Sleepaway Camp
Sweet. Smoky. Deadly.
Inspired by the cult classic Sleepaway Camp, this candle blends campfire marshmallow, smoky embers, and a hint of woodsy pine for a scent that’s cozy and unsettling all at once. Like roasted s’mores on a night when no one’s making it out of the woods.
The label nods to the film’s most creative kill scenes—plus that unforgettable ending.
Hand-poured with a natural coconut-soy wax blend, zinc-free cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils, this candle offers a clean, low-soot burn and a scent that’s as wickedly fun as it is frightfully nostalgic.
Please note: All scents are our creations, each inspired by different aspects of horror. Some will smell wickedly wonderful, while others may smell appallingly atrocious. It all depends on your nose. Choose wisely.
Hauntingly handmade with:
- Sustainable coconut wax blend (beeswax added in summer).
- Lead/zinc-free cotton or wood wicks.
