The
Sleepaway Camp series is one of my favorites, for years I'd only seen the 2nd and 3rd installments, which i fell in love with, then i watched the original. when i heard part 4 was coming, i was looking forward to it, and while i did enjoy it, and the returning original cast, it was just not the same.
the 2nd:
Unhappy Campers and the 3rd:
Teenage Wasteland were very closely related... probably because of Pamela Springsteen, who is superbly funny as Angela in these movies. They were shot back to back which is probably why they run so closely together... the 2nd is defo my favorite tho.
Fave deaths:
Part 1. hard to choose, but I'll say when Meg (that's M-E-G) was stabbed... though the bees nest death would be painful.
Part 2. Even more inventive series of events, but I'll chose Ally's demise.... heavily cut when i first watched it on VHS... i was thrilled when i finally saw it, in the cut version i saw they cut after she'd been stabbed...
Part 3. possibly Bobbies death... arms yanked clean off... ouch! or maybe how lily dies...
Part 4. i don't remember too clearly, but i seem to remember a bed with lots of blades falling on top of the obnoxious camp bully, so I'll choose that one...
there was a movie partially made called
Sleepaway Camp : The survivor, but it was never completed (and doesn't sound too exciting) this would have slotted in between 3 and 4.
And I've heard of two more sequels coming... one set after the fourth (which skips events from 2 and 3) and one set after the third... ones called Berserk?? dunno if production continues or not, but I'd love to see em! anyone have any news on this? i'd appreciate it....
