Four Summer Camp Slashers That You'll Never Forget!

Sleepaway Camp (1983)... A great example of a fun Summer Camp slasher film!

Summer Camp, a time for young men and women to get a taste of the great outdoors, to run, to play... And even in some cases, for a boy or girl to find his or her's first love... That is the sappy hallmark version of it... But we fright fans know how Summer Camps can become a, 'bloody' good time... Don't we?

That's right folks, where as it is true that the whole summer camp experience is generally a time for kids on summer vacation to have fun in the great out doors, Hollywood has turned this time honored tradition in to mayhem and bloody violence, with some of the most famous slasher movies of all time being set in and around the Summer Camp setting...

So I thought that you guys might enjoy these Five Summer Camp Slashers That You'll Never Forget!

At number 4: Friday The 13th (1980):

This counselor will never forget his Camp experience!

 Friday The 13th (1980)... Now here is a classic example of a great Summer Camp slasher, you see this movie has it all, an unsuspecting group of soon-to-be camp counselors who went up to Camp Crystal Lake to help Steve Christy (The owner of the summer camp,) re-open the camp... Little do they know, a former counselor is ready to take out her anger on a new generation of counselors!

With number 3: Sleepaway Camp (1983):

How would you like to have her in your Summer Camp?

 You might be wondering why I mentioned this twice? Well the truth is, is I kind of had to... I had no choice... I mean i was compelled to do so, because in all honesty, this movie is not only a great 80s Summer Camp slasher, but in all honesty, and in a lot of respects, this movie helped set the tone for a lot of the the 80s Summer Camp slasher movies out there!

Next up, at number 2: Friday The 13th Part 2 (1981):

Just when you thought it would be safe to go back to Camp!

Following in the same vein with Friday The 13th (1980), I thought that I would mention part 2 primarily because in all honesty, the two movies just fit perfectly! Don't get me wrong, I mean the rest of the series fits in with these 2 movies as well, but the truth is, is the first two movies, when they came out, the series was new, and so the story hadn't started to get watered down yet...

And with number 1, we have: The Burning (1981):

It looks like Cropsy is about to come out and play!

Now this one is one that my buddy over at AwesomeBMovies.com, Matt Dowling, told me about... This one was actually kind of a fun and interesting story, about a group of kids that accidentally torch a camp caretaker in the past, and years later it looks like he might have come back to get revenge on the campers currently enjoying there experience at the camp that he used to work at!

Another interesting thing is that famous actors: Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) and, Holly Hunter (The Firm) play roles in this movie, early in their careers!
