Sleepaway Camp Films was saddened to hear of John Hughes’ passing last week. The legendary teen comedy/drama auteur had considerable impact upon Michael A. Simpson’s pair of Sleepaway Camp sequels.
It bears repeating that in Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers, writer Fritz Gordon named characters after the so-called ‘brat pack’ and specifically name-checked the cast of The Breakfast Club: Molly [Ringwald], Ally [Sheedy], Emilio [Estevez], Judd [Nelson], Anthony [Michael Hall] and even Uncle John, a reverent position referring to Hughes.
Overall, the atypical character interactions and soap operatic elements of the sequels are in direct response to the direction John Hughes took teenage-centric cinema in the 1980′s.
Interestingly, at some point post-Teenage Wasteland, Gordon extended his appreciation of The Breakfast Club into a never-realized treatment entitled The Angel Of Death which positioned Angela as a teacher in high school bumping off kids stuck in detention.
I urge you all to read this amazing secret story about John Hughes.

So sad,I loved Mr.Hughes even though I was never in the 80s’,I wasalways wishing for him to do a comeback something really 80′ like a sequel to the Breakfast Club but no,also we will never see the daylight of the deleted scenes to any of his good films.R.I.P. John Hughes
This was a actually quite great submit. In theory I’d like to publish like this also – getting time and actual effort to make a excellent piece of writing… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain one thing done.
Thank you for an additional terrific write-up. Where else could anybody get that kind of facts in such a ideal way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am to the look for this kind of data.
