Trivia:

The script initially contained more elaborate deaths for the characters which were ultimately trimmed for budget reasons. Herman was to have a flaming poker shoved into his crotch with Angela proclaiming it " a wienie roast!" Tawny and her entire news team were meant to die in a fiery explosion after Angela cut the break lines to their van.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Marcia sees Lily, her mouth opens but no sound comes out (this is fixed in a deleted scene)

Quotes:

Toni Richards:You Look a little older than the rest
Angela:Massive Drugs
Toni Richards:Drugs huh? you wouldn't know where where I can score some coke?
Angela:Yeah, there's a machine in the dining hall.

Angela's Rap

Angela is still up to her old ways

We're no longer going by the name of Camp Rolling Hills. All respect is to Angela (Pamela Springsteen) Baker. The camp is now titled Camp New Horizons.

This time, Angela changes here identity to a New York under privilege female by the name of Maria Nicastro. Angela soon dispatches Nicastro by way of a garbage truck and takes her identity, so that she can be a camper at Camp Rolling Hills aka Camp New Horizons. It's the same location, but it is yet under another name. This is due to the "MURDERS," as Lily, the camp co-owner would put it.

Married couple Lily and Herman, who is played by Micheal J. Pollard, are the camp owners and they make a desperate move to try and bring some inner city under privilege teens together for an experience in sharing.

It probably would have worked, except for the fact that the real Maria Nicastro won't be showing up. Instead, Angela Baker returns for yet another bloodbath of slaying.

This one has the same campy humor, creative deaths and beautiful babes, one which would include Jill (Night of the Demons) Terashita. Again, I'm not sure whether I like this one more of SC2 more. Nonetheless, check out this sleeper of a slasher flick. 10/10
