Some of you know that I'm the leader of my son's Cub Scout den. They're almost at first-year Webelos rank at the moment, and I just registered them for a two-night weekend camp out at the end of April....at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in Blairstown, NJ.

If you know horror flicks, then you probably know that No-Be-Bo-Sco is the camp where they filmed the original "Friday the 13th" movie.

Holy crap!! I'm going to CAMP Freakin' CRYSTAL LAKE!!!

...I already told my assistant den leader that I'm going to be totally useless for the entire weekend, cuz I'm going to be too busy geeking out. Very Happy

I actually used to have a cheap, Halloween store hockey mask (it even glowed in the dark)... not sure what I did with that thing. Hmmm...

Blairstown (and the town of Hope, which is nearby and also appears in some scenes of the movie) is about an hour's drive from me. If you get on Route 80 goin' West towards Pennsylvania, they're one of the last exits in Jersey before you hit the Delaware Water Gap.

Jason's mother won't show up and neither will Jason. It's a bunch of guys. Everybody knows that camp serial killers only show up when there are also a bunch of nubile young women on the premises.

This is true. And besides, even if Jason or Mrs. Voorhees did show up, they'd be facing dozens of eleven year old boys with access to archery equipment and BB Guns. I'd put my money on the Scouts. Very Happy

That's cool. Do you know if the camp actually acknowledges or plays up the Friday the 13th angle or do they pretend it never happened?

From what I've heard they're kinda tired of talking about it after all these years, which I can understand. They must be like "Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is where they filmed the #$%@ing movie, can we move on now? It was over thirty years ago for cryin' out loud!"

If it were a privately owned campground instead of a Boy Scout faciliity, though, I bet they'd play the hell out of the connection. Imagine the possibilities for Halloween season "Haunted Camping" packages, complete with Jason and Mrs. Voorhees attacks in the middle of the night. They'd make a f*cking mint!!

That would be cool! I'd pay for that experience.

I just drove by the American Horror Story house from Season 1 this morning (its on my way to work)...the house was also used in the Season 3 Halloween episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer as the fraternity house.

The house is located on Westchester Place near the intersection of Country Club drive in Hancock Park.

Ooh yeah, that was a while ago. That was in a display of vintage Scout memorabilia at the local Boy Scout Council Center... it was the actual "Camp Crystal Lake" sign used in the movie.

Have always regretted not making it out there when I lived back east and would make frequent trips through Jersey.

My brother lives in South Pasadena and is just around the corner from many of the Halloween locations. When visiting I take walks in the morning past the various locations and geek out with the Halloween soundtrack on the ipod.

My trip to No-Be-Bo-Sco is this weekend, and the weather report looks promising. No rain in the forecast and pleasant (not too hot, not too cold) temps. I'm stoked! Woohoo!

...never did get the chance to watch "Friday the 13th" again to prep for it, but hell, I've seen the movie so many damn times over the years that I'm sure I'll be able to pick out certain landmarks anyway...
