It's Coming From Inside the House! - Watch 'Sleepaway Camp' With MoPOP + Special Guest Anthony Hudson
We’re baaaaack! It's Coming From Inside the House!, MoPOP’s monthly horror film series, is crawling out from the grave of 2020 and wreaking fresh havoc in the new year.
For our first online watchalong of 2021, we’ve invited Anthony Hudson, host of Queer Horror, the only LGBTQIA+ horror film series in the US, to select a film that they feel deserves a place on our list of 100+ Horror Films to See Before You Die. Anthony chose Sleepaway Camp, a quintessential teen camp slasher that introduced the world to the finest side-pony-sporting mean girl in the genre and whose unforgettable ending is still widely discussed among horror fans.

- Chat with Robert, Anthony, and other fans during the film
