Cheerleader Camp (originally and also known as Bloody Pom Poms) is a 1988 American slasher film directed by John Quinn, and starring Betsy Russell, Leif Garrett, Lucinda Dickey, George "Buck" Flower, Teri Weigel, and Rebecca Ferratti. The plot follows a series of murders that occur over a weekend at a cheerleader camp during a competition.
Cheerleader Alison (Betsy Russell) dreams of giving a performance in an empty stadium during which she exclaims, "I need love," after being rejected by both of her parents. A menacing laugh is heard as her arms are slashed, causing Alison to wake up with a start, revealing that she had fallen asleep in the backseat of a car which is carrying her and her cheering teammates to a remote cheerleader camp called Camp Hurrah to compete in a contest, led by the icy Miss Tipton (Vickie Benson). At the camp, Alison rooms with the mascot, Cory (Lucinda Dickey), who is often ridiculed by the cheerleaders, and Alison's boyfriend, Brent (Leif Garrett) immediately begins flirting with a blonde cheerleader named Suzy. The girls go to the river where they sunbathe, and are spied on by Tim (Travis McKenna), who is a member of Alison's cheering team. Also watching them is Sheriff Poucher (Jeff Prettyman), who gets interrupted by the camp handyman, Pop (George Buck Flower).
The next morning, Alison finds Suzy in her cabin with her wrists cut, dead of an apparent suicide. The next day, Alison goes into the kitchen walk-in refrigerator in search of a drink and discovers Suzy's corpse on a shelf. The police are called, and Miss Tipton explains to Sheriff Poucher that, in order to protect her job, she didn't want to report Suzy's death until the program was finished. The Sheriff assures Tipton that he will take care of the matter, and the deal is sealed by the pair having sex, an act which is caught on video by Tim. As the result of a prank, the sex tape is broadcast the next day instead of a video of the camp's cheer routines.
