Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma at the SL Alamo

From its mesmerizing opening credits, set to a plaintive cover of R.E.M.’s “Nightswimming,” Jane Schoenbrun’s “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” is playing with the memory of horror fans, and how they can hold a series so close that they’re “not sure all these people understand.” As the names of the cast and crew scroll, images of memorabilia from a fictional slasher franchise crowd the screen, including standard items like VHS tapes, newspaper ads, toys, and other paraphernalia. The parallels to the “Friday the 13th” universe are blatantly glorious, including nods to how a sequel in this made-up series failed when it took its slasher to Manhattan. Schoenbrun never hides from the milieu they’re both satirizing and lovingly homaging, using the aesthetics of characters like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers to craft a heady, wildly ambitious commentary on identity and obsession.
