FROM SCREEN TO SCREAM

When Patrick invites his old high school friends to stay at the remote Portnoy cabin for the weekend, they couldn’t be more excited.

‘80s cult flick Slasher was filmed at that location, and the Horror Film Club has always wanted a peek inside. Preppy Patrick, jock Jason, cheerleader Tiffany, stoner Freddy, goth Jennifer, nerdy Michael, and good girl Carrie may have occupied different social strata in high school, but were united by their love of horror movies.

But when night falls, and the eponymous masked killer is spotted, the reunion takes a deadly turn. The friends discover their tires deflated and the phone line disconnected, and soon they’re being stalked by a mysterious assailant. Is someone trying to make their Slasher experience as authentic as possible?

One thing is for sure–this is one summer they’ll never forget.

Slasher Summer is a fun, twisty horror romp that pays tribute to classic slasher movies–and also affirms that the real horror is never being able to escape who you were in school.
