(Nightmare Vacation)
Directed by: Robert Hiltzik
DVD Information
Anchor Bay
Back of Box:
Welcome to Camp Arawak,
where teenage boys and girls learn to experience the joys of nature, as well as each other. But when these happy campers
begin to die in a series of horrible 'accidents,' they discover that someone - or something - has turned their summer of fun
into a vacation to dismember. Has a dark secret returned from the camp's past...or will an unspeakable horror end the
season forever?
From its grisly special effects to the truly shocking climax,
SLEEPAWAY CAMP is no ordinary 'body count' movie. See for yourself why this killer thriller spawned two sequels and
became one of the most surprising horror hits of the '80s!
