Spirit Camp, Contact and The Housesitter
– Now available on DVD in both regular and limited editions is Kerry Beyer’s horror/comedy Spirit Camp.
When a street smart “goth girl” (Roxy Vandiver) is forced to attend cheerleader camp as part of her rehabilitation from a juvenile correction facility, she clashes with the “popular girls,” and finds herself embroiled in a bitter rivalry with the bitchy ringleader Rachel (Julin). But when members of the spirit squad start turning up dead, the girls must put aside their differences and struggle to survive the murderous rage of a crazed psycho-killer lurking among them!
Bonus features on the indie release include director’s commentary, behind-the-scenes footage and a trailer. The limited edition version comes with a pair of autographed panties. Pick it up via the official movie website right here.
