Here’s an exciting bit of news, via ON SET CINEMA’s Kenny Caperton: this summer, you’ll have the opportunity to travel to Argyle, New York to catch a screening of 1983’s slasher/cult classic Sleepaway Camp at the very camp where it was filmed!
Here’s how they’re describing the event…
“Join ON SET CINEMA in Argyle, New York this Summer where Camp Arawak once stood for a very special screening event for the 1983 slasher cult classic Sleepaway Camp! Nearly the entire movie was filmed at this location. They will be doing 2 back-to-back events – Monday, June 19th & Tuesday, June 20th, 2023.
Fans will enjoy an entire day at the former camp – there will be swimming and kayaking in the lake where a ton of scenes in the movie took place (watch out for Kenny’s body), a filming locations walking tour, a screening of the movie where the infamous Angela ending took place and overnight tent camping to get the full Sleepaway Camp experience!”
Swimming, kayaking, a walking tour of filming locations, overnight tent camping and a screening of Sleepaway Camp at the site of movie’s most memorable location? We’re already loading the graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars into our backpacks (along with a sharp knife or two, just in case). What a fun event for fans of this unforgettable slasher!
If you’re interested in attending, you can learn more here, but do be aware that only 30 slots will be available during each day of this event! In other words, you can get while the getting’s good by snagging your tickets directly here (oh, and if you do go, please send us some pics, we’ve already got FOMO)!
