Programme Overview
Description
Killer Camp is a slasher-horror themed, strategic competitive reality game set in an American-style 80s summer camp. Ten campers arrive, but some of them are hatching a murderous plan. Can the other campers figure out who is innocent and who is a Killer before they fall victim to a cheesy death? To fight for their lives the campers must engage in a strategic game of cat and mouse that blends hilarious challenges with retro-themed scares.
Every camper assumes a different 80s stereotype (Jock, Cheerleader, Geek etc.), but they all share the same goal: survive the camp and win the cash prize. However, the two groups of campers each have a different objective to achieve their goal. The Innocents need to unmask the Killer before being killed. While the Killer needs to kill off the campers without getting caught. But neither the campers nor the audience know who is truly Innocent and who is a sinister Killer.
Each group uses different strategies to survive. The Innocents try to win as many wacky camp challenges as possible because it could mean immunity for a night, more prize money, or a clue about the Killer. Also, the Innocents will try to form alliances in order to deduce who can be trusted. Meanwhile, the Killer will try to subtly sabotage the challenges, accuse others of being suspicious, and then - KILL!
Every night the Killer will lay the perfect trap to "kill" a camper in the most gruesome and sensational way possible. If the surviving Innocents correctly unmask the Killer throughout the season, they’ll win the cash prize. If they don’t, the Killer wins the cash and gets away with murder!
It’s the perfect Halloween or Friday the 13th show that can be aired weekly or stripped across one week. The audience will be just as engaged as the contestants as they form whodunit theories. This murderous prime-time competitive reality show is as fun as it is freaky and asks one question…Could you survive a stay at Killer Camp?
The US adaptation ordered by The CW network - also broadcast on ITV2 in the UK - featured a mix of 13 unlucky American and British campers navigating through new deadly twists and surprises while competing to expose the Killer among them for a share of the $50,000 cash prize. Each night one of them was viciously dispatched by camp handyman Bruce, who returned with counselor Bobby (Comedian Bobby Mair) with a whole host of surprises and hilariously elaborate new murders.
