Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

Just added: Frida Board Member/Trivia Night host Atalia Lopez (Chapman University) and Porter Gilberg (Frida Director of Development) will be joining us for the Wednesday 8/26 8:30PM show for a pre-screening presentation on slasher cinema’s “final girl” mythology and the queer horror lineage behind Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. An interactive audience discussion will immediately follow the film.

Certified Frida Favorite Jane Schoenbrun (We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, I Saw The TV Glow) is back with their latest mindf**k, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, starring the supernova duo of Hannah Einbender and Gillian Anderson!

After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.

Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 2026, the early reviews for Camp Miasma were passionate, promising a wildly entertaining exploration of the slasher film, erotic pleasure, and everything in between. The words “gonzo” and “pop art” were also being thrown around, which you know we love!

Zodiac

There’s more than one way to lose your life to a killer.

August’s Staff Pick comes courtesy of our new Box Office Manager Chris Martinez, who has chosen David Fincher’s chilling 2007 masterwork Zodiac!

Over the course of a decade, editors of the San Francisco Chronicle entice themselves in the murders of the Zodiac Killer. However, as time runs its course, interest in the case dwindles in the eyes of the professionals. The Killer stops interacting with the public. However, believing he has the answers, an amateur cartoonist from the initial sightings races against time to prevent what he believes is another murder.

Featuring extraordinary performances from Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., and an incredible ensemble cast of, Zodiac is less interested in the killer himself than the devastating impact of obsession on everyone left searching for him. With Fincher’s signature knack for meticulous attention to detail and stunning cinematography, the film has become one of the defining thrillers of the 21st century.
