‘Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor’ Getting a “Final Cut” Blu-ray!
One of the big selling points for the Sleepaway Camp Survival Kit DVD box set, released in 2002, was a special bonus disc containing what was dubbed Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor. On the disc? About 30 minutes of production footage from an unfinished sequel, which would’ve been the fourth installment in the franchise.
More recently, Sleepaway Camp IV was finally finished with the addition of footage from the previous films, and then released onto both DVD and limited edition VHS.
Wikipedia explains the bizarre project…
“Filming began in October 1992 at Camp Tamarack in Oakland, New Jersey. Unfortunately Double Helix Films, the film’s production company, went bankrupt during this time, causing the production to shut down. Roughly 34 minutes of footage was shot before shut down. However, it was completed in 2012 by mixing the original footage with archive footage from the previous three films, and was given its own release.”
As reported by Sleepaway Camp Films over the weekend, The Survivor is now headed to Blu-ray in 2018, with the disc set to contain a new “Final Cut” of the film.
“The DVD is now on moratorium as we commence to completely recompile the movie, from the campground up!” they write. “The new edition will the “final cut”, be in hi-definition remastered quality and contain new extras. This long-lost sequel combined the original trilogy into one feature jam-packed with hidden easter eggs & revelations for the eagle-eyed hardcore fans – not to mention all 30 death scenes in a cavalcade of carnage, Angela-style!“
They add, “We’re looking to gauge interest so we can determine the number of copies we do for the run, so if this is something you’re interested in purchasing – LET US KNOW”
