Ur Welcome.....poster has questions related to this:
@MartyMcFly @Jello Biafra @BXKingPin82
@storyteller @morris
Taken from this post - Cult Classic: Sleepaway Camp [ SPOILER ALERT ]

I've got some answers, but the first question is: Why is that shyt in the locker room? This is the film room. shyt needs to be posted here.

A lot of those answers @m0rninggl0ry are simply based in the director having no idea what he was doing and just throwing shyt against the wall. The movie doesn't hold up when you start analyzing stuff, like how homie doesn't realize his cousin is a boy. It's a trashy movie made in New Jersey for little to no money. It's an awesome "fun" horror flick but yeah lol it wasn't helmed by a guy who really understood what the hell he was doing or going for.

I stopped even counting endings like that Freddie one because they're so damned out of place. Daps to the heads that shared the Overlook explanation, I always went with the second theory "the overlook had claimed him" ish.

I still come up with different interpretations for the end of the Babadook whenever I run that ish back.

i honestly dont know what to think of this.

SleepAway Camp (1983)



One of the most shocking endings in horror movie history. I knew Anglea had something to do with the killings but had no clue that ...

Because hinsight is always 50-50, my questions are the following:


1. Why was it okay for the cook to make sexual references and jokes about the children at the camp? Like everyone knew he was a pedophile and thought it was funny. @ 10:00

2. Was there a reason why Angela cut off ol boys head at the end? He was actually good to her.

When the camp counselors found Angela with the severed head, why were they more shocked that Angela was actually a boy than the the severed head?


And why was she making that demonic sound?

@1:18:38

3. Aunt Martha was a delusional tramp. She dressed her surviving nephew as a girl. So with that begging said, is she the root to all of the madness


4. Speaking of madness, how did Ricky not know that Angela was his male cousin?!? @ 4:55-7:19


Full movie posted below:



@Nicole0416 thanks

1. It was the 1980s...shyt like that and comedy rape (Revenge of the Nerds) was seen as no biggie back then

2. Angela was going to kill everyone in that camp if she could have; They had already seen a grip of dead bodies so a girl camper having a penis was new shocking; Because it made an already creepy scene even creepier

3. Aunt Martha nurtured Angela into the raging psychopath she became.

4. Aunt Martha probably kept them separated in any situations where he could have found out about Angela being a boy

SleepAway Camp (1983)

...

thanks

I think the answers to most of these questions (why does she cut her crush's head off, why does she make that weird noise and stare with her open mouth like that, why is camp atmosphere weird to a significant level) align closer to the overall shock value of the weirdness rather than any narrative logic behind their existence. The movie shows a lot of influence from more polished euro-horror, especially with those abstract flashbacks to her upbringing. Those movies from which Sleepaway Camp was inspired used a lot of oddities to creep the audience out just for the sake of it.

To me it's always more effective when things are kept unexplained. There's always a scarier conclusion in your mind, rather than hearing the authority of the filmmaker explain it. Nowdays the horror directors who get big budgets (Ari Aster, Luca Guadagnino) take the attempts at auteurism too far and lose sight of the sweet spot that their movies could have found. Both of their movies could have been great movies if they had stuck to the one goal instead of pushing their genre film too deep in to the waters of drama.

Lmao his crazy ass got consumed by the hotel.

"Mr. Grady...you WERE the caretaker here. "

"Terribly sorry to differ with you sir, but YOU are the caretaker. You've ALWAYS been the caretaker. I should know...I've ALWAYS been here. "

There aint a better Stephen King adaptation.

Stephen king disagrees with that. Very very much lol. He was just on Eli Roth’s AMC horror show and said the shining is like a beautiful restored Cadillac with no engine in it
