SLEEPAWAY CAMP Collector’s Edition Unleashes For The First Time On Blu-ray MAY 27!
Get ready horror fans! Sleepaway Camp is finally making the jump to Blu-ray as a part of Scream Factory’s “Summer Of Fear”! This is one of my personally most anticipated releases of the year. I can’t wait to see what all new bonus features will be slicing their way onto this pristine new Blu-ray that features an all new 2K transfer of the film. It looks like the film is getting the trademark Scream Factory retrospective documentary as well. This is such a fun film with a total mindf**k of an ending, I can’t wait to dive back in and rejoin the little assholes of Camp Arawak! Below you’ll find all the dirty details (including 3! commentaries), and that lovely Amazon pre-order button. And you’ll want to get this one too, as I’m sure it will be another powerhouse release from the kings of vintage horror!

After a terrible boating accident killed her family, shy Angela Baker (Felissa Rose, Return To Sleepaway Camp) went to live with her eccentric Aunt Martha and her cousin Ricky.
This summer, Martha decides to send them both to Camp Arawak, a place to enjoy the great outdoors. Shortly after their arrival, a series of bizarre and violent “accidents” begin to claim the lives of various campers. Has a dark secret returned from the camp’s past…or will an unspeakable horror end the Summer season for all?

I can’t put into words how happy I am for this. Shout Factory is proving to be to Blu-ray what Anchor Bay was to DVD in it’s early days for horror fans. All of the releases I have from them (Halloween II & III, The Fog, Prince of Darkness, Day of the Dead) have been outstanding.
I imagine the commentary with Felissa Rose and Jonathan Tiersten will be a lot of fun. They interact with each other a lot on Facebook and Twitter, so it will be a blast to hear them talk about the movie in a commentary format.
That commentary is moderated by Justin Beahm, too. He’s pretty fantastic with those and provides plenty of research and great questions in his commentaries. He also keeps a great pace and never lets the conversation stop or die down. One of his best ones was on The Town That Dreaded Sundown where he had a case analyst and they went over evidence and had a full discussion of the real life situation the movie was based on.
As for Sleepaway Camp…its one of my top Blu-ray releases I’m anticipating for the the summer and year. Now if we could just get a double feature pack with parts 2 & 3…
