Soundtrack
Sometime in 1999 I had a conversation with Frankie Vinci, the man responsible for the songs from Sleepaway Camp. He told me; Robert Hiltzik approached him to do the songs for Sleepaway Camp; He was given a copy of the script to read; He recorded all three songs in his own home on a 4-track and synthesizer; He does not have the original recordings.
SONG TRACKS
Edward Bilous is the man responsible for the instrumental music accompanying the death sequences and other crucial moments in the film. Edward Bilous was only 24 years old when he composed the SLEEPAWAY CAMP score. "I was sitting in a restaurant writing music when I was approached by someone, apparently a friend of Robert Hiltzik, who asked me if I was a composer. I told him I was and he asked if I would be interested in composing a film that was being made. I immediately said yes and that film was Sleepaway Camp." He was given Sleepaway Camp to watch and then composed the score in as little as two weeks, during which he says, "I wanted to create a sound world that was diseased. The mood was not just scary, but also sad and psychotic...so I wanted the score to reflect that by not just being weird and evil but psychotic and diseased." There is no official soundtrack for Sleepaway Camp. |
