| Q: |
|
Does RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP pick-up after the events of SLEEPAWAY CAMP III: TEENAGE WASTELAND?
|
|
| A: |
|
No, it is a direct sequel to the original SLEEPAWAY CAMP.
|
|
| Q: |
|
Why does RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP ignore the events of SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2 and 3? |
|
| A: |
|
SLEEPAWAY 2 and 3 were NOT written by SLEEPAWAY creator Robert Hiltzik (Although some of the murders used in 2 and 3 were based on a script he had written in 1986). Hiltzik did not like the direction that the sequels went in. He felt that they "copped out" on the original story... WAIT, before you get all defensive, keep in mind that Robert created SLEEPAWAY CAMP and he wanted RETURN to continue HIS original "Sleepaway Camp" story and execute it the way that he envisioned a sequel to SLEEPAWAY CAMP should go.

| Q: |
|
Why didn't Hiltzik make SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2?
|
|
| A: |
|
Robert did indeed write a script for SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2 back in 1986. He had a meeting with producer Jerry Silva shortly thereafter. Silva wanted to turn "Angela's" exploits into a humor-laced horror-franchise, following in Freddy's footsteps with the success of "Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors". Robert was not interested in going in that direction. In fact, his first draft of SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2 did not even contain any of the characters from the original. It was another slasher who-done-it set at a different camp. As discussions ensued, Robert ultimately decided not to pursue the project, as he and his wife decided to begin a family. He signed over the rights for SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2 and 3 to be made without him and those 2 projects went to director Michael A. Simpson.

| Q: |
|
Is it true that RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP has 4 different endings?
|
|
| A: |
|
Yes and No. 4 different endings were indeed written and the cast members all got different scripts. Ultimately, only 1 of these 4 endings will be the FINAL CUT.

|
| Q: |
|
There is no way Ricky would go back to camp as a counselor after what happened to him. Why is he a counselor?
|
|
| A: |
|
He's not. Whoever said he was a counselor? Ricky is indeed part of the story and when you see the movie, your question will be answered.
