When it comes to summer camp movies, there are a few movies that immediately spring to mind. For comedy lovers, Meatballs might be the go-to. I’d put forward Addams Family Values as the best movie with summer camp scenes, but some might suggest Heavyweights or Moonrise Kingdom. Horror fans are almost certainly going to reflexively name Friday the 13th as their first choice, but here will be a subset that instead goes with Sleepaway Camp.
If you’ve seen this movie, you know why this is the case. If you haven’t seen this movie, you’ve almost certainly heard of its reputation. For me, Sleepaway Camp has been a whole in my viewing history, and for a horror fan, one of the biggest holes I’ve had. And, honestly, I can’t say it lived up to the hype until the last few moments. Again, if you know the movie, you know what I mean.
