Sleepaway Camp Does Texas!

On October 18, 19, and 20th of 2001, SLEEPAWAY CAMP Returned to the Big Screen in Austin, Texas. The event organized by ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE proprietor Tim League (and his wife Karrie), sleepawaycampmovies.com's Jeff Hayes, and Mr. Quint of 'Aint It Cool News,' marked SLEEPAWAY'S first time on the big screen since 1984!!! The movie was screened at MIDNIGHT on all 3 nights with a Q&A session (with director Robert Hiltzik, Felissa "Angela" Rose, Jonathan "Ricky" Tiersten, and webmaster Jeff Hayes) following each showing. The print of the film was Robert's personal copy and had only been played once before (for PARAMOUNT PICTURES back in 1983). So grab a seat y'all, sit back, and enjoy...SLEEPAWAY CAMP GOES TO TEXAS...
