Ohhh, I'm a happy camper!!!!

Phil and I just watched Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers last night. If anyone out there is a fan of teen slasher B movies, and you haven't seen this series, you are totally missing out. This classic features such almost famous people like Pamela Springsteen (the Bruce's sister) and Renee Estevez (Emilio and Charlie Sheen's sister). Pamela has the lead role as Angela - a demented transexual with high moral values, who is released from a mental institution and goes back to camp (where she murdered people as a child) to become a councelor.

She quickly starts offing people who do nasty things like exposing their breasts over and over and over and over again, or for doing things like fornicating. Yes, she refers to it as fornicating. When people start going missing, she simply tells the staff and kids that she sent them home. No one seems to notice that it's in the middle of the night, that the parent's never actually show up, or that there are no witnesses. But who would question the Councelor of the week???

The special effects - like the acting - are top notch. It also features one of the best mullets ever on the big screen.

Key scenes:

The kids are blindfolded and are lined up to stick their hands in containers and are told that it's gross stuff - like at halloween:

Councelor1: Eyeballs!!
Kid: Oooooo!
Councelor2: Intestines!!
Kid: Ooooooo!
Angela: Dead teenagers' brains!
Kid: Ewwwwww.
Councelor2: What's really in there Angela??
Angela: Dead teenagers' brains.

Or there's the scene where all the girls, including the token black girl, are sitting by a campfire listening to hair-metal on the ghettoblaster. Token turns to a friend and says:

"Man Ally, you got great taste in music - for a white girl. Turn it up!!! YA!"

Ummm. right. I was waiting for her to shout ROCK ON!!! Sounds plausable to me. Oh and I can't forget the murder in the outhouse. Apparantly old abandonded outhouses in the middle of a field miles away from camp still contain enough feces and urine to drown a person. Or maybe Angela just had really bad diarrhea.

I'll soon be watching Sleepaway Camp 3 again. Pamela Springsteen reprises her role as Angela, along with Tracy Griffith, Melanie's sister. Yet another almost all-star cast. Somebody has to stop those teenagers from fornicating again.

1:00: Phil just alerted me to the fact that all the kids were named Molly, Ally, Judd, Anthony, Emilio (who hung out with a kid named Charlie) and Demi. Someone was a John Hughs fan. Of course how Phil remembered all the names is beyond me.
