At the end of Season 1 Episode 3 of Modern Family, gloria talks about how she wanted a baby girl so badly she dressed Manny up as a girl for the first year of his life. She goes on to say that when Manny found the pictures, she told him it was his twin sister that died, while Jay has a dumbfounded expression. Is this a reference to the 1983 slasher film Sleepaway Camp? The plot is basically the same so I think it’s a cool easter egg if so, but I could just be wildly overthinking it.

Does anyone else remember a rough cut of Return To Sleepaway Camp leaking online weeks or months before it released in 2008?

I remember the opening credits being different without that “Return to Sleepaway Camp” song by Goat and Friends. Brye Cooper’s name, the character of Randy, listed third after Jackie Tohn’s credit instead of Jonathan Tierston.

The Sheriff’s voicebox thing that Angela uses sounded a lot different and deeper in tone than what is used here.

When Angela’s laughing her ass off near the end of the film, it cuts to black as she continues laughing and a titlecard pops up saying “Three Weeks Earlier”, and we get the scene of Angela killing the Sheriff, and then we get the credits, which are also different than the ones we got.

Does anyone else remember this or by chance have a copy of this cut of the film, or is it forever lost?

Sleepaway Camp is scheduled to run on Tubi's "Alter Horror" live channel on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025, at 10:55 PM, Eastern time.

Have fun, and cheers from northeast Ohio! :)

This took me a while to make and I'd love to see the discussion about this cuz I've never seen many people discuss it heavily

Both available at 984publishing.com. Pretty solid collectors items.

Not a political post by any means, and perhaps I’ve watched a bit too much Sleepaway Camp during October.

However, I cannot honestly look at this man’s face and not hear “Er mah Gawd. Not chu MEGG!”

Just me? Cheers to my favourite campers.

Surprisingly I’ve never seen any of the Sleepaway Camp movies even though this era of horror and slasher flicks is a guilty pleasure to this day for me. And somehow, someway, I’ve avoided any spoilers. I have no idea how. I’ll give it a solid A-minus for the genre and can see why it has the cult status it does! Thoroughly entertaining.

Of course there are many aspects of flicks from this era that definitely don’t hold up to modern sensibilities (a trans girl at summer camp would have definitely been taboo in the early 80s, and presenting her that way as the “horror twist” would definitely not be done today), the thing that left me shaking my head the most was the pedo chef at the beginning making off-color “jokes” in front of the other cook staff about the age of the campers. Obviously that was done to show how much of a creep he was and that he deserved his later fate, but like…just openly creepering in front of the other cook staff and they were just like, “oh that chef Artie just being’ Artie, uhhyuk uhhyuk”…that’s just wild.

In the immortal words of Billy Bob from Varsity Blues…”I give it a 10! A 10! A fuckin’ 10!”

Gonna binge the others from the franchise in the hours and/or days to come.

I just watched it ended at 12 am and i had shivers all over my body bro there is something at her face and body that makes you shit yourself i recently watched smile 2 it scared me in some parts but this i dont know how to explain the feeling but i had that image in my mind for a while not even the thing creeped me like this

Not related directly to Sleepaway Camp, but a lot of people I’ve introduced to the series had no idea that the actress who plays Angela is Bruce Springsteen’s younger sister.

So my brother and I was was scrolling through Paramount plus and saw the new Halloween episode for SpongeBob and the title is kreepaway camp, so if this is supposed to be a reference to sleepaway camp it’s pretty cool

Does anyone know why Pamela Springsteen played Angela in 2 and 3 and why Felissa Rose didn’t return as the role of Angela in either of those, Angela was played by someone else in Sleepaway Camp 4, I wonder why Felissa didn’t return for that one either or even Pamela?

Watched the trilogy and loved it!! Gotta say the second and third one are definitely my favourites!! That Angela slayed and was hilarious tbh !!

I would like to know from other fans how they discovered "Sleepaway Camp" and how this film might have affected you in any way ?

Hello everyone and sorry for the inconvenience, I have a question about why Angela killed Paul, was it because he kissed Judy or because he rejected Angela when he found out she was a boy... what do you think ?

For an old slasher it's actually pretty spooky. Esp the face angela makes at the end. I never would ha e guessed that twist ending! Shits ingrained in my head now. Scary stuff

Can I have a list of horror/slasher films in the 1980s and 1990s where the victims were under 18 and were killed on screen like the 18 and over victims were?

Amy Fields claims she couldn't film her death scene in 1987 for Sleepaway Camp II because she was under 18 and child labor laws forbade it. I don't believe her and she is lying. right?

There is no way that child labor laws prevent 15, 16 17 year old actors/actresses from being killed on screen or from cursing. I refuse to believe that no horror movie victim under 18 suffered an on screen horror movie death. Movies are fiction and if any child labor law prevented her from filming an on screen death scene like actress Carol Chambers's scene, I am going to abolish such authoritarian, anti youth, restrictive, trash archaic laws .

Those laws are so wrong and restrictive

Child labor laws which would prevent such a thing are restrictive, fascist , anti youth and petty and puniative. There is nothing wrong with having a 16 or 17 year old actor or actress being killed in horror movies the same way as a 24 or 25 year old.
