Back of Box:
Welcome to Camp Hurrah, where a psycho killer
is slaughtering high school cheerleaders on the eve of the all-state finals. Drive-in goddesses Betsy Russell
(PRIVATE SCHOOL, AVENGING ANGEL) and Lucinda Dickey (BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO) star with former teen
idol Leif Garrett in this bouncing, bleeding bonanza of B-movie goodness featuring graphic violence, gratuitous
nudity, bad rapping and more from the glory days of late '80s splatter. This is CHEERLEADER CAMP!
Playboy centerfold Rebecca Ferratti,
Penthouse Pet Krista Pflanza and Playboy centerfold-turned-hardcore-porn queen Teri Weigel

Trivia
-
Filming Location(s): Bakersfield,
California and Sequoia National Forest, California.
-
Alternate Tagline(s): Competition was
murder at... and Some girls would kill to be cheerleaders.
-
A rumor about a sequel started floating around. Rumor
even had it that Uma Thurman had been in the cast (IMDb has it listed and apparently there is a review for it in John
Stanley's Creature Features video guide). The rumors have been disproved and the "sequel" is
said to have been scrapped and turned into a totally unrelated project titled Camp Fear a.k.a.
Millennium Countdown.
-
Teri Weigel reportedly flashed Director Quinn each morning of filming.
-
Inspired by the true story of a California girl who murdered her classmates after failing
to make the cheerleading squad.
-
