"Return to Sleepaway Camp"



According to Home Media Magazine, Magnolia/Magnet has announced Return to Sleepaway Camp for an October 14 DVD release.

The plot synopsis is as follows:

It's summer camp as usual at Camp Manabe where the kids torment each other for fun while the underpaid camp staff provides as little supervision as possible. Greedy camp owner Frank and junior partner Ronnie 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 two decades earlier. Has a ghost from the past come back to haunt him?

The original series from the 80's was good if cheesy fun. Hopefully, this continues that tradition although it can't be good that this was filmed way back in 2003 and isn't being released until now. I've heard of films sitting on the shelf or struggling to find distribution but that is just craziness.
