The actor's audition was for him to let loose with a string of profanities. For Angela it was to stare straight ahead, and pretend to eat a chocolate bar.
In the scene where the senior girl's councilor throws Angela off the docks and into the water as Ricky and Angela walk back onto the shore of the lake from the docks there are a group of little kids throwing sand at them, those are the little kids that were hacked to death in their sleeping bags after the one councilor took the other two boys back.
41:18 Yes it's a real person, but Angela's face was a prosthetic mask of actress Felissa Rose's face placed on a college boy. To sell the effect, they couldn't have Angela talk, so they merely had her "hiss" at the end.
Interesting what I heard was they spliced her head onto a boys body in post so she couldn't move or she'd ruin the shot since the two of them had to be in exact spot to have it line up.
This is one of the greatest memories of my childhood ever! Watching this reaction was gold! I like you guys so much! My new favorite channel.....although I would be the old fart in the room with you guys! Felissa Rose is a goddess! Karen Fields who played Judy is also a lovely human. They were all evidently so close on set! This was fun! Thank you!
Being an old-timer, I had guessed the killer very early on. This follows the old Hollywood gimmick of making the murderer the last person in the world anyone would suspect. The wheelchair-bound paraplegic, the blind guy, the sweetest, funniest little old man or lady with a cane, the mentally challenged kid or handyman, or other supposedly weak or immobile person. Nonetheless, the reveal here was a good twist and still a shocker ...and a very sad one at that, because Angela/Peter was the greatest victim of all. I wish they'd left 'them" onscreen a tad longer, it all flew by so fast that we were left asking "Wait, WTF was that?"
The director actually agrees with you on the death of the three little kids in the sleeping bags. He said if he were to do it again that's one thing he'd change.
@@wesdalton7369 To clarify as I heard it the director cared more that the reason for the death wasn't clear enough not that they died. He wanted to change it so Angela had more of a reason to kill them.
The actor who played Ricky said that poor guy kept crying and drinking alcohol while they were shooting that scene. Fortunately, his name was never known and he was able to move on with his life.
32:24 yeah and her death is great, they did a fantastic job of making the characters so infuriating that you're just waiting to see them die...and cheer when it happens :) 32:53 if I was Anglea...so would've grabbed Meg's hair and she would've joined me in that water...
something often missed: the kids that get killed out in the woods are the same kids that were throwing sand on Angela after Ricky walked her away from the dock
No, the knife in Sleepaway Camp is different than the buck 120 knife used in Scream. The cover art on the Sleepaway Camp case however uses the Scream buck 120 knife instead of the actual knife used in the Sleepaway Camp movie.
@@GraveCinema though the low life bullies in this film probably didn't deserve their deaths 2 some people that still don't mean they didn't have it coming in a way!
Jane Krakowski from 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was supposed to play Judy in this movie. However Judy's death being her getting a hot curling iron in her lady part, made her decide to drop out.
Oh, did you ever react to 1975's "Trilogy of Terror" One actress, Karen Black in 3 different roles, 3 different stories. The 3rg one is the best with that Doll lol-kinda campy fun
Great reaction i’m happy to see Sleepaway Camp get more exposure it’s a film that may have a cult following but, it’s still a bit niche (It’s a essential 1980’s film) The two follow up sequels are actually just as good imo (They suffered due to the MPAA demanding cuts to both Sequels (Both sequels would’ve been given the X ratting if released uncut) Sleepaway Camp 4 (The unfinished sequel) is this odd entry aiming to be more like a soft core adult film) There’s plenty of reasons why that was never finished! it was probably just done as a tax shelter! Return to Sleepaway Camp is by far one of the absolute worst horror films in the last 20yrs (Had no real point in being made terrible story waste of the cast time) 👍
And the Officer's fake moustache. I read that the actor had to leave mid shoot and he had to shave it off. Not sure why they felt they needed to add a fake one, someone could of said , oh did not recognize you and he could have said, yeah was tired of it something lol. So he get's the most fake looking moustache in a movie award for 1983 lol!
Too bad that the first movie was the best movie in the series - the other ones were okay on their own, but never reached the same "shock value" of the reveal of this first movie in the franchise - it never quite reached beyond what other movies in the genre already offered to viewers during that period. It also moved away from the "horny summer camp counselor" trope to something more resembling counselors actually doing their jobs (for the most part), and the gender reveal really hit your in the gut out of nowhere, because the movie kinda leaves hints that it could only be a guy because of the sheer extreme physical strength needed (like in the shower scene, for example). So yes, you are directed in one way towards "the killer", but then the reveal of someone you totally don't expect could do it, UNTIL the reveal kinda shows you why that person COULD. Wasn't the kids in the woods part of the group of kids on the roof that were throwing water balloons at Angela? My view of her character is that she ONLY went after people that were mean to her - and not just a little bit mean, but actually hard core mean to her. It seems that her trauma was directly linked to water, and if you want to look even closer at it, it seems that the meanness was always linked to her being portrayed as a girl. This makes you wonder if her trigger was her peers insulting her as a girl (and finding out her secret), or the plain threat of water brought near her, since both were kinda slowing down her personal growth and personality. As for the "80's bully mentality", yeah, in some ways it's overexaggerated for dramatic effect, while in other places it's quite spot-on. Because some things were less regulated back then, kids could get away with a lot more - for example, the issue of killer kids and teens were only being highlighted more during the 90s (not because it only became a problem then, but because that's only when people started focusing on it more). Cyberbullying of course only came in MUCH later, so bullying was still something that was physically done, usually by bigger kids to smaller kids, or more popular kids to less popular kids. Of course, that only gave us thicker skins. :/ If you are looking for another worthwhile movie with "psychos", I can recommend Asylum (1972) - a British horror anthology that is VERY light on the blood and gore, but is about a doctor that visits a mental institutions for a job interview, and who is directed to assess 3 different patients telling how they came to be locked up there as part of his interview - it also has a shock ending in each of the stories, and in the main overarching story as well.
the shock value was cheap and homophobic and the special effect is laughable. the sequels are made better. also this makes zero sense with her being the killer. theres no physical way she could have done those kills. even the brother wasnt much more believable. you cannot apply logic to this movie.

Other acceptable mullets charlie sheen in Beyond the Law and Brian Bosworth in Stone Cold, but those aren't horror. I'm bummed you didn't point out to your roommate the cook is James Earl Jones father. They sound exactly alike.
i actually watced this last night as didnt watch back in the day. i watched nearly every other horror on vhs as a kid. this film was actually pretty bad except the ending
No. It was a red herring with Judy. They used his actor in shadow. The original film wouldn't have been as clear. The remaster made the image clearer which ruined the effect.
