Company: Anchor Bay Entertainment
the Scoop: Anchor Bay, who previously released the original Sleepaway Camp on DVD and VHS, also put out a box set. The packaging resembles a medical kit and is appropriately called, "SURVIVAL KIT" which originally bore the red cross logo. Not soon after, The Amercian Red Cross forced Anchor Bay to recall the sets featuring the copyrighted symbol resulting in a reissue with diffrent artwork.
The box set includes the original Sleepaway Camp DVD, which was previously released as mentioned before, Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers, Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland, and a special bonus disc featuring the production footage for the unfinished Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor, which is only available at Best Buy.
The set also comes with a 16 page booklet, with nothing more than retrospectives for each film. Each DVD has an insert with a replica of the original theatrical poster. Loaded with extras, and hidden goodies, and now a collector's item due to the red cross controversy, any fan would not be dissapointed with this set.
Release Date: March 24 2004
Company: Anchor Bay Entertainment UK
the Scoop: Jeff Hayes announced on his website that this box set would include the original uncut Sleepaway Camp taken straight from Robert Hiltzik's master copy. However, recently it was announced by Klyza on his website that Hiltzik's copy was so damaged from being played at all those festivals and conventions that it wasn't up to the transfer onto DVD. Therefore, there is no uncut Sleepaway Camp for the UK box set as originally planned. This box set includes everything in the two previous box sets.
