Halloween Resurrection (2002) & Sleepaway Camp 2 (1988)

Send us a textAs part of our 3rd Summer Drive-In Special, we are watching two sequels that are vastly different than their predecessors. Resurrection is a direct sequel of H20 for 15 minutes and then goes so far from the Halloween story that it has gained a copious amount of hatred. Unhappy Campers has its fans, but it also has a lot of hate for being a complete 180 from the first Sleepaway Camp. Dumping the moody and creepy vibe of the first movie for over-the-top, well, CAMP. And we couldn't be more excited.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
