Sleepaway Camp (1983)

Gabrus talking about Brandon Dicamillo's Chinese Freestyle is one of those colliding worlds-moments I cherish. CKY was my favorite band for years. The CKY videos don't hold up as well for me but there's still a bit of nostalgic appeal for me. Side note Sleep away Camp was Deron Miller's (singer of CKY) favorite movie years before he ever met and married Felissa Rose. Which is a very sweet and romantic story even though Deron himself is a shady character these days.

Aw man, I use the toothpick in my Swiss army knife... I am a monster, I know

Hell yeah!

Beef Toobin is def related to Jeff Toobin

Rodger's dad's story of refusing to go to a canadian hospital broke my heart. We were raised by people who were raised by people who grew up in the Great Depression. An ambulance ride in BC for a non-citizen will run you about 1k CAD. 80$ for a citizen and if you don't pay it, it just comes off your tax return. No credit bureau

Makes me laugh to think about all the guys who thought there would be more nudity and considering how the sequel opens like a plea to keep watching I'd say there were A LOT of them.

I’m probably alone in this, but damn Mel reminded me a lot of Buddy Rich

Met Felissa Rose at a convention last year. Sinister Creature Con in Sacramento. She was extremely nice & super fun. She’ll talk to you all day. Her latest filmography is pretty fun. She’s great in Victor Crowley & Stalked by my Doctor 4

I was in Cub Scouts throughout elementary school and we always did camp every summer, but it was just a day camp. The only kids who stayed over night were the Boy Scouts. The camp grounds we used in Covington, Georgia were the location of Crystal Lake in Friday the 13th part 6: Jason Lives.

No problem with a Gerber. They’re good multitools. For a pocket knife I’d go for Benchmade.

Dear God. What an utterly demented "film". From the sleazy pedophile chef to the scumbag Mel planning to go on a date with a teenager, this movie had a sleazy streak a mile wide. It was also quite stilted and campy (sorry) in it's tone. Maybe the most interesting thing about it was how realistic it was about the kids swearing at each other and acting like arseholes. It's a slasher flick as outsider art.

I lost it at the cooked pedo's continuous screaming when they rolled him off on the stretcher. I almost wish they'd kept it playing in the background throughout the rest of the scene when Mel was talking with the kitchen staff.

I watched the sequels yesterday and they’re all missing the unintentional weirdness and it makes them bad. There’s so much like weird framing and angles. Ron just doing lateral raises center frame in the background during two others having a conversation

I prob took two shits my entire time at high school

sucks to hear about the shake ups at Headgum, is it gonna affect Zombie Squad video shoots? Casey is the honorary 4th boy at this point

Hell to the yes!!!! *Sings Eddie Money* "Waited so long....I got two tickets to Paradise!"

As a kid, I just assumed people on the East Coast never went to camp (we just call it "camp" on this side)

What bar in Jacksonville beach? I live here I'm putting my money on Mango's! 😁

Gabrus is spot on. Angela is hung

Showing a girl absolutely terrified to be water skiing is a strangely powerful way to start a movie.

The actor that took over Angela's role in the sequels is actually Bruce Springsteen's niece, making this series even more tri-state than it already is.

The guy who played Mel, Mike Kellin,is a great "that guy" if you watch a lot of old, mostly New York based films like "Lonelyhearts" or "The Incident"

Hmm wonder what frame they'll use for the thumbnail

I need the Boyz to remake with Ben as Mel, Stanger as Buff Counselor, & Gabrus as Ricky. Imagine Rodgers holding back Gabrus as he yells “THOSE COCKSUCKERS NEED TO LEAVE MY COUSIN ALONE”

I grew up in West Chester PA and went to the CKY2K premiere - most of that stuff was filmed around town, which makes it really entertaining time capsule.

Was blown away with how real the camp and the kids felt in this film, a far departure from the normal horror camp movie vibes.

Oh my god, the kid in the flipped canoe! The way he talks when he’s under there cracks me up every time! Beautiful acting!

I saw this movie when I was 11 years old. That same summer I saw My Girl. It was a summer of bees and coming of age. Anyways...

The councilor slapping Judy after her flat as a board and needs a screw scene should be studied in film school.

Hey ABZ. Since it's Octooky, I wanted to shout out this weird indie family film from 1996 called Frankenstein and Me, which aired on the Disney Channel like twice. It's about a monster-obsessed kid who finds Frankenstein's monster left behind by a carnival and tries to bring it to life. He has fantasies inspired by 60's and 70's Hammer horror films. It's not a good movie, but it notably stars Burt Reynolds as the kid's dad, Louise Fletcher as a teacher and Ryan Gosling in his first feature-length role. You can find it on YouTube and there's at least one upload with 90s commercials intact.

Logen Ninefingers would of loved all the knife talk on this ep

Gabrus would play Artie, Rodgers is mustache cop, Stanger is the lifeguard? Are we still doing that bit?

According to the old reddit thread I looked at and no further research, the mom dedication at the beginning is because the movie was funded in part by an insurance settlement from the director's mother's death.

I've seen this thing like 4 times, but always programmed somewhere around the middle of an all-night marathon. It's just a perfect pick for these. Everyone loves revisiting it, it's hilarious for people who have never seen it, it provides laughs but feels completely earnest in its weirdness, and it has a strange power to pull an audience together and get them energized for whatever comes next.

Felissa Rose is from Syosset. Weirdly high concentration of famous people who are from this random ass Long Island town. Judd Apatow. Idina Menzel. Sue Bird (though she transferred from Syosset High School to Christ the King to play hoops).

Another week in the Banana Republic of America (Val Verde North). The USA’s running 1929, 1933, “1984”, 1987, 1999, and 2008—all in one go. Truly impressive. Hell, toss in Y2K too—why not?

“Eat shit and live, Bill” is one of the best line-reads (and comebacks) ever. Flawless delivery.

Anyone in search of a another good horror movie should watch The Autopsy Of Jane Doe, starring Brian Cox: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3289956/?ref_=ext_shr
