The Sleepaway Camp Thread

[boogeyman87]

Which one do you love or like more. The original , unhappy campers, teenage wasteland or are you looking foreward to the future sequel? General Sleepaway talk can be discussed here.

[atomic dog]

mine is the original. it set the stage.

[BrentleyJames23]

Sleepaway Camp II

[Hallowicked]

I love all three films but if I had to choose a favorite, it'd have to be the original. The whole look/feel of the movie and the crazy ending is what makes this one my favorite.

[Donnie Darko]

this is a repeat thread, but i like part 2 best of all. :D

this thread has a poll too

Actually mine came first. So "thats " a repeat thread. Check the date.;)

[Donnie Darko]

im gonna go back and edit to say "that is a repeat thread over there!!" hehe. i never look at the dates, i was looking more at the replies.

so with that said, let me copy and paste my response here in the real thread, not the impostor thread.

i like part 2 best, totally.

id never seen any of ther series until a few months ago, but i really like part 2, Teenage Wasteland is my second favorite.

this is one series to me that both of the sequels outdone the original movie, i like the way the sequels have more outlandish death scenes and dont take themselves so seriously.

long live Angela!!!

[Ravenheart]

All three of them are pretty good but the original is the best.I'm really looking forward to Return to Sleepaway Camp.Definately be catching it when it comes out.

[Miss Informed]

I have the box set and haven't watched any of them yet.. I am so bad.

[Trickster]

All three are fab but the original is the scariest

[Hall9ween]

The Region 2 boxset is only £15.99 on Play.com so I might actually get it soon.

From all the good responses I have heard from this board, it sounds like it is worth checking out.

[Neo]

Only seen the first Sleepaway Camp. Wasn't too impressed. After all the hype folk on the board gave it i was expecting something great....but it wasn't.

[HannibalBEATNGU]

2 is my favorite. I loved Angela's casually twisted demeanor, the deaths were great(I loved the throwbacks to Leatherface, Jason, and Freddy), and Ally's sex scene has alot of repeat value.:)
I loved the first too, it has one of the best endings ever. I knew what it was before seeing the movie and I was still shocked when I saw it. The atomsphere and tone actually were fairly eerie.
I thought 3 was sub par in comparison to the first 2. It just felt like a going through the motions sequel. There was nothing all too special about the characters, the dialogue or the deaths(the deleted gore footage on the dvd is pretty good though).

[horrorqueen7]

part 2 - Although looking back on it now its so damn cheesy it's def the best. I am def looking forward to Return to Sleepaway camp. and perhaps my choice will be different after I see it.

[Mark Warner]

Okay, I know I said that these movies were too cheesy and that they sucked, but I took the advice of fellow members and went and bought the boxset.

Wow, these films rock!

[Scanjet]

If any UK people are interested Sleepaway Camp 3 is on tonight at 10.00pm on the Horror Channel... Also its repeated later!

[Scanjet]

Is there a number 4? it says there is on IMDB but i can't find it to buy?

[HannibalBEATNGU]

There is footage from the 4th film called Sleepaway Camp: Survivor that was never completed, it comes with the boxed set(atleast it did when they first started selling the boxed set).

They recently completed production on Return to Sleepaway Camp with Felissa Rose returning as Angela, and it comes out next year.

Actually i dont think Felissa is returning as angela. She's just in a cameo sort of role or is just working behind the scenes.

[Scanjet]

ahhh I see!

[horrorqueen7]

I cant wait for return to Sleepaway camp!

[tabbycat4]

I just got the first 3, and the first is my favorite especially when that little skank Judy got her AAAAHHHH!! crispy!:p the second wasn't too bad the only bitch is the copy have has all the good kills cut out:mad: what a flipping gyp.:( and the third wasn't so great but Cindy's death made me laugh that little racist little piece of Southern-fried shit (no offense to any here).

no doubt I'll be looking for the next one.:D

neither, I got the cheesy ones over in the Wal Mart bargain bin, I saw the boxset, but they wanted 50 bucks for it:mad: no thanks!

[Scanjet]

I am really thinkiing of getting the boxset now... you seem to all love it!

Crazy. I got it at BestBuy for 24.99. :) The whole thing with the bonus disc as well.

[Bucky-lives]

no doubt about it. happy campers. the single funniest horror movie ever made. i laughed during every kill.

[Thrillogy]

i recently got the boxed set at best buy for 20$! great buy and worth the price, I HIGHLY reccomend it. The actors of ricky and that small buff counselor(can;t remember the name) are going to be in return to sleepawaycamp 5. I cant wait neither!

[TonyWorldOrder]

The first Sleepaway Camp is pretty much the absoloute epitome of "so-bad-it's-actually-brilliant" cinema. Everything is taken so over the top that you gotta love it. And Angela is actually a really sympathetic character; you find yourself anxious to see what happens to her. And when that ending comes... HOLY CRAP. The sequels weren't horrible, but they don't hold a candle to the original.

[freethy]

I had never seen any of these movie's till I saw part 2 the other night. And I have to say, it was shit hahaha! It was alright for a comedy, but no horror value at all. Hahaha! It was funny.

"Where's Ally?"

"She's probably off fornicating somewhere"

And of course, she was...lol

yeah parts 2 and 3 are PRETTY bad lmao. BUT its good to see robert hiltzik( director of the 1st) to be directing the 5th and it seems the story will kind of follow the same story line which is good!

[boogeyman87]

Okay, now this is the basic Sleepaway Camp thread. All discusion can comense. I've got some questions to anyone who can answer. What is this footage from Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor? How did this come about and why wasnt it involving Pamela Springsteen and Angela? Does anyone know this.

I see that helps some, but does anyone know why they wanted to go with this alison and not a straight sequel to teenage wastleland? I guess is something only the directors and writers would know.

Ask John in a PM. I'm sure he'll be more help than any writer or producer. He's a walking wealth of info.

[atomic dog]

it is sort of a continuation of sc3 and angela does survive but has amnesia. so she forgets everything. and sc4 was her finding out about herself.

[Thrillogy]

sleep awat camp films 1-4 are complete and utter donkey fetus :-D... meaning they suck. the first was only the best, and I hope the newest one is as good as the origional.

[atomic dog]

the trailer i saw looked good. went back to the basis and basic killing with good gore.

[Beau]

Man, i didn't even know there was a Sleepaway camp 4 movie.
I have seen 1,2 and 3 but never 4. And from that, i can tell that it wasn't a very sucsessfull film.

[atomic dog]

it was never finished.

Oh and what about Sleep Away Camp 5, is that being made ??

yes it is. i think it is called the return to sleepaway camp.

[Jackolantern99]

Technically it would be Sleepaway Camp 4, since the original part 4 was never finished. And judging from the footage released in the box set, it would have sucked insane ammounts of ass anyway. I'm talking porn-worthy acting skills.

And yes, according to www.sleepawaycampmovies.com it's near finished. However, no credible movie sites have so much as mentioned it and I've yet to hear of a release date.

Exactly, i sat and watched that footage and was so bored and tired of it. Why even include it i say. As for Return to Sleepaway Camp it does look okay from the pics the've got up and the plot but i want to know why it looks way under budget? Why wouldnt that have at least the budget as the previous sequels.

Like I said, none of the major film sites seem to want to list it as "Upcoming", which is why I question the status of the project, budget and distribution-wise.

The first three "Sleepaway" movies weren't exactly well known in the first place, now they're making a sequel almost 20 years later. Not to mention none of the cast went on to anything spectacular.

It DOES look very low-budget. Rumors are flying around about crew and miscellaneous workers who have yet to be paid for their services months after shooting has completed, and from what I can tell, the entire production (headed by the director of the original, and including a supposedly not-so-trustworthy webmaster of sleepawaycampmovies.com) was done very unprofessionally.

But CKY and Isaac Hayes make appearances...who knows...

[boogeyman87]

I know. Just by looking at these http://www.angelfire.com/retro/officialsleepaway2/rtsc1stills.html It just looks horrible underbudget. Like it was shot in someones backyard with barrio kids palying the roles. But your right, it is a sequal to a virtually un-noticed film. What should we expect?

[atomic dog]

well the 'official' doesn't have anything up anymore about sc5.

[Silverpsycho]

I can't wait for the latest Sleepaway film..."Sleepaway Camp: Kids Can Be So Mean" because I adore the series! It is just so campy and Angela is unique with her way cheesy one-liners! Sleepaway Camp 2 is probably my most favorite with all its references to 80's films and Pamela Springstein really defined the "new" Angela! :D

However, the original never fails to make my jaw drop...it is just so unexpected that it slaps you in the face! The box-set is well worth the price at Best Buy. Anyone here manage to get the red cross version? I managed to grab one of the last two...thank God because the new box is not nearly as good.

I agree the footage from Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor is nothing that special but neat to watch at least once, then it's sort of a throw-away.

Personally, I'd love to see Aunt Martha come back one more time...she freaked the crap out of me!

Damn, I wish we had the horor channel over here. Not sure when and if it was supposed to come. But yeah, here(U.S.) it was very cheap considering how much it could be. Does anyone have a favorite kill out of the three movies? My favorites were TC's battery acid kill, Tawny Richards "coke" kill, and last but not least Lilly being mowed over. :)

OMG, in Sleepaway Camp 2...I loved when Angela barbequed the "Shit sisters" and then the line about "don't do drugs" right after. I mean it was so bad, it was absolutely hilarious! In fact most of the kills in 2 are great. I don't exactly love the 3rd installment, but the lawn-mower kill is pretty funny as well...especially since it is sped up in the movie...LOL :D

It doesn't matter, he runs the best Sleepaway site on the internet. He can like whichever one he wants.

Though I'd piss my pants in disbelief if he tried to claim the first as his favorite...

[Dusk]

First one favorite? Ha! Once upon a time, yes. But that was before... the darkness. And no, I don't dig NOES4 but TCM2 is quite fun. For why I think SC3 is the best chapter, read my liner notes in the Survival Guide booklet included with the DVD box set (plug plug!). If anyone has any SC questions let 'em rip.

I got a question: How long you been running the website?

[Dusk]

do you get insider information about sc5?

Yeah, but it's mostly negative, and fans tend to want positive news even if it's bullshit, so I keep things on the lowdown. Though, some kentucky moonshine can pry it from my lips most easily.

I got a question: How long you been running the website?

Well, I started it in 1998, brought on a partner, in 2001 I left the partnership and simply made a different URL for the site, and this resulted in two official websites with similar URLs.

[atomic dog]

how come there isn't anything on the site for sc5?

[Dusk]

I basically answered that q above. Things'll change if I get my hands on anything positive, though. A guy can hope, right?

[atomic dog]

why sc?
what made you liek this movie series?

[Dusk]

Right movie right time. Could've been anything I guess, but at the time (80's) I was young and disillusioned with the directions of my favorite genre series . So subconciously, I wanted a refreshing alternative and found it. The site was a by-product of SC fans having to discuss it on a F13 board and being heckled.

I'll try to get a basic SC5 page up soon. I've just got my hands full puting the finishing touches on CAMP NEW HORIZONS (SC3) replica sweatshirts.

[Beau]

I got another question, How long did it take you to build the website?

[atomic dog]

are you selling those shirt yourself?

The sweatshirts - perfect film replicas - are availible now through cafepress/my site.

I yesterday did get the Sleepaway Camp boxset. I have only watched the first film but i can wait to watch the special featurse aswell.

[Donnie Darko]

id never seen these flicks till about 5 months ago, i bought the Survival Kit blind.

i really liked the first movie, it kept me wondering because these deaths were happening and i thought it was Angela doing them but i wondered how a little girl could do that.
needless to say i was freaked out by the ending of the movie, wow!

later after work that same day i watched parts 2 and 3.

part 2 is my favorite, i really like the direction they took with the series and it has some really good ways of killing in it. with most of the campers you just knew they were gonna die, but wondering how was half the fun. Bringing Angela back as a couselor was a really good move. that kept me wanting more!

part 3 is a really solid installment also, almost my favorite. the deaths are more thought out and complex. my favorite being the snort of death for the reporter. man thats fucking awesome!! the bitch shouldve done the "taste test" before snorting that shit.

ill camp until i die....

i really liked the first movie, it kept me wondering because these deaths were happening and i thought it was Angela doing them but i wondered how a little girl could do that.

I just got finished watching parts 2 and 3 and after all these years, it's still so stupid that I like it. did anyone notice in part 2, the campers were named after Brat Packers and the "good" campers in 3 were named after the Brady Brunch as well as Herman and Lily paying tribute to the Munsters? weird, huh?:p

Sleepaway Camp - *1/2

[Robert Beaudoin]

I liked all 3. But of the 3, I like the original one the best. It set the tone.

[Ozzy]

I love the sleepaway series. The ending of part one has to be one of the creepiest endings ever. Anglea's face and her breathing at the end still gives me the willies.

[boogeyman87]

A new behind the scenes interview clip is now up.

EDIT:

Sleepaway Camp 2 will be on Friday at 6:30 and 9:30pm on Showtime Beyond.

[Silverpsycho]

Finally! Something new :D
Thanks for posting the link Chris, I havn't been there in quite awhile since the updates have been slow. It's awesome that things are starting to appear again. Jeff is such a tease...lol :D

[atomic dog]

wow that is alot of information for this new flick. but no date.

[SEXMACHINE]

These movies are great. Even if 3 is kind of shitty. I love the Angela character. Maybe have a vs match between her and the Night of the DEmons Angela.

Agreed part 3 was kinda shitty. I was so happy when snow boy died :D LOL - I cant wait to see the trailer for the new SC movie.
I never seen night of the Demons.

Still havent seen any of these movies. No rental places around me seem to carry them for some reason.

They're all on DVD. The transfer though looks like it was taken off an old VHS copy.

Part one was actually a double disker with House by the cemetery on the other side.

Holy shit why haven't I found this thread earlier.

Ok, well over the past few weeks I've had the delight of seeing Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers, and Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland. I must say that these are my kind of slasher flicks. I loved the original Sleepaway Camp for is creepiness, but you gotta love these two for the gore and humor. Well, honestly I must say that during the a couple scenes in the 2nd, I was creeped out, but only by the absolute insanity of Angela Baker, portayed by Pamela Springsteen in both films. She does a HELL of a job and really I think shes cooler than Freddy and Jason just because I mean the kills are the most imaginative kill ideas i've seen in a while, and it's just cause the omega cheesy and campy texture to it. Totally classic flicks, both four stars for there watchability. The original, also classic. I haven't seen the beginning or whatever the remainder is of the fourth film, but I'm hopeful for Return of Sleepaway Camp. Hopefully it'll have the same humor and imagination of the 2nd and 3rd.

Yes, they are true underrated classics. I'm also in agreeance that Pamela Springsteen portrayed Angela so so well. I dont know if she was written all that way or if it was just Pam's charisma but the performance was great.

The kills were the best, along with the 80's feel. Lawnmowing decapatations, cocaine switcharoo, battery acid, drill.....I love creativity.

[Silverpsycho]

Yeah definitely, I agree that Angela is an underrated horror icon. Her kills are some of the best. The character (I won't say who) that got plunged in the outhouse...that makes me cringe every time, YUCK!:p I love all of them but the second one wins by a landslide for me.

Thats the one. In that case, I have never seen a Sleepaway Camp movie then.

[súrf nází]

I've got a question, for any of you all-knowing cats out there, is Pamela Springsteen returning as Angela in the next Sleepaway Camp film, or what?

[atomic dog]

no. the next film has a new character.

I don't believe she even acts anymore...

[súrf nází]

Damn that really sucks. No one can replace her as Angela in my eyes.

[Miss Informed]

Felissa Rose from part 1 is reprising her role for part five. It's going to feature members of CKY (the band) in the movie. I guess since Felissa Married Deron she felt the need to put his ass in the movie.

[atomic dog]

how is she going to play her part? at the convention she was at she said she wasn't going to and there wasn't even a character for her.

[kerrsth]

hm...i keep going to the http://www.sleepawaycampfilms.com/ and trying to see whats up with part 5...that page has said top secret for like 10 months and its buggin the shit outta me! im happy ronnie and ricky return...i liked ricky alot in part 1 and though he had died so its nice to know that he didnt... I picked up the red cross box set for 12.99 at a independent movie rental store a few months ago along with my Halloween 25th ann. edition... I must say i love it...altough i hate that sleepaway camp 4 didnt have a cover...so i went on http://www.sleepawaycampfilms.com/ and got the cover myself...and now they all have dvd covers lol....

btw i love the 2nd alot to...and the 3rd...but the first is a classic to me...much like halloween, friday the 13th, Nightmare on elm street...etc...

nothing tops the ending! :D

i only wish they would have completed part 4.

[kerrsth]

i know...but altleast us with the red cross box set have the archive footage for what the 4th would of been like...looked kinda suck though lol

[Silverpsycho]

I would have liked to have seen the fourth SC film completed as well, but there wasn't enough footage, or sound for that matter, to really see what it would have turned out like. I am sure it would have been fun like the others but the new Angela didn't look the greatest. I liked that homely look of Pamela Springstein...she was great. I am really looking forward to Return to Sleepaway Camp, as I miss the cornball cheesiness and unique kills. Hopefully the new installment will offer what the older ones did and I am sure it will.

[kerrsth]

yea, i hope we can get a new boxset to come out for it once the 5th ones out

[LtRipley]

ooookay.

I bought the box set and watch3ed all the movies.

Sleepaway Camp was pretty good. It was a little weird when there wasn't a kill going on because it seemed like a disney movie. The score was very Disney esque I felt. It was like The Parent Trap meets Friday The 13th. Pretty good nonetheless. It takes a few veiwings to get the jist of what all happens. ** and 1/2 stars.

Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers was different. More like your typical 80's slasher. I thought the age of the campers kind of ruined it. The first one had a more realistic camp, this camp just didn't make sense. What 16 and 17 year olds go to summer camp? The fact that Angela was the same age as the campers also kind of threw things out of proportion. Sometimes I liked the actress playing Angela but sometimes I wish she was more like the original. ** stars.

Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland was even more of a typical slasher film. I really felt this one was a little pointless. We get no backstory to what Angela did for a year, she just up and comes back. How did she know who the girl she killed in the beginning was or any of that. The kills were a lot less imaginative in this one and the schtick was a little stale once she killed the first group. The endind was pretty good but I kind of wished they would have just let her die because the ambulance scenes just sucked.* and a half stars

I know 2 and 3 were supposed to be funny and they definatley worked but the Angela charecter only worked half the time for me in the 2nd and was just plain boring by the 3rd.

Now as for Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor, what in the hell were they thinking? What doesn't make sense to me is that the trailer makes so much sense of out of scenes of a girl running through the woods for a half hour. This was pointless. I know it was unfinished but they didn't seem to be going anywhere with this to begin with so maybe it's a good thing. No stars.

I'll probably watch the 5th one when it comes out. Supposedly it ignores parts 2-4, which I may like. It is supposed to have Angela but only in a minor role, which sucks because I'd really like to know what happened to this girl fromt he first one. I wouldn't really care to know what happened to the Angela from 2 and 3.

Unimaginative kills? I was thinking "wow I've never seen that shit before!" when watching Tawny Richards snort the cleaning chemicals(notice my avatar) along with Lilly Miranda's lawnmower scene. I've always been creeped out by that death, I've had dreams of that stuff.

I hope you werent disspleased with Pamela Springsteen? To me she brought so much to the film with her comedy and her overall general personality portrayel of Angela.

I watched SC3 in two parts so the coke kill slipped my mind when posting, I guess it was pretty imaginitive but both deaths aren't very well executed.

I thought Pam was good in part two but by the third the charecter just became too rediculous and nonsensical. I would have preffered the more derranged Angela from the original to the one we get in SC3.

SC3 in general just seems like they were running on empty and burned out. I hear they shot it back to back with SC2. Even the set of SC3 seems like half the crew quit because of exahstion. (ex. the desolate camp).

I dunno, I guess I just didn't really like part 3 or 4.

I 100% agree with you Chris ;)
I found the kills to be so unique in comparison to all other horror films I have seen and Pam Springstein brought the character to life. True, the third is not my most favorite, but those kills...they blew me away and brought something new to the table. I find myself watching that particular installment just for some of the kills and Angela's cheesy one-liners. I feel it is a worthy 80's slasher in comparison to other films we got in that decade.

[fanatic986]

I just brought the DVD Survivor Set! And its awesome! And it came with the forth disk!

I'm watching part 1 as I type.:D

[MichaelMyers]

In the past week I've watched the 2nd and 3rd Sleepaway camp films for the first time on Showtime. I still haven't seen the first yet or the parts of 4 that were filmed. I'll just say I thought 2 and 3 were interesting in terms of kills.

[coryorton]

the 2 sequels outbeat the original by millions upon millions of leaps.

The original was really shitty if you ask me.

The campiness and cheesy humor thrown into the following 2, and Pam Springsteen make them so much better.

[DarknessBDJM]

Love the original,a nd the weird feel it has, especially the ending, the face that Felissa Rose makes and the face on the masked guy from afar are right up there with Captain Howdy's face from the Exorcist and Michael Myers' mask as the scariest faces in horror. That was just a creep out scene, which I love. The rest of the movie doesn't get the love it deserves though, soem really weird flashbacks.

Parts 2 and 3 are good campy horror fun, nothing liek the original besides the setting though. I thought Pamela Springsteen was good in her role, she seemed to be having fun.

Haven't seen 4 yet (I haven't seen it around), but have looked for it.

Your not going to find a part 4, anywhere. Its only a small amount of footage that was shot for the film, footage that is on a special disc that accompanies the Survival Kit boxset.

[LtRipley]

Don't bother. It's just crappy footage of soem girl running around the woods. Nothing else. Pretty dumb to even put it in the boxset. It's just a waste of time.

[JOeKER]

Th eoriginal is the best to me, though I do enjoy the others too,

[Ringu]

Ok, I FINALLY got the box set today at Best Buy (I know, I'm slow, I said that I'd get it way back in December 2004). The set is cool (I got the last one there too:D). I'll give my thoughts on them when I see them.

[myers2004]

i liked them all and loved the look of the box set. that thing rocked with the first aid kits and the blood on it.

[Kara Strode]

The only thing about these movies I did like...was the box art. Granted, I think I've only seen 1 and 2...but that was enough ;)

[myers2004]

I think it fell throug hand never finished or something. But now they are doing "Return to Sleepaway Camp" and it's written and directed by Robert Hiltzik, the guy who wrote and directed the original and as of now it's slated for a 2006 release.

[myers2004]

yeah i saw the start of four or what they call four in the box set but wasnt at all impressed. oh well guess we cant get everything good all the time. as far as renting them yes run out and get them they are a great set of movies to sit back and enjoy with a lot of laughter as cheesy as they are but you have to love the b-movies.

Well the fourth disc entitled "The Survivor" in the Survival Kit box-set has nothing to do with the fourth full movie entitled "Return to Sleepaway Camp." "The Survivor" was an abandoned project...and I agree it didn't look all that great...especially since there weren't any returning characters like Pamela Springsteen or Felissa Rose. The actualy "Return to Sleepaway Camp" will have many returning from the original cast, so I am excited that it might have the same feel as the original Sleepaway.

[myers2004]

i hope they do return alot of them and the ending to one just freaked me out at the time i first saw it. i was young enough i dont remember how old i was but just seeing that last scene made me not want to go to camp for a bit.

[Ringu]

I finally watched them all yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. They were fun, cheesy '80's movies. I don't regret buying the set at all and I am really looking forward to "Return To Sleepaway Camp". I couldn't even watch all of the bonus fourth disc, I watched the trailer and that was bad enough, SCIV looked absolutely terrible and I'm glad it was abandoned. You can read my "reviews" of them in the "Grade The Last Movie You Watched" Thread. Part One was easily the best though.

[JOeKER]

I just found the Uncut version of Sleepaway Camp on DVD today and I am excited to watch it. I already have the edited Anchor Bay version that came with the Survival Kit, but I'm looking forward to the extra footage on my new purchase.

[Sunday Girl]

I **LOVE** "Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers". I watched it about a million times the summer of 2004. I was obsessed with it, along with "House on Soroity Row". Angela, in that installment, is one of my favorite movie charectors ever. She's so cool and funny. Pamela Springsteens bad acting is very charming. I thought the first SAC was okay. The acting was really bad, though, and not in a really good way. And I already knew the suprise ending before I saw it. I was so INCREDIBLY dissapointed by "Teenage Wasteland". I was depressed for a whole two days after watching it. It seemed much more darker than prt.2, and Angela just wasn't the same. She seemed... depressed. Her new hairdo was awesome, though. I only watched it a second time to listen to the commentary. I did have the boxed set, but unfortuantely I sold it on ebay. It was one of the greatest DVD's/DVD boxed sets I've ever gotten.

If you liked the box set so much, why did you sell it if you don't mind me asking?

I was fairly disappointed with Teenage Wasteland myself. It didn't really compare to the first two.

I think it was because I wanted to have more money to spend on my doll collection. I thought I had seen 'em enough times, and would probably get tired of watching them anyways. I haven't watched any of them since I sold the set last September.

Hmmmm... I've never seen them. I've tried to rent the first one but couldn't find it at the rental store. I just moved, so maybe the blockbuster here has it. Course, I did see the boxed set at best buy for only 24 bucks so should I try to rent them or just assume I'll like the movies and buy the DVDs? Any suggestions?

[JOeKER]

Buy the DVDs. It is definitely worth the price. I went out and bought them before watching them and I'm glad I did because I love them. In fact, I even ended up buying the UNcut version of the original because I liked it so much as I stated earlier.

[scarymoviechap]

want to buy mine? I only watched each movie once. They were okay. I don't plan on watching them again. Besides Cinemax is showing parts 2 and 3 on a loop these days. I only liked the first oen really so I'll probably make a copy of it.

I'd compare them to Friday the 13th with a little extra 80s cheesiness (trust me, it's good), younger characters, and an even bigger twist.

PART 3 is a good installment with a good mix of horror and comedy !! BRING BACK ANGELA BAKER.... NOW !!!!!!!

[Miss Informed]

I know that in the new one they have Felissa coming back. But I kind of think that Pamela really is "Angela". Ya Know? Oh well in this new one you are going to have her and the CKY dudes in the movie. I guess since Felissa married the singer of that band they all have to be a part of it. I don't think it's going to be very good.

I assume my information is correct. I could be wrong. Anyone know if that is even going to get a release?

[JOeKER]

I believe you are correct. I am looking forward to the return of Felissa Rose as Angela probably since I love the original Sleepaway Camp more than the sequels. She was very creepy as the young Angela and I'm excited about her coming back.

[Trickster]

I dont understand what is happening with the new Sleepaway camp movie - I have seen loads of articles/pics from it etc.. but it does not get released...

Oh well in this new one you are going to have her and the CKY dudes in the movie. I guess since Felissa married the singer of that band they all have to be a part of it. I don't think it's going to be very good.

I assume my information is correct. I could be wrong. Anyone know if that is even going to get a release?

Oh? Is that the case? She married the singer? Didn't know that.... would explain things I guess. I thought they just got CKY for publicity.

Even with that said, I don't have any expectations for the new one. I never was keen on Felissa Rose as Angela and always considered Pam Springsteen the true and better one. The first Sleepaway Camp isn't even too good.

[pauly B]

The first one is the best, but love 2 and 3 for the comical side.
But the scariest thing for me was spotting someone who looked like Angela at a swimming Pool!!

Don't kill me!:( But I haven't seen any of the Sleepaway Camp movies.:o I know that's crazy, but for some reason I never got into them. I saw at best buy they have the Sleepaway Camp Survival Kit for $25, that's 3 movies for the price of 1, so someone give me a reason to go and get it, thanks!;)

You can buy the films on individual discs or as a cool box set !
Enjoy !;)

[Samo]

Yeah, the boxset is awesome. I highly recommend that because once you watch the first one you would want to watch the rest, thats what happen to me and a few of my friends.

Some of the kill scenes are pretty inventive and gory !!!

[discvader]

Thanks Guys!:)
I went and picked it up(best buy is 10 minutes away), and I haven't watched them yet, but I would like to comment on the case the movies come in.

Anchor Bay always swings for the fences with there dvd's, I mean this box set is just nice to look at. If there's an award for dvd manufacturing they should get it. Maybe there is and maybe they do? Nice booklet and bonus disk. Great packaging!:D

I'll start to watch them tonight, cause I'm trying to get through my friday the 13th mini-marathon

Last night I popped in the 1st Sleepaway Camp and within the first 15 minutes I was whisked back into time, to the late 80's with USA's Up All Night with Rhonda Shear.:)

This is grade A 80's cheese/camp slasher with some disturbing kills, I love it! Just to be sure, did the curling iron go where I think it did? Messed up!:eek:

For all of you who've seen it, did the ending get you? Got me, I had to check the box to make sure I didn't have The Crying Game in. I knew who the killer was, but I didn't know THAT! Awesome! I loved the guy who played Mel, overacting at it's finest and the guy who played the head of ricky's cabin or dorm, he was good too. Great kills, no doubt!;)

Can't wait to watch the rest today or tomorrow, but I'll have to find some tight short shorts, a bandanna, and a cut-off shirt, so I can watch them the right way!:D

Hey.. Real glad you enjoyed the first movie.. YES! the curling iron DID go in that "certain place".(OUCH !) That scene where the sleazy cook guy gets boiled is pretty nasty too

Yeah, the effects were really good, which surprised me. The arrow kill was also neat, seamless transition.

Chopping mall is superb.. AND I believe its now available on DVD....Silent scream & Final Terror are both pretty darn great slasher flicks but sadly only available on VHS and are quite difficult to track down). They both deserve DVD releases.

[atomic dog]

guys, this thread is for sleepaway camp only.

[Trickster]

sorry.. got a bit carried away. apologies.

[discvader]

Yeah, my bad atomic dog.

Back on subject, besides region 1, do other region Sleepaway Camp boxsets have the bonus disk with them? Or is it a Best Buy exclusive? If it is your not missing much...

I got the bonus disc with my region 2 copy. I think its a great package for the low price!

I didn't even finish watching the stuff for part IV because it was so awful. I guess it's nice to have though, even if its just to say you have it.

[Superman]

I only want this set if it is the red cross box and has the bonus disc....otherwise I'll pass on it. The red cross box is important to me. It just looks so much better.

[Trickster]

The "saga" of part 4 seems endless. Its been rumoured for ages but seems unlikely to ever get a true release due to all the production probelms etc...

Is there another boxset out? I thought that was the only one. In the U.S. that is. It was $23.99 at best buy, can't beat that for 3 movies and a killer case... Recommended :)

If it did not come from Bestbuy then it did not have the extra disc.

[discvader]

Oh, I thought the one I just got had the red cross, but it must just have red on it and first aid products. It does have the bonus disk though...

[dragon4kody]

Sleepway camp 1 was freaky, loved the ending. Very bizzare. I just bought the box set and very impressed with it. One of my favs when I was younger.

[Samo]

I was caught off-guard by the ending. I was just shocked as well, but I continued to watch the others. They were very 80ish Slasher, obviously they were made in the 80s LOL, they just had a different feel from the first one, but not in a bad way.

[thetwistedsoul]

I bought the box set of e-bay a few months ago for 14.95 plus 3.00 shipping. I already had part 2, so now I have dupes.

[discvader]

Last night I watched Sleepaway Camp II for the first time and it seems to have a different tone than the 1st one, but still enjoyable. It will never win any awards, but you know that going in to the film, they are what they are, camplicious fun. I guess that the producers decided to bump up the nudity meter on this one, holy cow, can we say gratuitous!:eek:

I loved TC's mullet, that was a classic, infact that was the most mullets I've seen in a while. I can't believe I haven't watched these before, but I'm kinda glad I didn't cause it's fun watching a good camp movie that I haven't seen, they don't make them like that anymore!

I loved the Freddy, Jason, Leatherface scene!That was classic. Probably don't need tags cause I'm the only person who hasn't seen them and they're 20 years old, but oh well. The kills in the beginning weren't as spectactular as the 1st film, but by the end they kicked it up several notches, some disturbing kills, with out a doubt! Recommended:)

Good Night Happy Campers!;)

[Trickster]

I think parts 2+3 have more "dark humour" than the original film which was a "straight down the line" slasher flick. I do think pamela Springsteen did a grand Job in the role as Angela.

I agree, but I don't think she has ever done anything else worth mentioning.

Looking on IMDB she has done very little TV/film work.. shame really cos she was pretty darn good :(

[discvader]

Watched Sleepaway Camp III last night. The triliogy is over and my time at camp has ended.

I enjoyed it. I love how Angela just kills and looks like she's having fun. Disturbing I tell ya. The firecracker and lawnmower scenes will stay with me for awhile, good stuff! The story was a little weaker in the 3rd one I thought, but you're not watching this kind of movie for a story, see Ben-hur if your looking for substance. Again great effects, memorable kills, and gratuitous nudity, what more do you need? B-

[Lonnie_Elamb]

Yeah, after seeing all of your reviews and figuring that these sound like my kind of movies, I bought the Survival Kit at Best Buy. So far I'm through the first two movies, and I've really enjoyed them. The ending of the original was pretty fucked up, but it was cool.

Glad you enjoyed them! Proceed the third viewing i'm sure you will enjoy that one as well. Hope to see ya back from Camp in piece! :D

[Moron86]

I've only seen the first movie, and I have to say I'm not a fan. I decided to take a chance and pick this up on day against my better judgment. I don't know what it is about the movie, but I really didn't enjoy it.

Don't want to have to leave camp early.:eek:
Good night happy campers...;)

I just got done with Teenage Wasteland. I like it better than Unhappy Campers, but all of these movies are good. I'll defenitly be looking forward to the new one when it comes out.

[dragon4kody]

I love the first sleepway camp better than all of the others. This movie was way cool with the kick ass death scense. The ending was very bizzare, and creepy. The other squels were cool but not freaky or anything. I have the box set, and very happy with it.

Good luck, it's been in development hell for the past 3 or 4 years and no one knows when its being released, even though it's supposedly "finished"...last we heard the CGI special effects were being touched up...great...

[Trickster]

Its finally looking like thw long awaited installment in the sleepaway camp series will be with us soon... I believe one of the main problems with its release was that many of the actors did not receive payments they were promised !!

Now I can't wait. Hurry up and get the movie out dammit!

Nice, I created another Sleepaway Camp this past weekend. My Ex-G/f came to town to visit from Green Bay, and we were going to watch movies, and I had her look at my DVD collection to pick one out. She for some reason picked Sleepaway Camp because she never heard of it, and to my shock, she loved it. She even wanted to watch the second one(And someday wants to watch the third.). lol, if only more people could see these movies. A long time ago, I noticed that they aren't even at the video stores around here. Strange.

[Samo]

Good stuff, Lonnie_Elamb. That reminds me of one of my friends that does not enjoy horror movies and after watching the first one he ended up actually liking it. He insisted on viewing the second one and so we did. That also happened to some of my other friends, I guess the series really grabs people's attention and to this day they still reference this movie because they have a cat that everyone thought was a girl, but it was actually a boy and everybody calls the cat Angela. LOL! :p
