This second edition softcover of Sleepaway Camp: Making the Movie and Reigniting the Campfire contains over 100 new bonus pages of content and behind-the-scenes photos for the cult classic sequels Sleepaway Camp II and III.

Author Jeff Hayes: “After the release of the hardbound edition, fans worldwide contacted me who loved the info about the original film but were asking additional questions about the sequels. So, 1984 and I thought fans would appreciate a deep dive into the sequels as bonus content for the second edition. I started with screenwriter Michael Hitchcock (of Christopher Guest, Glee, and Bridesmaids fame), who created Angela's path forward in parts 2 and 3. Michael and I completed a series of extensive interviews that included character motivations, deleted scenes, creative kills, budgetary adjustments, inside jokes, and more! I also interviewed (and included personal behind-the-scenes photos) from fan favorite Brian Patrick Clarke (‘T.C.’), Mark Oliver (‘Tony’), Daryl Wilcher (‘Riff’), Carol Chambers and Amy Fields (‘The Shit Sisters’), Kim Wall (‘Cindy’), Kendall Bean (‘Demi’), FX creator Bill ‘Splat’ Johnson, and more. It’s the most extensive look at the sequels to date.”

The second edition concludes with a new interview with designer and actor Loris Diran, who played Billy in the original Sleepaway Camp. Diran, a member of the LGBT community, offers readers a unique take on the original iconic film, its aftermath, and its personal impact on him.

Longtime official Sleepaway Camp webmaster, writer, and filmmaker Hayes wrote the additional pages between Fall, 2023 and Spring, 2024.
