Elizabeth Lail, Zelda Williams and Amber Coney step out in style for the Dead of Summer screening event held at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Wednesday night (June 15) in Hollywood.
“Alberto [Frezza], who plays Garrett, is constantly trying to scare me,” Elizabeth shared with Variety. “He was hiding behind these hanging mannequins on a rack and I had passed by them so many times in the dark but I hadn’t seen them, and he flashed a light on them and I had a death scream! It was so scary.”
She added, “Even the people who play, I’m going to call them ‘the hauntees,’ their makeup is so scary I don’t even want to talk to them on set.”
The campers gather around a warm fire to listen to a scary tale in this still from the upcoming new Freeform series, Dead of Summer.
The new show is set in the late 1980s at Camp Clearwater, a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp, including first loves, first kisses�and first kills. Clearwater’s dark, ancient mythology awakens, and what was supposed to be a summer of fun soon turns into one of unforgettable scares and evil at every turn.
Part coming-of-age story, part supernatural horror story, “Dead of Summer” is a bold, new series that mixes genres as it examines the light and dark of a summer like no other.
Premiering June 28th, Dead of Summer stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Deb, the new owner of the camp; Elizabeth Lail as Amy, a clever but new and nervous camp counselor; Zelda Williams, a counselor, who is a mysterious loner with no interest in bonding with the rest of the group; Mark Indelicato; Alberto Frezza, as Deputy Garrett Sykes, who grows immediately suspicious; Eli Goree as Joel, an aspiring filmmaker; Ronen Rubinstein and Paulina Singer.

Premiering on June 28th @ 9PM, Dead of Summer centers on Camp Clearwater, a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp. Part coming-of-age story, part supernatural horror story, “Dead of Summer” is a bold, new series that mixes genres as it examines the light and dark of a summer like no other.
Guilt, premiering on June 13th @ 9PM, is a story of murder, scandal and intrigue stretching all the way from underground sex clubs to the highest levels of the royal family, set against the cosmopolitan backdrop of London.
Shailene Woodley wears a navy vest and matching pants while attending the screening of her movie White Bird in a Blizzard in New York City on Wednesday (October 15).
Shailene is being predicted by many awards experts as a frontrunner for a Best Actress nomination at the 2015 Academy Awards for her work in The Fault in Our Stars!
She is currently one of the five predicted nominees by The Hollywood Reporter‘s awards analyst and HitFix pointed out that a nomination is possible because she “received near universal acclaim for her work and the film turned out to be one of the surprise global blockbusters of the summer.”
Of course, not every movie being released this year has been screened yet so we’ll have to wait and see what the competition looks like. Oscar nominations will be announced on January 15.

FYI: Shailene is wearing a Temperley London waistcoat and trousers with Miu Miu shoes.
