Scream Factory/Shout! Factory is giving horror fans a reason to pitch their tents early — the Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers 4K UHD Collector’s Edition arrives August 12, 2025. This upgraded release marks the film’s debut in a brand-new 4K restoration from the original 35mm interpositive, presented in Dolby Vision for stunning visual clarity.
The 1988 slasher sequel, set five years after the events of the first Sleepaway Camp, stars Pamela Springsteen as the camp’s most cheerful serial killer, Angela Baker. Known for its dark humor, creative kills, and cult following, Unhappy Campers has been resurrected with both pristine picture and audio improvements, featuring 2160p HEVC/H.265 video, DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono, and the original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio.
Collectors can pre-order the 4K release individually for $32.99 or as part of a Deluxe Limited Edition bundle with Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland for $73.96. The deluxe set comes with exclusive slipcovers and posters featuring newly commissioned artwork.
