Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma: Kris’s Clothes Hid Her Fate | Collider BTS

Costume designer Kendra Terpenning explains how a Twin Peaks reference helped unlock one of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’s most complicated costumes. In this Collider interview, Terpenning goes behind the scenes of the 2026 movie’s costume design and reveals the surprising references behind Jane Schoenbrun’s slasher world. When developing the costume that emerges from the bottom of the lake, the team explored classic slasher villains, old-fashioned camping imagery, rust, water damage, vinyl, and latex. Then Schoenbrun proposed an unexpected reference: the plastic Laura Palmer is wrapped in when she is discovered in Twin Peaks. Turning that idea into a functional costume required extensive experimentation. Terpenning explains how the team tested opacity, movement, sound, underwater performance, heat, restricted vision, and the physical demands placed on Jack Haven and their stunt double. The interview also explores the subtler storytelling hidden throughout the movie’s wardrobe. Terpenning reveals how the “Flesh Palace” influenced Hannah Einbinder’s winter coat and the broader candy-colored palette, how costumes evolve alongside the characters, and why a pair of glasses became transformative for Einbinder’s performance. She also discusses the movie’s more elaborate looks, from towering boots and a foot-tall mohawk to the unexpected amount of silk, velvet, and fur found in this unconventional slasher.
