is set to screen for fans at the real-life camp where it was shot. Bloody Disgusting first reported that Kenny Caperton’s On Set Cinema, “an ongoing film series that takes fandom a step further with rare movie screenings of cult favorites and horror classics at their actual filming locations.”  will include the meta-slasher sequel screening in Rutledge, Georgia.

The screening is set to take place from August 13 – 15 and August 15 – 17 and will celebrate the film’s 35th Anniversary and have back-to-back events for fans to join. The film’s director Tom McLoughlin will also be present for a Q&A after the movie screening and a tour of the locations including both the Jason Lives cemetery and Camp Crystal Lake / Camp Forest Green. The official description for the event further reads:

“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! …Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma …Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma…”
