The actor who plays the boy (I forget the character’s name) that is always getting bullied was actually bullied off-camera by his fellow child actors, so a lot of his reactions in the film are pretty authentic. The bullying got so bad throughout filming that the actor who plays that nice camp counsellor that tries to befriend Angela had to step in and tell the bullies to behave themselves, or else he would tell the director.
Its a great line to confuse, anger or Impress your Girlfriend if she happens to be flat and you are about to have some snuggle time :P I used that line on my now Ex Girlfriend (dont worry we broke up 2 years after i did that) and she wanted to see the Movie togheter with me. She is now as big of a Horror Fan as James is :D
@@wielbladtibijski Hysterical means, in this context at least, very funny. It's synonymous with hilarious. Why would I assume that I don't know what that word means?
I think he had to have known what she was, since he lived with her. He probably had no idea she was about to become a psychotic killer but he surely would have known she was really a he and that's why he was protective.
Honestly I would kill to see a sequel with a psychological twist, with the direct aftermath and how Ricky reacts to Angela being the killer and how his mom forced Peter to live as Angela
Will never understand why when people talk about the reveal scene they never mention the terrifying look on Angela’s face. That haunts me so much more than the twist.
FACTS! Anybody who watched the movie for the first time would think they were really siblings in real life. Hell, watching this video I thought they was related. I'm glad I ain't the only one.
Even though it almost emotionally destroyed the poor guy who had to do it, using Angela's face as a mask for the final reveal shot makes it look way, way creepier than it would have been if it were just a fake strap-on. Something about how masculine in shape the body is compared to Angela's actor's and that frozen expression on their face is.... kinda terrifying. She's making a face like she's screaming, but she's not... she's just standing there with her eyes bugged out, mouth wide open, knife in hand. The rigid, unmoving fakeness of the face actually adds to the horror element instead of taking away from it.
TheDangerNoodle cause he had to stand there naked in front of the crew. I’d or badly be nervous but I don’t get why it almost emotionally DESTROYED him
Not trying to be a dick because schools are terrible at teaching this but it's "James's" not James', as it is one single James, not multiple James, even if it ends with an S, if it's singular, still add 's.
felissa rose angela) , karen fields (judy), and katherine kamhi (meg) were actually all quite close during filming. katherine kamhi said the scene where they throw angela into the water was hard for her to shoot for that reason.
Also with the breathing and grunting at the end had me scared shitless if you didn’t hear it go back and listen they even play it during the to the numbers bit
That ending with naked Angela is seriously disturbing nightmare fuel that I have never been able to get out of my head even years after seeing the movie.
Especially when the music so intense and horrific....and the green negative colors as Angela’s face makes it a total nightmare fuel. Whoever the guy is.....let us pray he is alright.
It was lovely! I'm glad to see the movie has such a profound effect on the cast! I'm sorry to the college dude who had to show his dick though. Sounds like he had a right time

In regards to the transgender issue of this movie, i dont think it should be an issue as peter was not transgender, but a boy, forced unwillingly to be raised as angela.
@@NorwegianForestCatboy That's not what the movie implies, Peter isn't being "forced to live as the wrong gender," Peter is being forced to live as his dead sister after an incredibly traumatic accident that killed her and their father and evidently resulted in head trauma. Then, he is forced to go on "vacation" to the same environment in which said accident occurred, and is exposed to the same type of behavior that caused it; namely irresponsible teens at camp.
While they're on the beach kissing, Angela has a flashback to her father and Lenny laying in bed together because that's how she sees it. At this point, Angela doesn't feel like a girl and is still being forced to dress like a girl by her aunt.
also the fact that it was triggered when he tried to unbutton her shirt, making her be reminded that she isnt really a girl. Idk why James didnt catch that, it was pretty obvious
That outro with the actress might be one of the sweetest most sincere little insider looks iv ever seen. No ego on show just pure love for something they enjoyed
I’m so glad James encouraged his viewers to watch this in its entirety before watching his kill count. I paused this when he suggested that, watched the movie and came back to this later. Excellent suggestion as it truly is batshit insane and deserves to be consumed from beginning to end. So glad I took his advice!
He explains that in the kill count, he said he stands in as a red herring and I think that extended to hand shots for any viewers who looked real close and thought they knew who dunnit
@@david-vf5di not a spoil, and James always warns that you should watch the movie before the kill count. “These aren’t supposed to be a full film experience”
I really think it's important that people keep in mind that psychotic characters forced to be girls/boys by their parents are *not* transgender. Comparing the two is what causes the issues and conflates the two. One is a part of who you are. The other is a mental breakdown forced on you by horrible parents. The same goes for characters like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. He's not transgender, he's a psychopath that murders people.
Trans person here (if the pfp isn’t obvious enough), I never had a problem with this movie either. And it was never meant to be harmful, just a unique twist, and I think it’s great
hi, also trans. I'm glad this movie didn't negatively affect you. the ending genuinely made me sick to my stomach. I wrote my English thesis on transsexualism in the horror genre, here is the excerpt that I feel best explains my feelings. "The audience is told Angela is not transgender, that this choice was made for her, and yet, none doesn't make the final image of the film less tasteless to watch; Angela, nude, covered in the blood of a boy she seduced and decapitated, showing a film once again putting transsexual bodies on display as grotesque and disgusting. The disgust the audience is meant to feel at a “mutilated” trans body triumphs the horror of the rest of the film, making the greatest horror of the film not the murder and assault, but rather the transsexual body. When found, having just murdered on of the other camper, the exclamation made by the counsellors who find her is nothing to do with the violence, but rather, a disgusted and frightened: “My God, she's a boy.” @@mitzo4526
I’m cis, so feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I think the idea is that the kid snapped because he was being forced to live as the wrong gender. The movie is arguing that it’s abusive to try and make someone present as a gender they aren’t, using the example of a cis boy being forced to present as female. It would be just as bad to force, say, a trans girl to present as a boy.
@@phasmidian I agree wholely. Even if Peter isn't trans (I'm using his prefered name here; calling him Angela would be just as bad as deadnaming an actual transperson), the way his body is used as a cheap jumpscare and twist is still transphobic. Crazy how the counsellers where more freaked by the girl penis then the LITERAL DECAPITATED HEAD.
The gay scene with the dad and that Lenny guy is supposed to show "Angela's" confusion if two boys can love each other. Since she isn't actually a girl, Paul thinks so though and wants to be with her. The scene after that with the boy pointing: Since the boy is "Angela" he's pointing at the girl like saying "I'm you now". I guess this is just confusing foreshadowing that the girl is actually a boy and is now confused, if he's gay or not, since everyone sees him as the girl.
I think the reason "Angela" has a flashback to her father's gay moment is because she knows that she's really male and therefore having a boy on top of "her" might remind her of that moment
Saw a commenter on this kill count say they "wished they had shown Judy's kill since it was the only offscreen kill", which made me feel real uncomfortable since that person either didn't seem to understand why showing such a kill would be inappropriate now matter that age of the actress or her stand in, given where the kill is located OR wanted to see the kill for more disgusting reasons and was doing a bad job of hiding that that's what they wanted to see, the graphic depiction of a girl with a curling iron shoved up Judy's nether regions.
Literally that entire ending had me shook and just totally in awe that they pulled this off in the 80s and really an iconic look of Angela gives me chills. I just hope the guy that had to stand there nude is alright
Yeah! I haven’t seen the movie and until he revealed the ending, I thought to myself “what?? But I thought the boy lived??” And assumed I just had it wrong. But then I felt really smart when he revealed it.
22:19 isn't that then child abuse from the crazy aunt because it was never stated that Peter wanted to be a girl when he was a child so it was forced upon by the aunt
Douglas Freer bruh... I don’t get why people are asking this? It’s simple... a guy was forced to live on as his dead sister by his aunt who then forced him to go back to the place that created his trauma which in turn made him go crazy. It’s suppose to be a twist not a well thought out “is this LGBTQ representation?” Even if it was would you really want to be represented as a psychopath?
sleepaway camp is my favorite movie of all time. ever since discovering it, it has gotten me through some tough times, making me feel better and smile when i’m alone. my partner just had a late halloween party and after a few people had already left, we turned this on due to my high praise and they all not only enjoyed it but thought it was great. that will now always be a key memory for me. if you haven’t seen this movie yet, go watch it. it changed my life. and james, thank you for introducing it to me.
I'm a big fan of how much Ricky clearly cares about his cousin and is willing to go to bat for her. And his creative swearing, also big fan of that lol
Alright so, when Angela had that flashback of her dad and Lenny in bed, I think it was because Angela is technically a boy, and what was happening with her/him and Paul on the beach was very reminiscent and similar to the scene with her dad and Lenny. Most people probably already came to that conclusion, but yeah
@Anna333 considering the context of the situation, I am just more likely to believe she was having flashbacks and was sexually insecure about her body. She knew she had Male body parts compared to a female. This is also why shy flash backed to seeing her father in bed with a man. She was conflicted on her feelings and sexuality

@@NorwegianForestCatboy That's not what the movie implies, Peter isn't being "forced to live as the wrong gender," Peter is being forced to live as his dead sister after an incredibly traumatic accident that killed her and their father and evidently resulted in head trauma. Then, he is forced to go on "vacation" to the same environment in which said accident occurred, and is exposed to the same type of behavior that caused it; namely irresponsible teens at camp.
yeah, Peter being a murderer has little do to with his gender
@@Ezramicon holy shit dude you dont know the difference between choosing for yourself or being forced??
@@artemis7271 i understand that my point being is that hes not "transgender" so its not really a "transgender isssue"
@@Katsthepanda My reply wasn't directly to you :)
wait...ricky was 17? he looked about 12
Danny Harris thought he looked like 14 but like. still
they needed someone who looked young cause in the movie he was around 14 i think
Phuck You smart dude you are I looked his actor and he is 14
Danny Harris innit 😂😂
Hell, ya not wrong there
That final shot scares the shit out of me. The face, the breathing, the music. It’s genuinely terrifying. It’s such a cool twist
While they're on the beach kissing, Angela has a flashback to her father and Lenny laying in bed together because that's how she sees it. At this point, Angela doesn't feel like a girl and is still being forced to dress like a girl by her aunt.
When put in the context of the ending it makes a lot more sense.
also the fact that it was triggered when he tried to unbutton her shirt, making her be reminded that she isnt really a girl. Idk why James didnt catch that, it was pretty obvious
Yeah........
Yes, *interestingly*

I’m so glad James encouraged his viewers to watch this in its entirety before watching his kill count. I paused this when he suggested that, watched the movie and came back to this later. Excellent suggestion as it truly is batshit insane and deserves to be consumed from beginning to end. So glad I took his advice!
12:34
“Boy pile! Pile on up now boys!”

Fun fact: The hands that are doing the killing is actually Jonathan Tiersten’s(Ricky) hands.
I so knew it, me and the boys while watching the movie called it out that those were definitely his hands.
@@david-vf5di its not spoiling because it’s not him.

He explains that in the kill count, he said he stands in as a red herring and I think that extended to hand shots for any viewers who looked real close and thought they knew who dunnit

I really think it's important that people keep in mind that psychotic characters forced to be girls/boys by their parents are *not* transgender. Comparing the two is what causes the issues and conflates the two.
One is a part of who you are. The other is a mental breakdown forced on you by horrible parents.
The same goes for characters like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. He's not transgender, he's a psychopath that murders people.
Trans person here (if the pfp isn’t obvious enough), I never had a problem with this movie either. And it was never meant to be harmful, just a unique twist, and I think it’s great
hi, also trans. I'm glad this movie didn't negatively affect you. the ending genuinely made me sick to my stomach. I wrote my English thesis on transsexualism in the horror genre, here is the excerpt that I feel best explains my feelings.
"The audience is told Angela is not transgender, that this choice was made for her, and yet, none doesn't make the final image of the film less tasteless to watch; Angela, nude, covered in the blood of a boy she seduced and decapitated, showing a film once again putting transsexual bodies on display as grotesque and disgusting. The disgust the audience is meant to feel at a “mutilated” trans body triumphs the horror of the rest of the film, making the greatest horror of the film not the murder and assault, but rather the transsexual body. When found, having just murdered on of the other camper, the exclamation made by the counsellors who find her is nothing to do with the violence, but rather, a disgusted and frightened: “My God, she's a boy.”
@@mitzo4526
I’m cis, so feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I think the idea is that the kid snapped because he was being forced to live as the wrong gender. The movie is arguing that it’s abusive to try and make someone present as a gender they aren’t, using the example of a cis boy being forced to present as female. It would be just as bad to force, say, a trans girl to present as a boy.
@@tsifirakiehl4250 i see your point, but due to the time it came out and the actual impact it had, i just can’t see it that way
@@phasmidian I agree wholely. Even if Peter isn't trans (I'm using his prefered name here; calling him Angela would be just as bad as deadnaming an actual transperson), the way his body is used as a cheap jumpscare and twist is still transphobic. Crazy how the counsellers where more freaked by the girl penis then the LITERAL DECAPITATED HEAD.

The gay scene with the dad and that Lenny guy is supposed to show "Angela's" confusion if two boys can love each other. Since she isn't actually a girl, Paul thinks so though and wants to be with her. The scene after that with the boy pointing: Since the boy is "Angela" he's pointing at the girl like saying "I'm you now". I guess this is just confusing foreshadowing that the girl is actually a boy and is now confused, if he's gay or not, since everyone sees him as the girl.
Yeah and also how Angela and Peter switch places on the bed during the transition also alludes to the swap I think
@Fat Cat What?
@Fat Cat the fuck do you mean w forced trans?
@Fat Cat forced trans?
@Fat Cat "forced trans" is different, not everyone would identify with the gender that they did not choose but had forced on them
Felissa Rose being so sincere at the end was incredibly moving.
I wanted to cry 😢
Cool points for pointing out the creepy Mel/Meg relationship. I don't think that gets mentioned enough.
Ricky is the youngest looking 17 year old, he was so baby faced!!
Fr I thought he was 14!
WAIT HE WAS 17?
Wow he's the same Me and Ricky being called baby face
He legitimately looks Felissa Rose’s age. Maybe even a little younger.
Ya’ll ever seen Ralph Macchio?
I think the reason "Angela" has a flashback to her father's gay moment is because she knows that she's really male and therefore having a boy on top of "her" might remind her of that moment

"Eat shit and live Bill" one of the best lines in a horror film ever
Judy's kill was so brutal even though it was offscreen, but the shadows on the wall told us
Saw a commenter on this kill count say they "wished they had shown Judy's kill since it was the only offscreen kill", which made me feel real uncomfortable since that person either didn't seem to understand why showing such a kill would be inappropriate now matter that age of the actress or her stand in, given where the kill is located OR wanted to see the kill for more disgusting reasons and was doing a bad job of hiding that that's what they wanted to see, the graphic depiction of a girl with a curling iron shoved up Judy's nether regions.
I know for a fact every girl winced when it came to Judy's death scene.

Ricky's delivery of "Eat shit and live, Bill." Was the best delivery of a line in literally anything ever.
James actually made the killed kid in the beginning anonymous, so that the ending wouldn't be spoiled.
You're an amazing person James. Thank you.

I can appreciate that, how thoughtful of him.^^
Yeah! I haven’t seen the movie and until he revealed the ending, I thought to myself “what?? But I thought the boy lived??” And assumed I just had it wrong. But then I felt really smart when he revealed it.
22:19 isn't that then child abuse from the crazy aunt because it was never stated that Peter wanted to be a girl when he was a child so it was forced upon by the aunt
Yes it would be considered child abuse
People force their children into roles like that nowadays and it seems fine.
@@reyruiz8484 its %100 not fine
That makes me question if this film really is a representation of LGBT since young Peter probably wasn’t trans and forced into acting like a girl
Douglas Freer bruh... I don’t get why people are asking this? It’s simple... a guy was forced to live on as his dead sister by his aunt who then forced him to go back to the place that created his trauma which in turn made him go crazy. It’s suppose to be a twist not a well thought out “is this LGBTQ representation?” Even if it was would you really want to be represented as a psychopath?
sleepaway camp is my favorite movie of all time. ever since discovering it, it has gotten me through some tough times, making me feel better and smile when i’m alone. my partner just had a late halloween party and after a few people had already left, we turned this on due to my high praise and they all not only enjoyed it but thought it was great. that will now always be a key memory for me. if you haven’t seen this movie yet, go watch it. it changed my life. and james, thank you for introducing it to me.

Alright so, when Angela had that flashback of her dad and Lenny in bed, I think it was because Angela is technically a boy, and what was happening with her/him and Paul on the beach was very reminiscent and similar to the scene with her dad and Lenny.
Most people probably already came to that conclusion, but yeah
Also, the scene with the kids in the bed was obviously them playing "doctor" and exploring each others bodies
Yeah that's what u was thinking
@Anna333 considering the context of the situation, I am just more likely to believe she was having flashbacks and was sexually insecure about her body. She knew she had Male body parts compared to a female.
This is also why shy flash backed to seeing her father in bed with a man. She was conflicted on her feelings and sexuality
Yea she/he is kinda gay
reqx V.2 I don’t think that’s how transgenderism works
