038 - Sleepaway Camp (1983) & Summer Camp (2015) →

CW: Attempted sexual assault of a minor; Potentially inflammatory horror trope involving an ostensibly trans person (Sleepaway Camp)

It's Summer Camp Week at Pod Sematary - that time when parents send their kids away so they can finally get some peace and quiet.

First up, Chris & Kelsey get very excited for Sleepaway Camp from 1983, a cult classic with a shocking and controversial twist ending. Go for a canoe ride and see the water snakes! Interact with the local wildlife! See if you can get a bullseye on the archery range! Enjoy our hot showers! And get to know our kind and responsible staff, like Ronnie (and his dick)!

Then it's briefly on to a bad movie with bright spots of ingenuity (or a good movie with stupid moments?), 2015's exhilaratingly titled Summer Camp! It does some cool stuff, but is that enough to save it from mediocrity?
