Sleepaway Camp Gets New 4K Restoration After Recovery of Original Negative

Scream Factory has announced a 4K restoration of Robert Hiltzik’s 1983 slasher Sleepaway Camp after locating the film’s original negative. The announcement was made via Instagram without specific details regarding release date, format, or supplemental features. The label’s previous 2014 Collector’s Edition Blu-ray was sourced from a 2K scan of the original camera negative, leaving unclear whether this restoration involves rescanning the same element at higher resolution or represents a different, previously missing negative. The film, released during the early 1980s camp slasher cycle, gained cult status for its final reveal and the introduction of character Angela Baker, played by Felissa Rose. The brief announcement generated significant coverage from horror media outlets.
