Exploring Abandoned TV and Movie Sets: Forgotten Gems of Hollywood’s Past

Camp Crystal Lake, later dubbed Camp Forest Green in a futile attempt to rebrand, set the stage for the chilling saga of Friday the 13th. This horror franchise kicked off in May 1980, haunting audiences with its tale of doomed camp counselors crossing paths with the infamous psycho Jason Voorhees.

Believe it or not, Camp Crystal Lake is a real place nestled in Hardwick, New Jersey, known as Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. Sadly, it’s a Boy Scout camp off-limits to thrill-seekers. But fear not! You can still explore other filming locations from the movie scattered throughout Warren, New Jersey. The eerie allure of Friday the 13th continues to captivate fans near and far.
