Summary
31-year-old Hannah Einbinder used a visit to East Village costume store Halloween Adventure to discuss her new film, “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” a horror-comedy directed by Jane Schoenbrun.
In the movie, Einbinder plays a filmmaker rebooting a slasher franchise and shares a sexual encounter with Gillian Anderson’s reclusive former “final girl” before being chased by a spear-wielding killer named Little Death.
Einbinder said key details were shot practically, including candy-wrapper set dressing and a blood-spitting scene, adding that neither she nor Anderson broke character during filming.
Two British Columbia camps doubled as the movie’s setting, while Einbinder contrasted that with her own Connecticut camp memories, which she described as arts-focused rather than scary apart from getting a tick.
