I am 59 years old and when I was ages 8, 9 and 10, I went to this YMCA camp which in those days was known as 'Camp Waco'. I stumbled on this video with a Google search hoping to find and maybe revisit my old Summer camp but I can see it has now long since become over-grown. But I clearly remember a lot about this camp as a kid in 1966, 67 and 68. That is 20 years before the movies. Let me share a little. If you were standing at the pool, on the side and if the main building was in front of you, to your left was a large field. That was the archery field. The camp cabins were on the small hills to your right. There were three clusters of cabins, divided by age groups, all boys for a few weeks, then all girls on other weeks. The clusters of cabins, maybe 5-7 cabins in a cluster had names. One cluster was 'Whips' which was for the younger boys and then 'Wagon Wheels' for the older boys. I don't recall the third clusters name. The main building was the chow hall, as a kid the hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, biscuits, sweet tea and kool-aide were all that we needed. Potato chips and potato salad was also served. Camp counselors were all guys in their 20s. There were cool ones and then the not so cool dorky ones but we all got along. The adventure was all about learning crafts and about nature. The woods were full of poison ivy AND sassafras. If a counselor showed you what sassafras looked like, you could pick it and take it down to the chow hall and the cooks would make you and your cabin sassafras tea to have with lunch or dinner. If you opted in for fishing at the lake that was behind the main building, and if you caught a catfish, again you could take it up to the chow hall and one of the cooks would cook it for your lunch. Between the back side of the main hall and the lake were the trampolines. Large in-ground trampolines, I think there were three, it could have been two, but they were big professional size and you could really get up on one. The canoes were kept on the shore to the left of the dock as you face the lake with the main building behind you. The 'bridge' that can be seen to the right of the dock and on the other side of the lake was actually a foot path/bridge that lead to the riffle range. Yes...in those days the YMCA children's camp had .22 caliber riffle ranges and we learned to shoot at targets about 50 yards back in those woods after the end of that bridge beyond the rock wall that can be seen in the movies. Again, standing at the pool, main building in front of you the chow hall was on the right side, the arts and crafts center was the screened in portion on the left side. In that place I remember three years in a row I made a woven neck lanyard and we also learned wood burning with electric wood burning sets. Behind you, as you face the front of the building was the pool, the flag pole, and the car turn around, the road into the camp came up the right side, cross in front of the main building where you let your kids out (or you got off the big yellow bus) and then you exited the camp down the left side of the pool, as you face the main building. There was also a horse stable and riding ring on the road into camp, it was on the right as you drive into the camp, maybe 100+yards from the camp where the pool and building was. It was a walk/drive up the hill from the stable to get to the camp. They had about 10 horses, one I remember was called 'Red' or 'Big red' he was as you might have guessed, the largest horse, he was red, but he was a great ride. That was the first time I ever rode a horse. Before the horse stable, on your way into the camp was another place that was called 'Bobcat Ridge'. This was about 100+ yards before the stable on the right, down a bit of a dirt road/path. This was like a miniature grand canyon for kids, we played Army tag and had camp-outs under the stars there. We learned how to gather firewood, cook over an open fire, there was sit-around the fire with scary stories and guitar music all provided by camp counselors. I can still remember most of the scary story called "The Red Death". We had pocket knives and carved and whittled and nobody even thought about doing anything except carving with them. We would sit around and compare knives, the cool ones were official boy scouts of America or cub scouts of America units. Back when the boy and cub scouts could carry knives and well, it was like standard issue in those days. There was another place called 'slippery rock' which as a hike away from camp. I don't remember the exact path but, the trail head was at the back where the cabins were. So if at the pool, you would walk up the hills to your right to the cabins, walk to the back of the clusters and follow a trail back to slippery rock. It was about a 15-20 minute walk through the woods. And slippery rock was a cool stream with a huge long sloping down rock with a pool at the bottom. So we would slide down the rock on our butts and splash into the pool and we did it for hours. And get this, we did it naked! Yes, young naked boys with 20 something counselors overseeing us for hours running around totally naked and busting butts down the rock into the pool on hot Summer days. It was some of the most fun that I have ever had in my entire life. And again, there was never any fear of any perversion or any awareness that what we were doing was taboo or forbidden. We just did it and it was a total blast. After hours and hours of splashing slipping and sliding we just gathered up our clothes and marched back to camp. We did all these things all three of the years I went. One big memory that I have was of the parent/camper gathering that was always held on the last day of camp. All the parents were invited to come pick up their kids and it was a big outdoor picnic with games and swimming and BBQ out doors, free soda (no alcohol) and tours of the camp for the parents. So there were kids walking their parents around, Moms and Dads shooting arrows on the archery range, in canoes on the lake, on the trampoline, in the pool...it was great. The camp Master's name was Bob Orr. On parents day he would walk around and joke and laugh with all the parents, tell them how nice it was to have 'little Johnny' as their guest, that Johnny was a great kid (because he always was)...it was like a chapter from the 'Leave it to Beaver' show frankly. And it was or is a good memory. Then it happened! 'Little Johnny' thought it would be cool, really cool to pull Master Bob's pistol out of his holster while he wasn't expecting him to...so he did! Master Bob totally kept his cool though and he got little Johnny to hand him back his pistol. Well I got to now tell you that pistol was like dirty Harry's magnum 45. Bob took a cinder block that happened to be near by, told little Johnny to stand behind him and right then and there Camp Master Bob Orr unloaded a round from the magnum into that block that totally disintegrated into dust and rubble. And with little Johnny standing there dumb-founded, Camp Master Bob told him politely that guns were a serious thing and that he should never 'play' with on and he should never ever just grab one away from anyone. And that was that...everyone just went back to BBQ, kool-aide and swimming. I'll never forget that moment in time, right there at the pool, under that flag pole flying the American flag proudly and in front of the chow hall where I had my first glass of sassafras tea and a catfish dinner that I caught in that lake. It's sad to see how the place has fallen apart, closed down and how it is returning to nature and overgrown now. But that was now 50 years ago when I was there and time has gone by, a lot of time. Guess those memories can only be captured or re-captured in my memories. So I dedicate this to my good friend Perry Millikan that went with me two years in a row to camp Waco, and to counselor 'Jim' who was one of the cool guys.
Wow..someone who was there when I was!! You probably remember Coach "Coke" Clark and Jimmy King who were the athletic director and head counselor. I was there in the summer of 1967...Wagon Wheels 4. My neighbor down the street, Brad Roberts, who was a year younger than me was in Whips. My cabin had about 10 other boys in it...all of them from a foster home for boys...some of them were abandoned boys...one kid had polio as a baby and was in crutches. They were a wild bunch...and one took advantage of me because I came from a stable nuclear family...which very few of them had. My only friend was the boy with polio...and no one would bother him in his crutches!! Our counselor was a guy named Sandy....played a guitar..his family was in politics in NC I think, because he had photos of him with Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Sandy used to sing us a song about a girl in a red coffin who was buried just past Bobcat Canyon....and when we went on a hike...sure enough, we ran into a abandoned cemetery....and a tombstone over the grave of a teenaged girl who died in 1890. The reason there was a canyon at the camp is that before the YMCA had it...it was originally a WWI and WWII training center for the US Army. Those barracks with the steel girders and corrugated steel sheets was a firing range...and the canyon was carved out by cannon and mortar shell artillery training fire. The video didn't show it...but the girls barracks was on the other side of the camp headquarters...down a steep road...and beyond that was the abandoned YMCA Explorer camp for teenagers. It closed sometime in 1965... I have posted a comment about Camp Waco on Facebook...the Atlanta page...so to see who might know the name of the third village after Whips and Wagon Wheels.
Thank you to the makers of this video! I went to this camp in '83 and I wish I could have been out there with you, though it is sad to see it in its current state. The signs on the cabins in the movie were there when it was a camp as well. Each cabin was named after a Native American tribe. I didn't know until recently that it had been the scene for horror movies, but I think it is fitting. At some point the lake flooded a forgotten grave. We would sometimes paddle to the far side of the lake to have a look at the coffin clearly visible a couple feet below the surface of the water. Everybody knew it was there and the counselors warned us not to disturb it.
I went to Camp Waco from 74' through 79'. It was a two week camp for type 1 diabetics hosted by the American Diabetes Association. The week prior to the diabetic camp, it was Camp Easter Seals and all the campers and some counselors were special needs youth. There is (or was) a two plot Confederate grave site somewhere deep in the property and the lake was built on top of a cemetery. On the far side of the lake, there was a casket you could see about three feet under the water angled up in a tilt....no joke. It was a great facility back in the day and made for great memories for lots of kids. Alas, kudzu in Georgia shows no mercy. Thanks for sharing!
mak4minecraft I appreciate that, thanks! It was fun, very fun indeed. Be sure to watch my version of this location on my page. It's no where near the amazingness of Adam's video but it's fun to watch...
That is so weird that the pool is basically a pond now. Did you know that Pamela Springstein was in an episode of The Facts of Life? I think it was the episode where Tootie is obsessed with Jermaine Jackson. It startled me to suddenly see "Angela." lol
This was totally awesome... exact locations of scenes from these 2 movies! The way you carefully edited those scenes in with how they look today is just magical to a horror movie buff like myself. I especially liked the late 70's and pretty much all of the 80's horror flicks, and this being two of them that I have indeed seen before, makes it even more cool. Thanks Adam and Tyler. Special thanks to Tyler since he somehow found out where all this was in the middle of the Georgia woods. If you are allowed to do so, I would love to know which city this is in... wouldn't go to the same location though; especially after the hunting grounds warning.
stot2614 Thanks for the shout out. As for where the camp is located, It's in a small town called "Waco" in Waco,Georgia, near the Alabama/Georgia border. It's right off of exit 9 on i20 west/east. I appreciate the thanks though because I worked my butt off to find this location. Took me months to find it!
My brother and I found camp waco around 1999 early 2000s but had been living right down the road from it since 1992. We toured everything shown in your videos when they were still standing. The flag pole was there for along time. We fished that lake so much and slid down the spill way from the lake to the creek. underneath the chow hall was a poem written in the shape of a swan on water I had pictures of all of it for awhile and lost them all very cool place. And the swimming pool had huge gold fish it it
As a HUUUUUGE fan of the Sleepaway Camp trilogy, I absolutely LOVE this!!!! SO cool!!! I love how you incorporated scenes from the movie and how it looks then and now!! I cannot BELIEVE the "death cabin" is still there and you got to see it live!! SO jealous! And that fire pit where "The Shit Sisters" were burned! OMG this was so awesome!!
@@shaneslikker9013 alot of horror movies are actually shot in places that look like there abandoned, but they hire construction workers to build things they can use. i would imagine there probably wasn't much to the place to begin with, but they make for a excellent location for a horror film.
Excellent video. Loved how you edited it together for us. I've seen the movies a couple of times, but I wouldn't have realized where you were and which shots you were referring to without it. On a side note, it's sad to see these places like this. They're part of the 80's, my favorite decade. As time keeps on trucking, these places are like forgotten stops along the way as you look forward to your destination. :(
Killer job, Adam. You really put a lot of effort into making these videos great - finding all the locations and matching them up to the film. It's really fun to watch. So thank you. Keep up the good work!
Hi Adam. I’m having a hard time sleeping tonight, so I started marathoning some of your earlier videos. I never saw the horror filming location videos that you recorded. They are awesome. I watched three of the Friday the 13th vids, and now I’m checking out the Sleepaway 2/3 location. Very cool man. I’m hope you are doing good ✌🏻
GREAT work you guys👍 It's amazing though how FAST! almost everything disappears...LOVE that pool & the footage you spliced it with---I'm doing one right now of 19 classes horror movies all into one beginning with Nosferatu in Wismar & Lubek, Germany and then on from there... I'll keep you posted but again GREAT work---hope to see some more...
That was cool, I like it when you go to forgotten places. It is so strange seeing all that all that growth, just like when you went to the Bert Renoldes place. Keep Up the good work.
Thanks Adam! Happy Halloween! Watching you after midnight on Halloween night. Having fun spending it during this vid! By the way, The Abandoned Cabin scene.........the one with the stone staircase and the two nails and the two girls, Poison Ivy growing right up that place.
Even though I graduated high school in the 80s I was never a horror movie fan so I don't know of these films. That's why I liked how you included clips of the movie to match the actual location. I thought this vlog was quite enjoyable. Two thumbs up! 👍👍
I used to hang out with my buds here back in the 90's its an old abandoned YMCA camp thats 5 miles from where i live...It was pretty grown up the last time i was there but the cabins "which had some graffiti left by the actors were still intact..The pool was full of trash & debri but the common room/dining hall was an awesome place to skateboard as kids had built some ramps & stuff to ride on..There was a wooden bridge that went over part of the lake that you had to cross over to get to the pool/dining hall that was missing boards and was a generally creepy ass place! Especially after being potted up on the kind!! Lol,Good to see its still there!
Adam I have been subscribed to you for ever I mean it is awesome that scream factory picked you for the filming locations of part 2 and 3 of Sleepaway camp
adam and tyler awesome vid u guys! loved those movies and getting to see remnants of the camp and some of it still intact and there at least was amazing! if u guys ever need a tag along or ever go back hit me up. keep up the good vids!
Guys be careful. Old buildings are so dangerous and unpredictable. Mold, wood rot, termite damage, rusty nails... (shivers). My father was a real estate inspector and I have been in some scary places. Just be careful. Love your channel!
Who what that place once use to look like!!! That pool and camp is insane how nature took over all the years like that! Very cool video That water tower is something else with that tree growing though it
Hey Adam great video on The Sleepaway Camp locations. You mentioned the box set with the red cross sign on the box. I own it in my movie collection. I have a collection of over 28,000 movies mostly horror which I love. I love your you tube page, keep up the good work.
Love the vid, you go into so much detail and show the footage to go along. Great job, only small criticism might be that you said "actually" a lot, but still loved it!
i actually have the sleepaway camp box set, i've had it for years, it also has the dvd of the making of the a part 4 ..but unfortuntely i don't think it was every made
Adam, do you ever take souvenirs from your location visits or do you leave everything as is? If you do, what would be your favourite piece of horror movie location history?
At my time (quite a few years back) these movies were toppin. I love this kind of stuff. I live in S.F and we have seen a few interesting locations also. Including Bodega Bay Ca. where The Birds was filmed. I have actually eaten at The Tides Restaurant. Now completely different than it was in the film. Thank ..
Very cool. It is surprising to see the bldgs in such a state of disrepear. I know it's been since the late 80's when the films were made, but there are examples of bldgs from then or even before that were in better shape in other vids. You would think dwellings would hold up a little better despite the years of neglect. Was this place just demolished or vandals and weathering destroyed it or a mix of all 3?
This is the epitome of Adam the Woo goodness IMO. If you read this Adam.. I kinda hope you get out of LA and do some more obscure location hunting, this was a gem. I'll be in Atlanta in the next few months and will find it very difficult to abstain from going.. although I'd wear a bulletproof hunting jacket :)
One problem Adam, the fork of a tree doesn't grow up with the tree, the tree grows up from the fork, so, the fork would be at the same height years later.

Thanks for sharing those memories. It is sad to see how the camp is now!
@@raysilvajrakajookboxxx1024 it is sad to see a camp or playground abandoned and overgrown. Something almost creepy about it but not sure why
You should get an award for the longest UA-cam comment

thats cool jenny btw you must of had some good times there when you went to camp there
Jenny J that’s terrifying
And Sleepaway Camp 2 has a rare performance of Charlie Sheen's little sister Renee Estevez as Molly! Nice work gentlemen!
I went to Camp Waco from 74' through 79'. It was a two week camp for type 1 diabetics hosted by the American Diabetes Association. The week prior to the diabetic camp, it was Camp Easter Seals and all the campers and some counselors were special needs youth.

Great job on the editing Adam. I had a blast that day! The video is amazing! Thanks for letting me join you that day.
Holy fuck HI TYLER!!!
YourLockerzPal Lol, HI!
Thanks for being there to make this awesome video!
mak4minecraft I appreciate that, thanks! It was fun, very fun indeed. Be sure to watch my version of this location on my page. It's no where near the amazingness of Adam's video but it's fun to watch...
Tyler Patrick ok
It's official people. Me and AdamTheWoo are on the Sleepaway Camp 2 Blu Ray in the special features.
Tyler Patrick Boom !
+adamthewoo hell yeah
+adamthewoo como é o nome do filme
You guys should check out the Dark Shade Creek filming locations!!
Congrats guys I love part 2 its my favorite im in Pennsylvania but hope to visit the sleep away camp 2 filming location someday
You better hope Angela doesn't show up.
That is so weird that the pool is basically a pond now. Did you know that Pamela Springstein was in an episode of The Facts of Life? I think it was the episode where Tootie is obsessed with Jermaine Jackson. It startled me to suddenly see "Angela." lol
To actually set foot on wonderful locations such as this where great classic horror movies were filmed! Thanks so much for this!
This was totally awesome... exact locations of scenes from these 2 movies! The way you carefully edited those scenes in with how they look today is just magical to a horror movie buff like myself. I especially liked the late 70's and pretty much all of the 80's horror flicks, and this being two of them that I have indeed seen before, makes it even more cool. Thanks Adam and Tyler. Special thanks to Tyler since he somehow found out where all this was in the middle of the Georgia woods. If you are allowed to do so, I would love to know which city this is in... wouldn't go to the same location though; especially after the hunting grounds warning.
stot2614 Thanks for the shout out. As for where the camp is located, It's in a small town called "Waco" in Waco,Georgia, near the Alabama/Georgia border. It's right off of exit 9 on i20 west/east.

thank you adam for going here, this is one of my favouriet moviess and it was great to see how it looks today after being there since 1983 thank you..
It is amazing how nature will reclaim anything we build. Beautiful, in a sense.
Congrats on this making the Special Features of the Scream Factory Blu-Ray Adam.
My brother and I found camp waco around 1999 early 2000s but had been living right down the road from it since 1992. We toured everything shown in your videos when they were still standing. The flag pole was there for along time. We fished that lake so much and slid down the spill way from the lake to the creek. underneath the chow hall was a poem written in the shape of a swan on water I had pictures of all of it for awhile and lost them all very cool place. And the swimming pool had huge gold fish it it
As a HUUUUUGE fan of the Sleepaway Camp trilogy, I absolutely LOVE this!!!! SO cool!!! I love how you incorporated scenes from the movie and how it looks then and now!! I cannot BELIEVE the "death cabin" is still there and you got to see it live!! SO jealous! And that fire pit where "The Shit Sisters" were burned! OMG this was so awesome!!
why did they let this place go to waste? So sad to see it in that condition.
Yeah i don't understand that either
@@shaneslikker9013 alot of horror movies are actually shot in places that look like there abandoned, but they hire construction workers to build things they can use. i would imagine there probably wasn't much to the place to begin with, but they make for a excellent location for a horror film.
@@Jeymez Thanks for the information. That might be it. It's kinda strange, spooky and fascinating to see these abandoned places.
Really crazy to believe that this place got so overgrown over the course of 30 years. Nature can be crazy.
Its amazing how fast mother nature reclaims everything!
Ikr imagine if humans vanished for 1 month and came back
Excellent video. Loved how you edited it together for us. I've seen the movies a couple of times, but I wouldn't have realized where you were and which shots you were referring to without it. On a side note, it's sad to see these places like this. They're part of the 80's, my favorite decade. As time keeps on trucking, these places are like forgotten stops along the way as you look forward to your destination. :(
Amazing! Just bought the dvd's because of this video! Definitely one of my favourite videos you've made!
This is the stuff I love about what you do, been watching your channel for a few years and I'm just finding more of your videos. Good stuff!
Dude, I LOVE when you do these! So nostalgic! I don't know how you find these places!! Thanks brother! Keep bringing it!!!
Ain't no way in *HELL* I would'a went down into that old opening at 9:25.
Killer job, Adam. You really put a lot of effort into making these videos great - finding all the locations and matching them up to the film. It's really fun to watch. So thank you. Keep up the good work!
Awesome job lining up those shots, Adam! That was definitely one of your more difficult jobs. Well done! Stay safe. On to the next adventure!
Hi Adam. I’m having a hard time sleeping tonight, so I started marathoning some of your earlier videos. I never saw the horror filming location videos that you recorded. They are awesome. I watched three of the Friday the 13th vids, and now I’m checking out the Sleepaway 2/3 location. Very cool man. I’m hope you are doing good ✌🏻
Amazing video. Thank you so much for making this!!! Two and Three played huge roles in my teenage horror fan days :)
That's SO cool. I would have grabbed a piece of the screen door.
Nature has really reclaimed that place. Bravo for trekking out there to bring us this video!
btw I have the survival kit box set I bought from best buy in 2002 which I still have. it's good to know that it's hard to find.
I own the set too!
amazing how fast shrubbery grows over.
Doesn't take long for nature to reclaim what is hers...
dennis tyler God Created Heaven, earth and us.
GREAT work you guys👍
It's amazing though how FAST! almost everything disappears...LOVE that pool & the footage you spliced it with---I'm doing one right now of 19 classes horror movies all into one beginning with Nosferatu in Wismar & Lubek, Germany and then on from there... I'll keep you posted but again GREAT work---hope to see some more...
Adam does such a good job. I appreciate that he goes on these kinds of adventures for me.
dam wtf how did it get so grown over so fast. That pool is a real pond now I bet it has fish inside
Fast? It was filmed in the 1980's xD
Thats not how that works with the fish
@@why1985 that is how it works. there might be fish in it.
Yeah there's probably fish in it.🌈
"...Come on out sweet-pea....you don't have to go fishin' if you don't wanna sweet-PEA!"
Michael J. Pollard looked like he was trippin ballz in that movie.
That was cool, I like it when you go to forgotten places. It is so strange seeing all that all that growth, just like when you went to the Bert Renoldes place. Keep Up the good work.
Thanks Adam! Happy Halloween! Watching you after midnight on Halloween night. Having fun spending it during this vid! By the way, The Abandoned Cabin scene.........the one with the stone staircase and the two nails and the two girls, Poison Ivy growing right up that place.
Pamela Springsteen is also in Fast Times At Ridgemont High, as the cheerleader who's always standing next to Kelli Maroney's character
holy hell the camp grew over. The woods really took over.
Even though I graduated high school in the 80s I was never a horror movie fan so I don't know of these films. That's why I liked how you included clips of the movie to match the actual location. I thought this vlog was quite enjoyable. Two thumbs up! 👍👍
Time really have done its job here. Awesome footage, thanks dudes!
For whatever reason, the pool, as it is when you found it, kinda freaked me out. Great job!!
I used to hang out with my buds here back in the 90's its an old abandoned YMCA camp thats 5 miles from where i live...It was pretty grown up the last time i was there but the cabins "which had some graffiti left by the actors were still intact..The pool was full of trash & debri but the common room/dining hall was an awesome place to skateboard as kids had built some ramps & stuff to ride on..There was a wooden bridge that went over part of the lake that you had to cross over to get to the pool/dining hall that was missing boards and was a generally creepy ass place! Especially after being potted up on the kind!! Lol,Good to see its still there!
1:50 Om nom nom.
If you hadn't told me it was a swimming pool, I never would have guessed.
Best one Adams done yet 10/10
Adam I have been subscribed to you for ever I mean it is awesome that scream factory picked you for the filming locations of part 2 and 3 of Sleepaway camp
Love it when you have history to the places you visit!
OMG! Dirty shame... My favorite horror movie... the place... its scary & sad. OMG..! Big thank you guys! Big thank you!
crazy how shit rots away so quickly
That camp was pretty run down to begin with
adam and tyler awesome vid u guys! loved those movies and getting to see remnants of the camp and some of it still intact and there at least was amazing! if u guys ever need a tag along or ever go back hit me up. keep up the good vids!
Its amazing how quickly the vegetation overgrew everything. Glad you guys were safe!! Great video!!
Guys be careful. Old buildings are so dangerous and unpredictable. Mold, wood rot, termite damage, rusty nails... (shivers). My father was a real estate inspector and I have been in some scary places.
Just be careful. Love your channel!
Awesome. Thanks, guys for your hard , yet fun work for us fans!!!!
You are THE MAN !
Love these old videos and this location was fun to watch as you tracked these spots down
I just subscribed because I love your horror movie filming location videos! I loved Sleep away camp and was so wanting you to do these! Your awesome!
it's such a shame that the Locations was all abandoned :(
Great job Adam & Tyler, thank you for doing this video it is greatly appreciated. 🙂🤘🌷
I miss the 80s the best decade ever
this was a lot of fun to watch 😁
I love the outhouse scene in part 2
Who what that place once use to look like!!! That pool and camp is insane how nature took over all the years like that! Very cool video That water tower is something else with that tree growing though it
Awesome video. Always good videos Adam. Another good video for you could be the return to sleepaway camp film locations in starlight pa.
i have these movies in a survival kit,but not the rare one with the red cross on it,such a creepy cool movies,loved all 3!
Good stuff.
Always enjoy the filming locations the most.
I just recently watched part 2 again! Awesome!
AWESOME! I was hoping that you would do a video for this movie one day. It looks like it was a blast to film this.
Hey Adam great video on The Sleepaway Camp locations. You mentioned the box set with the red cross sign on the box. I own it in my movie collection. I have a collection of over 28,000 movies mostly horror which I love. I love your you tube page, keep up the good work.
Love the vid, you go into so much detail and show the footage to go along. Great job, only small criticism might be that you said "actually" a lot, but still loved it!
Great video, thanks for editing in the movie footage. Was the camp built for the movie?
Awesome treat before going to work thanks Adam !
That's awesome they came to you about using your footage! Congrats, dude!
I am planning on visiting this location this weekend. I know it's apparently dangerous, but it's number one on my bucket list.
Bettnie LaRue did you end up going?
i really enjoy all your horror movie film location revisited! keep em coming!
I am a fan of your work Adam and you were just down the road from me and I didn't even know it!!!
Awesome video! Do you ever keep little souvenirs from these old locations?
Looks like nature won this battle
Oh my gosh Susan's husband on Eight is Enough. I gotta watch. Thanks ATW! This was fun. And that pool! Wow. Be safe.
i actually have the sleepaway camp box set, i've had it for years, it also has the dvd of the making of the a part 4 ..but unfortuntely i don't think it was every made
Amazing location, loved watching this.
Adam, do you ever take souvenirs from your location visits or do you leave everything as is? If you do, what would be your favourite piece of horror movie location history?
watch my new vid
You are the best at these.👍 Loved the SCREAM one.
Great video. How did I not know there was a part 2 and 3? i'm going to have to try to find them.
That was cool. Glad you went and posted this. You were up to your ass in poison ivy.
Good thing to watch on Halloween!
I'm a big fan for horror movies good job and the video Adam!
At my time (quite a few years back) these movies were toppin. I love this kind of stuff. I live in S.F and we have seen a few interesting locations also. Including Bodega Bay Ca. where The Birds was filmed. I have actually eaten at The Tides Restaurant. Now completely different than it was in the film. Thank ..
Very cool. It is surprising to see the bldgs in such a state of disrepear. I know it's been since the late 80's when the films were made, but there are examples of bldgs from then or even before that were in better shape in other vids. You would think dwellings would hold up a little better despite the years of neglect. Was this place just demolished or vandals and weathering destroyed it or a mix of all 3?
You should go to The Walking Dead filming locations in Georgia :D
That would be cool
Great video Adam. I really liked watching this one!
If they ever do a reboot they should definitely use and redecorate this abandoned camp :)
Dude,Watch out for snakes.
This is the epitome of Adam the Woo goodness IMO. If you read this Adam.. I kinda hope you get out of LA and do some more obscure location hunting, this was a gem. I'll be in Atlanta in the next few months and will find it very difficult to abstain from going.. although I'd wear a bulletproof hunting jacket :)
william castle Lots of future plans for sure
Wow. Amazing. Such a blast watching the first three and then finding this video.
One problem Adam, the fork of a tree doesn't grow up with the tree, the tree grows up from the fork, so, the fork would be at the same height years later.
good video i subscribed!
Woo "The Legendary Limbo Champion" Great Adventure dude
One of your best yet! Thanks man!!
Great job guys! Loved those movies!
Maybe the Grease Locations .. I liked to see those !! Great video,s !!
