Camp Mailbox #1: “Berserker” Angela

Between message boards, instant messages and MySpace, email is still the most popular format of communication with Camp Headquarters. If I receive an emailed question that can’t already be answered by viewing the website, I’ll answer the best here here where all can benefit.

Q: I liked reading the michael simpson berserk story boards but don’t get why angela is very different from his own sleepaway camp sequels. – Steven Reed

A: Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers presented an Angela more mature and vocal then the mute youth we met in the original. Throughout Sleepaway Camp 2, hints were dropped as to her developments (like the sex change) until the climax when Angela revealed to Sean the full details of the treatments and recommendations she received from her re-rehabilitation program. The Berserk script follows a similar arc – when we meet Angela she’s drastically different from her last incarnation, and gradually we learn why, with the hard details presented in the third-act.
