    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Willy Kuskin, who plays one of the bullied campers, was genuinely bullied by the other kids during filming. Frank Trent Saladino, who played a camp counselor, had to step in when the other cast members took things too far.
    • 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 (1992)

    oh my god...
    this was definitely a weird one. the realisticly ruthless portrayal of kids at camp, the pedophiliac in the kitchen, the unexplained insanity of the aunt, the homosexual undertones, the ENDING! i was utterly floored when i rented this one. if you can find it, rent it. watch it. show it to your friends and watch them cringe. Just follow my advice and hold onto something when it winds down to the end. i promise, you will be shocked, and will probably have the final image stuck in your head for a week.
