The events of the first movie has become ghost story for the new campers. Angela got released and had her sex change operation. She returns to work as a senior counsellor at the camp.

The tits are probably the most noticeable aspects of this sequel. The story is not tense enough. There are a couple of fun kills. There is no shock value after the first movie. Angela is far from scary. She is closer to camp. It is interesting to tie the kills directly to misbehaving. It's odd to bring horror references from the big franchises. At least, that has a little fun. In a small aside, the campers need to have different colored shirts than the counsellors. The continuing lost of people is less than realistic. It should lead to a big chaotic climax. It's just a series of kills instead. At least, the little peepers get their dues. This has some camp value but it doesn't have much else.

Classic 80's horror slasher with ample nudity. The film has a number of classic lines along with the great "Happy Camper" song.

"Say No to Drugs."

"Nice girls don't have to show it off."

"Party hats at 2 o'clock."

"I would rather die first."

"What are you looking for a gun?...No a drill."

"Dead teenager's brains."

"Cute, but the blood looks like ketchup."

"I didn't want some crazy person to attack me."

Our killer has personality and a sense of humor. The film plays on the classic slasher theme that sex kills teenagers. You don't want to get sent home.

Available for free uncensored viewing at Viewstar with commercials.

Angela Baker (Pamela Springsteen) has undergone years of therapy, electro-shock and sexual reassignment surgeries, and finally landed herself a job in the last place she should be working -- Camp Rolling Hills.

How did this strange sequel come to be? It can be credited to one man. Producer Jerry Silva thought the first part was too dark, so he bought the rights to the franchise to give them more of a comedy angle. (Many see no connection between parts one and two due to Angela being recast, but those people are overlooking Silva.)

While one wishes Felissa Rose had taken this role, Pamela Springsteen (Bruce's sister) does a fine job. And while she may now be a successful photographer, horror fans will always recall her role in the "Sleepaway Camp" sequel. She seems to have distanced herself from the film, unfortunately.

The film is more campy humor (pun intended) rather than campy horror, especially with the Brat Pack references (not coincidentally connected to the fact Emilio Estevez's sister Renee is a main actress here). Some versions have more gore cut than others, and I believe Scream Factory has the most uncensored edition (while Anchor Bay had the most trimmed). Overall, the film is not even that bloody, though, and could probably have passed for PG-13 if Valerie Hartman was not taking her top off every five minutes.

The film is especially campy when some lines are delivered awkwardly, almost like a soap opera. This means either the actors involved were bad, not enough takes were made, or most likely both. Director Michael Simpson acknowledges the total shooting time was about two weeks and they could not afford to hire "real" actors.

Interestingly, while they were largely free of union rules, they had the Department of Labor looking over their shoulders to keep the child actors safe. Because it was delivered by a minor, one line strangely had to have the word "nips" changed to "party hats". Another actor needed a stunt double for a makeout scene, and a third could not be exposed to the violence of their character's death, so they could be involved with their death scene at all!

The film stands out for its 80s metal soundtrack, something that was not uncommon for horror films. Some, like "Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors", may be better known for their Dokken songs than their actual plots. The songs are not as iconic here, but have that same 80s metal edge that will put you in the right mood. Bonus points for including the Dead Milkmen. If I recall correctly, this was a year before their big break.

And keep your eyes peeled for Walter Gotell (playing Uncle John),the veteran actor from "The African Queen" and the James Bond franchise. How he sunk this low in his career is a mystery, but he adds just a hint of gravitas to the picture that no one else seems to be able to.

As they always do, Scream Factory has pulled all the stops for this release. The films come out in a DVD-BD combo pack, and are loaded with extras. Writer Fritz Gordon and director Michael Simpson offer an insightful commentary. There is also a lengthy documentary with interviews from just about everyone. A featurette exploring the locations. And even a short film called "Whatever Happened to Molly?" Unfortunately, Pamela Springsteen declined to be involved, but they make the best of it.
