Hannah Einbinder and Jane Schoenbrun on Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the best gummies, and Counting Crows

American filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun has crafted a twisted horror tale with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, blending queer joy with slasher comedy elements. In her latest work, Schoenbrun brings to life the story of Kris, portrayed by Hannah Einbinder, a queer filmmaker tasked with reviving the iconic zombie IP of Camp Miasma.

The film pays homage to the original slasher movie and its sequels, which immortalized the Southern-fried Final Girl, played by Billy Presley in the role of the eccentric recluse Billy Presley. To perfect the reboot, Kris meets up with Presley at the deserted summer camp where the film's first installment was filmed. In an exclusive interview with Mashable's Say More studio, Schoenbrun and Einbinder discuss the inspiration behind this bizarre and humorous slasher, relish the return of raunchy movies, and indulgently compare gummies and sing the praises of Counting Crows.

Note that any light spoilers for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma are discussed herein. The film is currently showing exclusively in theaters.
