Camp Bluefinch is the fictional summer camp at the heart of the cult slasher film‑within‑a‑film Camp Bloodbath, which serves as the setting for the 2015 meta‑horror comedy The Final Girls. Modeled after classic 1980s slasher tropes like Friday the 13th, the camp is a wooded, isolated place where counselors are stalked by the masked killer Billy Murphy. In The Final Girls, modern teens are sucked into the movie world during a tribute screening and find themselves inside Camp Bluefinch, forced to survive its deadly clichés while interacting with the film’s characters—including Max’s mother, who played the “final girl” Nancy. As both a parody and homage, Camp Bluefinch functions as a nostalgic stage for horror archetypes while also exploring themes of grief, memory, and survival.
