The Geekz head back to summer camp for another killer entry in our 31 Days of Horror marathon with She Came From the Woods (2022) — a bloody love letter to 80s slashers filled with campfire scares, synth vibes, and over-the-top carnage. When a group of counselors accidentally awaken an evil spirit during their last night at camp, what starts as a fun prank turns into a night of supernatural revenge and gory mayhem.
In our review, we break down the film’s nostalgic tone, practical effects, and strong performances from Cara Buono(Stranger Things), William Sadler (Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey), and Spencer List. We’ll also talk about how director Erik Bloomquist blends humor, heart, and horror in a way that both honors and pokes fun at classic 80s slashers. Does She Came From the Woods earn its place among modern camp horror greats — or should it have stayed in the woods? Find out as we continue reviewing 31 horror movies for 31 days of October!
👉 Don’t miss the rest of our 31 Days of Horror series, where we drop a new horror review every day this October — covering slashers, supernatural scares, creature features, and cult classics!
