Beach Blanket Body Bag

Dance til you drop as teens in a remote paradise, looking to surf, flirt, and forget the tragic death of your friend in this same spot just last year. Despite the square-free vibes, murder is about to strike again, and it seems to be tied to the legends you have heard about this island’s mysterious past. The story is inspired by 1960s beach party movies like Beach Blanket Bingo, Muscle Beach Party, and the Gidget movies, as well as teen slasher films and surf rock music.
