Now this is interesting! A remake – and new franchise – of Sleepaway Camp might be around the corner! It’s also encouraging that Jeff Katz (the former New Line exec who helped bring Freddy Vs. Jason into focus) is involved, that guy seems to be passionate about horror and doing things the right way.

Per Deadline he’s “optioned remake rights from the original movie’s trio of makers and rights holders: Writer/director-turned-lawyer Robert Hiltzik, producer Michele Tatosian, and actress Felissa Rose, who starred in the 1983 pic as Angela, the bullied teen protagonist whose summer turns into a bloodbath when a killer begins offing campers.”

Hiltzik, Tatosian and Rose will produce alongside Katz, who apparently “aims to reboot the Sleepaway Camp mythos in a modern setting with a new film series that echoes its legacy and the psychosexual elements that made the first pic such a memorable cult favorite.”

That last sentence is the most encouraging of all! Let’s hope they can find a studio (or independent financier) that will let them keep it that way! More as this develops.

A remake wouldn't necessarily mean it'll be dolled up, kid friendly ABC Family garbage. Its certainly a possibility that it'll end up like that though. I kind of wish that it would take place in the 80s (without trying too hard to FEEL 80s, if that makes sense) and not a modern setting. After all, plenty of people bring their cellphones to camp and every camp I've ever been to had pretty good phone reception (shocker). Plus, teens are even more annoying now than they were back then, it seems, but I suppose that could help the film since a large chunk of the series revolves around people being obnoxious or total assholes to Angela - especially the first.

Then again, Berserk was supposed to be a thing and nothing has happened.

Maybe he'll get a ton of demands for it to leak. It's about time it will.

I wonder what Jonathan Tiersten thinks of this or if he'll have anything to do with it. :P

I'm not complaining if they keep the tradition of multiple women taking off their shirts. My inner perv will be happy.

I don't know why either. I hope something gets put out sooner or later.

I agree with all this. "Oh, someone is killing people? I'll just call the cops and it will all be over." Lol.

Well thats why I'd rather see Berserk. Since it was about rehabilitating bad kids its believable that all their cellphones would be collected, leaving them in deep shit when the blood spree begins.

God I want Berserk so bad.

Here's to hoping it's at least better than Return.

Same. If they get creative and do entirely different deaths, I wonder what will play out.

\I don’t think a remake is necessary. All this series needs is just a really good sequel. All the sequels have their charm, but I do admit they aren’t all that spectacular. RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP has some nice ideas, but I think it could’ve benefited from a second writer. No offense to Robert Hiltzik.

I’ve never written any Fan Scripts for this series, despite a couple ideas, however my intentions of one sequel would’ve been of a copycat killer, with only a cameo by Angela Baker at the film’s conclusion. This of course would set up a second film dealing with Angela and Ricky’s relationship, since I feel RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP wasted Ricky. It would’ve been interesting had he known of Angela and confronted her, and maybe even killed her, but of course to most fans Angela made this series.

A SLEEPAWAY CAMP remake might garner some new interest in the series, but it doesn’t guarantee revival of the franchise.

If I wrote a remake, I wouldn’t want it to be too similar, and because of how famous the ending is, that would probably have to be changed. One idea I considered is that Angela really does survive, and it’s Peter who dies in the boat accident. However Angela would not be raised as a transsexual, but suffers a split personallity in which she tends to believe she is Peter, and that he is the murderer. Think PSYCHO or the original FRIDAY THE 13TH. One disturbing idea I thought of was that Angela as a killer would wear a suit made of actual human skin to appear as a male.
