Poster/info courtesy of White Knuckle Entertainment:

"This high-camp horror franchise has a huge cult following and numerous fan websites dedicated to it. This latest sequel, Sleep Away Camp, The Reunion 3D, promises to thrill its large fan base by raising the fright level with spine-tingling stereoscopic 3D effects. It is sure to create a frenzy of anticipation on the internet and lends itself to viral marketing strategies.

	Gorezone UK Magazine Article
	Mar 09, 2008

Here is that magazine article from Gorezone UK I mentioned a while back. This is posted with permission by the author Christian Sellers who did a great job covering the franchise. There's interviews with Michael Simpson and Felissa Rose, some Return stuff, and even a chat with me about the Berserk script.

	New Fan Script

	So Begins Endgame?
	Mar 05, 2008

I asked Return To Sleepaway Camp producer Tom Van Dell if he could clarify what is really going on. As we've learnt over the years, nothing will ever be set in stone until you actually get to see the flick, but here is his reply. He also mentioned in an earlier exchange that a distributor was finalized at Cannes.

"The film is done and we are already moving forward on the development of Sleepaway Camp Reunion which will be filmed in 2D and 3D later this year... that is the real story. Look for two versions of Return to Sleepaway Camp out this summer. First the camper’s edition late summer and then the limited extra footage and commentary edition for Halloween. We will also do select major market screenings in theaters throughout the summer."
 

	CLGraffix Tshirts
	Mar 04, 2008

Just a friendly reminder as this news got cut off after the design upgrade - Top horror shirt manufacturer CLC Graffix have created two t-shirts based around the Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers & Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland video art. Like our own camp shirts these are sold with the permission of the powers that be. The shirt art is illustrated by one of my personal writing heroes, legendary horror critic Chas Balun. Be sure to pick your poison and buy one of these (or both!).

	Felissa Rose As Carrie
	Feb 26, 2008

You know Sleepaway Camp has achieved true cultdom when one of its stars get to spoof their own character. That's exactly what has happened in Dave Campfield's follow up to Dark Chamber, Caesar And Otto's Summer Camp Massacre. It's a camp slasher spoof and lays the Sleepaway satire on thick, in its casting of Felissa Rose as "Carrie", who is practically Angela right down to the bone - literally, as characters mention she supposedly has a weiner. Additional connections are the casting of Deron Miller (CKY, RTSC, Rose's hubby) and uncle of Renee Estevez, Joe Estevez. Check the trailer out and for release info, Camp Motion Pictures. If you're all hankering for some Angela action, this'll fit the bill.

	Birds Of A Feather
	Feb 22, 2008

The 2000 short film starring Felissa Rose, Birds Of A Feather is back online via the director's YouTube (part one - part two). If you ever wanted to know what Angela would act like all grown up...
 

	Updated Design
	Feb 10, 2008

I uploaded a new design for the site today, be sure to shoot me any thoughts or constructive criticism via email or the forum. I tend to update the design at least once a year in the interests of keeping it fresh.
 

	Outta Control & Sleep Away
	Feb 9, 2008

While I've been busy prepping both a new site design and some more Berserk materials, I had to take time out to drop word in of this: the final "lost" SC2 & 3 soundtrack songs have been unleashed by the musician himself John Altyn! Outta Control, which played during Ally & Rob's bathroom tryst has never been heard in its entirety, nor has the Teenage Wasteland end credits track Sleep Away which lost a lengthy opening buildup. Visit John's album label's MySpace below and listen away:

	Sleepaway In Print
	Jan 18, 2008

Check out Gorezone #27, out throughout Jan. It's a UK mag but gets pretty decent distribution throughout the world via joints like Borders. This issue features a Sleepaway Camp article by Christian Sellers that contains interviews with Michael, Felissa, and your friendly neighborhood webmaster.
 

	Return/Reunion Exclusive News
	Jan 17, 2008

The question "What is up with Return To Sleepaway Camp?" has brought vague answers over the years. SleepawayCampFilms recently contacted several producers from the flick and asked for the 411 on your, the fans, behalf. Thank you to all those who took part, fans may sleep a little safer after this, having a better idea what the year may hold. Joe Nicolo, executive producer, answered "All I can tell you is what I know. The film is finally done and is being shopped now." Jonathan Sachar, executive producer, elaborated "the delay on Sleep was the color correction which has been complete and the score, which we were not happy with so it took an extra 6-8 months to get the score right... tighten up the edit... (which was way too long) the film is finally in shape". And finaly, producer Tom Van Dell had the following to say, and dropped a few bombs I'm allowed to share early:

"We have been busy selling the film and have three credible big studio offers on hand and will be meeting with those peeps next week at Sundance to make our final distributor selection. The film is done and ready for release. Fans will certainly see it within this year!!!!! Kerner Optical (formerly Industrial Light and Magic, of George Lucas fame) will be debuting the trailer for the film in addition to MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT that they are producing FX for the next and what Robert and I consider the third part of the original SC trilogy which will be shot in both 2D and 3D. Yes, Sleepaway Camp 3 in 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be stellar. We will be holding a contest soon for fans to create one of the 3D killings that will feature in the third installment. The tag line for SC 3 – 3D will be “From Sleeping Bags to Body Bags…You’ve Never Had This Much Fun Being Scared…in 3D!”"

About The Films

	…You Won't Be Coming Home! Welcome to Camp Arawak, where teenage boys and girls learn to experience the joys of nature, as well as each other. But when these happy campers begin to die in a series of horrible 'accidents', they discover that someone - or something - has turned their summer of fun into a vacation to dismember. Has a dark secret returned from the camp's past…or will an unspeakable horror end the season forever? From its grisly special effects to the truly shocking climax, Sleepaway Camp is no ordinary 'body count' movie.

	Five years after the horrific slaughter at Camp Arawak, transgendered lunatic Angela Baker has become a counselor at Camp Rolling Hills. But Angela is about to teach 'bad campers' a brutal lesson in survival when these horny teens are sliced, stabbed, drilled, barbecued, chain sawed and worse. Renee Estevez co-stars in this outrageously vicious sequel to the original cult hit, filled with gratuitous nudity, rampant mullets, exclusive extras and gore galore.

Academy Award nominee Michael J. Pollard (1967, Bonnie and Clyde) and Tracy (yes, she's Melanie's sister) Griffith co-star in this third wild installment of the cult body count saga, packed with all the cruel killings you love, and the gratuitous nudity you expect.
