- Sleepaway Camp star Felissa Rose just revealed via her MySpace blog that the long, long, long delayed Return to Sleepaway Camp is finally arriving on DVD this October.

"I was just told that will be out on DVD in October," she writes. "Sounds pretty good, from a reliable source. I will post more info as I receive it."

Directed by Robert Hiltzik, it's summer camp as usual at Camp Manabe where the kids torment each other for fun while the underpaid camp staff provide as little supervision as possible. Greedy camp owner Frank (Vincent Pastore) and junior partner Ronnie (Paul DeAngelo) 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 2 decades ago. Has a "ghost" from the past come back to haunt him?

Has anybody here seen Brutal Massacre?

its getting good reviews.....I may have to pick it up.

[Mr. Grady]

It's worth picking up - released today. The first watch will make you think that it is maybe 20 minutes too long, but it's one of those films where the more you watch it, you continue to laugh at it and pick up more stupid funny stuff. The cast is great. It would be classified as a "Horror Mockumentary"...
