When it comes to camp slashers, there's one camp that everyone automatically thinks of... Camp Crystal Lake. However, fans of the genre know to dig a little deeper, and spend a summer in Camp Arawak, aka Sleepaway Camp!
The series consists of the original 1983 film Sleepaway Camp, two back-to-back sequels Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) / Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (1989), a shitty incomplete sequel Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor (1992), and a return to form sequel in 2008 Return to Sleepaway Camp. Rumors have been circulating for years of a new sequel, "Sleepaway Camp Reunion", however there is no news to report.
Now what exactly makes Sleepaway Camp so great? Well, just watch the first one, and by the time it ends... you'll know.

That was... not what I was expecting. It was pretty hilarious for me, as a fan of bad movies. But I kept reminding myself that this was what fans of the first movie had waited 25 fucking years for. There was the exciting, long-awaited return of the original director and star, with a 4 million dollar budget, yet everything about this is so, so wrong.
