“Out here, there are certain nights when you just get this feeling that some psycho killer is gonna chop you up into a million little pieces… ooohh, I like that feeling.”

That killer line comes from Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the upcoming slasher from I Saw the TV Glow filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun, headed to theaters via MUBI on August 7, 2026.

The film stars Hannah Einbinder as a struggling young filmmaker tasked with rebooting the fictional Camp Miasma horror franchise. Her search for inspiration leads her to the original film’s legendary final girl actress, played by Gillian Anderson. From there, things spiral into a fever dream of obsession, violence, desire, and slasher mythology.

But the real rabbit hole here is the fictional franchise itself.

According to the film’s official synopsis, Camp Miasma is a once-beloved horror series buried under decades of cheap sequels, declining reviews, and a shrinking fanbase. If that sounds familiar, that’s because Schoenbrun is clearly channeling the chaotic legacy of Friday the 13th.

The filmmaker even described the movie as “Portrait of a Lady on Fire set inside a Friday the 13th sequel.” Yeah… we’re listening.

Meet Little Death: Camp Miasma’s Masked Killer

At the center of the Camp Miasma franchise lurks its iconic slasher villain: Little Death, a masked killer who appears to be heavily inspired by Jason Voorhees. And just like horror’s favorite hockey-masked maniac, Little Death didn’t stay confined to one campground for long.

The trailer reveals VHS box art, fake reviews, and franchise lore that sketch out an entire slasher saga stretching across fourteen films — complete with 3D gimmicks, psychic powers, Christmas carnage, Manhattan mayhem, medieval detours, and even a trip to outer space.

Here’s the full lineup of Camp Miasma movies we’ve managed to piece together:

1. Camp Miasma
2. Camp Miasma Part II: The Next Summer
3. Camp Miasma 3D
4. Camp Miasma Part IV: The Curse of Little Death
5. Camp Miasma Part V: The Final Chapter
6. Camp Miasma Part VI: A New Beginning
7. Camp Miasma Part VII: Psychic Warriors
8. Camp Miasma Part VIII: Little Death Takes Manhattan
9. Camp Miasma Part IX: Slay Bells
10. Medieval Miasma
11. Camp Miasma (title unclear)
12. Miasma 3000
13. Camp Miasma (title unclear)
14. Camp Miasma: Little Death vs. Sleep Man

If these titles weren’t enough of a giveaway, Camp Miasma is essentially a loving parody of slasher franchise excess. You’ve got the obligatory Manhattan sequel, the inevitable “space movie,” and a crossover finale that screams Freddy vs. Jason energy.

Then there’s Medieval Miasma, which feels less like Friday the 13th and more like Army of Darkness crashing headfirst into camp slasher insanity.

And somehow, Camp Miasma Part IX: Slay Bells pulled off what Jason never did — a Christmas-themed sequel.

The Franchise That Went Too Far… In the Best Way

In the fictional timeline of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the series actually outlived the real-world Friday the 13th franchise, reaching a staggering fourteen installments.

But success didn’t last forever.

The franchise’s reputation reportedly collapsed around Camp Miasma Part VII: Psychic Warriors, a sequel so disastrous it allegedly took home a Golden Razzie for Worst Movie of the Year.

Naturally, horror fans probably love it anyway.

The original Camp Miasma film was directed by fictional filmmaker Ray Blanchard, and its tagline perfectly captures vintage slasher energy:

“They drowned him. They had to. But he’s not done.”

Classic.

We’ll uncover more of the blood-soaked mythology behind Little Death and the Camp Miasma universe when Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma slashes into theaters on August 7, 2026.

Because one thing horror fans know all too well…

Little Death always comes back.
