If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a character in a summer camp horror movie, the Great Horror Campout in Los Angeles in June might be the event for you.

Happening at Los Angeles Historic State Park on June 7 and 8, it’s described as an “overnight, immersive experience that puts campers into an interactive horror camping adventure. Whether campers decide to stay in their tents or venture into the darkness, they are fair game. You will be lured out of your tent one way or another.”
