What happens

Cheerleader Camp is a 1988 American slasher film produced and directed by John Quinn in his directorial debut, and starring Betsy Russell, Leif Garrett, Lucinda Dickey, and Lorie Griffin. The film follows a troubled young woman who arrives at a cheerleader summer camp for a competition, where a series of murders begin to occur. Production of Cheerleader Camp began in 1987. It was originally intended to be filmed in Oregon, but was instead shot largely in Camp Nelson, California, and in the Sequoia National Forest. The film was given a brief theatrical release in early 1988 under the title Bloody Pom Poms before Prism Entertainment released it on video in November 1988. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
