Young devotees of Horror, Sci-Fi and Suspense have a summer camp to call their own! Creepshow Camps face “fright” with curiosity and creativity, revealing the secret techniques behind scary entertainments’ vitality and power. Workshops led by our dedicated staff of teaching artists engage participants, hands-on, in activities that teach and reinforce the fundamental skills in monster make-up, special effects, sleight of hand and stage combat. In our theatre venue, campers screen classic horror movies and rehearse on-stage for farewell performances given for family and friends on the last two days of every Creepshow Camp session.

Each two-week session is led by the Camp’s director Russell Blackwood, the creator of the Bay Area Shakespeare Camps who founded Creepshow Camp in 2006, and guest artists from award-winning horror theatre company, Thrillpeddlers. Each staff member brings with them an unmatched expertise, insight and exuberance for creating on-stage thrills and chills.

The bill in Rio includes Filho’s adaptation of the Grand Guignol classic “The System of Dr. Goudron and Professor Plume,” Rob Keefe’s “The Twisted Pair,” Thrillpeddlers fetish variety acts, a new song named for the show by Thrillpeddlers’ composer Scrumbly Koldewyn, and a black out spook show finale. We’ll perform in the 300 seat Teatro Nelson Rodrigues (named for the Brazil’s taboo breaking playwright) located in downtown Rio de Janeiro.

Work, of course, is ramping up as we head towards moving into the theatre, but we’ve still had time to enjoy the fabulous beach at Leblon and Ipanema and nights out in Copacabana. We’re missing Carnival by a week, though we’re hoping to catch some dress rehearsals for the many samba troupe that perform in the parade.

Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, other Thrillpeddlers are rehearsing for our sixth annual Theatre of the Ridiculous Revival, the 1971 Cockettes musical Tinsel Tarts in a Hot Coma. It is a wonderful time to be a Thrillpeddler!

Four two-week sessions open to students ages 8 – 15.

Camp meets Monday – Friday from 9:00am – 3:00pm at Thrillpeddlers’ Hypnodrome theatre, 575 10th Street, San Francisco. [Map]
