Well finally I received it thanx to my aunt who bought it for me on Best Buy on Florida since here we don't have one. Okay so this kit is just awesome. The "Sleepaway Camp" dvd is just the same as the one that it was already out wich only has a commentary and trailer. Sleepaway Camp 2:Unhappy Campers has a commentary,behind the scenes footage and outtakes,teaser for "Sleepaway Camp III:Teenage Wasteland,Theatrical trailer and still galleries indeed is a good DVD. Sleepaway Camp III:Teenage Wasteland includes a commentary;behind the scenes footage and outtakes,Deleted scenes featuring additional "gore" footage,theatrical trailer and still galleries.
It includes the "Exclusive Bonus 4th DVD "Sleepaway Camp IV:The Survivor" production footage" wich I really hate it because it sucks and if that movie would had been made it would be a total disgrace for the series.
Anyone else owns this great kit?
This is the best money that I have waste in DVD'S!
If u wanna know more so u better be sure to read the reviews that Im gonna do for the survival kit;)

Aye, I bought it without the 4th disc because I didn't want to order from an American site in case I got hit with unknown taxes and all that shite.
Fucking excellent box set though, and I love the box design too.

I'm envious; I simply must own this set, but cash is short. Aye, Will I ever get to see Sleepaway Camp 3? Jason just doesn't know..

In my opinion the best from the trilogy is "Unhappy Campers"!
The first one is scary , shocking and I love it.
The third one is good too and I lke it but is silly and 95% of the movie takes placeduring the day.
This is the best trilogy ever!!!!!

I'd agree with that, SwimFan.
Sleepaway Camp, apart from its excellent ending, can only be described as good at best.
Sleepaway Camp 2 is the ultimate 80's horror film: tits and gore.
Sleepaway Camp 3 is the same, only not as good.
Therefore:
SC1 - 3/5
SC2 - 4/5
SC3 - 3/5
Overall box set - 4/5

Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers: 4/5
Haven't seen 3, but would certainly like to.

Yeah, I bought this off eBay,and it's a great set! The three films are just as cheesy as I remember them, but no less entertaining for being so! I haven't listened to the commentaries on any of them yet, but the deleted scenes were a nice addition (although many of them were just extended rather than deleted, but hey, I'm not complaining!) The behind the scenes on the filming of the opening of SC3 was great too.
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase (and even though I didn't get the fouth disc - which doesn't sound much cop anyway -I did get what is now a limited edition package with the red cross on the front!)

Yeah, I picked this up a couple weeks ago at Best Buy. I had just heard about the "red cross" cover being discontinued, so I gave in to my collector's impulse, and got it.
I've only watched the first movie, and haven't really had time get around to the other movies yet. I am looking forward to the second, as most every review I read makes that out to be the best in the series. So, I'll get around to that someday. And if nothing else, at least the box is pretty cool.

Hehe, I think I will as well. Hope you enjoyed the day off school :). I know I used to love them.
P.S. Love the ending to the second SC film.

How much did that box set run you? I might have to turn to eBay for my Sleepaway Camp fix :).

Hey Swin dude, did you get the set with the Red Cross on the cover or the one that says "survival kit" on the cover? Cause I think the one with the red cross is like a collectors item allready cause the Red Cross people asked Anchor Bay to take the red cross off so people wouldnt relate these slasher films with the Red Cross people.
Te pregunto porque vi el set de Sleepaway Camp en Borders de plaza las americas con la cruz roja en la portada y me acorde de ti.:D

Awesome box set, the 4th disk is crap but I guess adds to the collectible value. I managed to pick up the Red Cross special box at Best Buy for a hella good deal $25. While I was in the horror section my impules got to me and I also bought Return of the Living Dead & Re-Animator Millenium Editon DVD. Classic & Well worth every cent!
