SEE YOU NEXT MONDAY FOR A NEW EPISODE OF 80'S HORROR MEMORIES!

With so many camp slashers to choose from, a film really had to be something special to stand out from the pack. Writer/director Robert Hiltzik’s 1983 camp slasher SLEEPAWAY CAMP was something special. It delivered the murder and mayhem viewers went in expecting. Then it lodged itself in their minds with an ending no one saw coming. Unlike most slashers of the time, it managed to spawn a franchise, giving the horror genre a new icon. Angela Baker. In this episode of 80s HORROR MEMORIES, we’re looking back at SLEEPAWAY CAMP to see how Hiltzik defied the odds, started a franchise, and shocked the audience.
