We reported here a few months back that Robert Hiltzik's Return to Sleepaway Camp was finally back on track as they were adding new gore for the film, which was rumored to hit DVD this October (it's probably unlikely). Inside more details on the added gore were discovered, which is the type of stuff that'll make this something worth viewing. It's summer camp as usual at Camp Manabe where the kids torment each other for fun while the underpaid camp staff provide as little supervision as possible. Greedy camp owner Frank (Vincent Pastore) and junior partner Ronnie (Paul DeAngelo) do their best to keep everyone in line, but something sinister is about to put a slash in the roster. When campers and staff mysteriously begin disappearing and turning into gruesome corpses, paranoid Ronnie can't shake the memory of a series of grisly murders that took place at Camp Arawak where he worked 2 decades ago. Has a "ghost" from the past come back to haunt him?
From Fangoria:
“We’ve done a shot where a stake goes through somebody’s eyeball and comes out the back of his head,” Spears tells Fango. “There’s a shot where rats are eating out the inside of a torso, and today Pete and I are working on a skinned victim. I remember watching SLEEPAWAY CAMP and being terrified when I was a kid, and freaked out by the twist ending. It’s had a lasting impact, and since I’ve told a few people who are huge fans of it that I’ve been working on this project, they’re very psyched that it’s coming out. It’s an honor to be called in on a movie like this, which has the potential to be another cult favorite.”
“There are 14 scenes containing roughly 78 shots that we’re doing,” Thelia says, “and we’re really just getting going on that now. It’s a big task; there are four to six compositors plus myself working full-time.” The FX artist reveals one of the more spectacular gags he and his team will create: “There’s a scene in which one of the characters basically explodes; his eyes come popping out of his head, and his whole body is consumed in flames.”
“Innards flying everywhere, all that good stuff,” van Dell chimes in.
