Sleepaway Camp

Summer vibes are giving us all the summer camp feels... And nothing screams, "Friday Late Night Movie on August 7" more than the cult-classic 80s slasher-fest SLEEPAWAY CAMP!

From the grisly SFX to the fashionable short-shorts, from the nihilistic vibe to the truly unforgettable climax, SLEEPAWAY CAMP is no ordinary slasher . . . it’s an all-time cult classic. After a boating accident kills her family, shy Angela (the iconic Felissa Rose) lives with her eccentric Aunt Martha and cousin Ricky. Angela and Ricky are sent to Camp Arawak for the summer, where bizarre and violent accidents are claiming the lives of campers. Has a dark secret returned from the camp’s past, or will another unspeakable horror end the summer season for all?

“This is a film that has not only stood the test of time, but has also slaughtered it with a glimmering blade in a cabin shower.”
(Bleeding Skull)

"The story of 'Sleepaway Camp' is pretty much everything you'd expect from a slasher movie and nothing you'd ever expect, which is what makes [director] Robert Hiltzik's campy and disturbing summer camp tale still one of the more memorable horror movies ever made." (Daily Dead)

SLEEPAWAY CAMP (Robert Hiltzik, 1983 / 14A / 85 mins) Slightly disturbed and painfully shy Angela Baker is sent away to summer camp with her cousin. Not long after Angela's arrival, things start to go horribly wrong for anyone with sinister or less than honorable intentions.
