    • Trivia
      This is Mike Kellin's final film. He was sick during filming, but did his best to conceal it. He died of lung cancer in August 1983, three months before the film's release.
    • Goofs
      The cop at the end of the movie has an obviously fake mustache.
    • Quotes

      Billy: Eat shit and die, Ricky!

      Ricky: Eat shit and live, Bill.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end when all the credits are finished, the freeze-frame of Angela stays onscreen for about 10 more seconds.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1986 UK video was cut by 57 secs by the BBFC with edits to repeated shots of Meg's stabbed corpse. The cuts were restored in the 2004 Anchor Bay DVD.
    • Connections
      Edited into Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor (2002)

    Creepy
    This was part of a Cheesy Horror night and most of the time my friends and I were just amused by the funny 80s hair and clothes but the ending freaked us out, it is really creepy! And, they freeze it on a freaky image for nearly(if not all) the whole credits. Ick. Nobody expected the ending to be what it was. Most of the film is your standard summer camp horror movie - though the body count is rather high - kids getting it on, pranks etc.

    I recommend this film for its 80s value AND shock ending, though now everybody has told you the ending is shocking then you will probably spend the whole movie trying to figure out what it is.
