Theater of horror

Apparently, Sacramento is obsessed with zombies and other horror-related activities. Not only can Sactown residents choose between riding the Zombie Train (www.zombietrain.com) or watching the disturbing John Waters' film Pink Flamingos at the Trash Film Orgy (http://trashfilmorgy.com) this weekend, but they also have the option to camp in West Sacramento and have live actors torment them for 12-hours straight at the Great Horror Campout. Run by Los Angeles-based Ten Thirty One Productions (winners of a $2 million investment from Mark Cuban on Shark Tank), it describes the event as “a 12-hour, overnight, interactive Horror camping adventure.” The experience includes horror movies, a scavenger hunt and roasting marshmallows. Participants can choose different levels of horror, to tone down (or up) the amount of torment elicited by the live actors. $99-$139, 8 p.m. Friday, July 18; and Saturday, July 19; at Vierra Farms, 3010 Burrows Avenue in West Sacramento; (310) 993-8289; www.greathorrorcampout.com.
