The song was called ANGELA BAKER AND MY OBSESSION WITH FIRE.  The movie is called "Nightmare Vacation" in the UK. Robert Earl Jones is father of James Earl Jones. -Thanks to Jeff VetranoMike Kellin sadly died the same year the film was relased due to cancer. -Thanks to Jeff VetranoWhen it came out, Sleepaway Camp was released in November of 1983 on 85 screens in and around New York. In that weekend it was the top-grossing movie, killing its horror competition Amityville 3-d and even outdoing Barbara Streisand's directional debut YENTL. The only recognizable actor I could find would be Christopher Collet, who later played in films "First Born" (as the older son of a woman involved with an abusive drug dealer), "The Manhattan Project" (as a bright highschool student who makes a working nuclear weapon for his science project) , "Prayer of the Rollerboys" (As the leader of a racist gang of rollerblading drug dealers), and "Stephen King's The Landoliers" (as a passenger that carries a violin case and pukes after beating up an arrogant, violent businessman). -Thanks to Laurent ÉCrivain« Click here to add some Sleepaway Camp trivia  Find much more great trivia in the filmmaker's commentary on the Sleepaway Camp DVD.Rediscover your favorites!

 Featured Movie Location: the campWanna see the real life filming location used for the camp in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at Summit Lake, located in Argyle, New York. [New! Show Google Map] As for the filming locations, Sleepaway Camp was filmed during the autumn season of 1982 on the land surrounding Summit Lake in Argyle, New York. The former Camp Algonquin was the setting used for the fictional Camp Arawak. Robert Hiltzik attended the camp as a boy and returned years later to direct his first film. When I visited in the summer of 2000, there were private homes surrounding the lake. It is private property, so I wasn't able to venture beyond the land surrounding the lake. Although I did see a cabin still standing after all those years, everything else has since been destroyed. Last I heard, developers wanted to erect a country club of some sort. But something went wrong. Thank god! The location used for Aunt Martha's House was chosen randomly by director Robert Hiltzik. I was also fortunate to visit the house, and took some pictures which can be seen on the website. The interior shots were actually filmed on a soundstage replica. The house is located in Glens Falls, New York. [Thanks to Carrie]
