Today we leave behind the summer heat of Texas and head to Washington County, New York to spend some time at Camp Arawak in this seminal summer camp slasher:
SLEEPAWAY CAMP
As iconic as it is controversial. Classic summer camp slasher. Excellent portrait of kids growing up and figuring themselves out. A case-study in bullying and abuse. A fun film with an unforgettable ending. This one's got it all!
We'll be joined by our special guest, transgender filmmaker, Katie, who brings a unique perspective to this classic. We'll talk about John Waters coded aunts, curling irons, the cruelty and crudeness of adolescence, frantic energy, sleazy camp workers, and gender expression and identity.
So don't miss this episode of STREAMING SCREAMS, because if you do, that won't do. Why, that won't do at all!
Note: We had some technical complications during the recording of this episode, so please excuse the sound quality.
