Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW FrontRoom presents “Summer Camp Nightmare”, a film by Bert L. Dragin.
This July, Cinema Worcester and Nuclear Eye Fanzine are teaming up once again to bring you a weekend of fun and fright with the summer camp film series Camp Crystal Pond!
The well of summer camp movies is deep, and we’ve chosen a diverse mix of genre-spanning films from the 1980’s, when summer camp films ruled the screens. From an edgy teen drama, to a camp slasher classic, and a family-friendly juvenile delinquent comedy, there’s something for everyone at Camp Crystal Pond!
Our weekend begins with Summer Camp Nightmare, where at Camp North Pines, a seemingly normal summer of camp antics takes a hard turn into a violent revolution led by a sociopathic teenage counselor after the camp director is accused of molesting one of the young campers. With its punk-fueled script by Penelope Spheeris and an assembly of some of camp cinema’s most memorable characters, this special VHS presentation of a rarely seen gem is one not to be missed!
Run time is 1 hour and 30 minutes. PG-13 (sexual suggestiveness | mild violence/disturbing themes).

Our weekend continues with Sleepaway Camp. Welcome to Camp Arawak, where the shorts are really short, the kids are mean as hell, and someone is brutally murdering campers and counselors in the most horrific of ways.
One of the greatest slasher films of all time, with an ending that will haunt you forever, it also perfectly captures the awkward confusion of adolescent sexuality like few films have done, let alone in the gutters of exploitation. Still controversial. Still weird. A must see for all horror fans!
Run time is 1 hour and 24 minutes. R (violence and gore | moderate sex/nudity/profanity).

Radio Waves: WCUW Makes Some Key Leadership Changes as Station Changes
(from Worcester Magazine, Jan 14, 2026) There have been some key staff changes behind the dial at WCUW Community Radio 91.3 FM as 2026 gets underway, including longtime executive director Troy Tyree transitioning to a new role as part-time programming director for the radio station.
“Troy has given his heart and soul to WCUW for more than 15 years as its only paid staff member,” WCUW said in a statement to the Telegram & Gazette.
Now there are three paid part-time staff. Joining Tyree are Steve Blake, who has volunteered at WCUW for many years, as general manager, and Laura Lenis as WCUW’s membership consultant.
Scott Hayman, clerk of the WCUW board of directors, said “the board credits Troy with shepherding WCUW through many of its lean times, especially COVID, and for his vision for the now very successful FrontRoom, a venue for weekly live music and Cinema Worcester … while managing all the station’s broadcasting and administration, Troy worked tirelessly to keep the 910 Main Street facility in shape on a shoestring budget.”
