THE ULTIMATE REUNION
Jeff Hayes and Fangoria Magazine Present:
THE SLEEPAWAY CAMP REUNION
SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 2001


On Saturday, April 7, 2001, SLEEPAWAY CAMP once again made history! It has been 18 years since SLEEPAWAY CAMP was unleashed upon the world and 18 years later, the film's following is STRONGER than ever! When I arranged this reunion, I expected we would draw in a pretty good group of people...but the turn-out was absolutely INCREDIBLE! For all of you who have honored me at the Show and via e-mails afterwards for making this thing happen, I honor you for being the dedicated fans that you are and for helping to make this such a huge success...and the fun has only begun because SLEEPAWAY CAMP is coming back Big Time BABY!

I want to send a special thanks out to Tony Timpone and the rest of FANGORIA MAGAZINE! Tony says we were the "surprise hit of the show!!" Also a special thanks to MICHAEL FELSHER from ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT for supplying us with all those wonderful DVD and VHS sleeves for signing! They were gone within minutes!

And now without any further ado...we bring you: THE SLEEPAWAY CAMP REUNION...

THE ARRIVAL


First to arrive was everybody's favorite Aunt! It was DESIREE GOULD, Aunt Martha herself!


It was like Desiree had been frozen in time! She looks like she hasn't aged since the film was made 19 years ago...Absolutely remarkable! She looks even better today than she did as AUNTY MARTHA!


Next to arrive were FELISSA "Angela" ROSE and JONATHAN "Ricky" TIERSTEN. They were greeted by a gigantic hug from DESIREE.


Although we talk all the time, this was the first time Felissa and I have seen each other since we recorded the DVD commentary last year at this time!


HEY BOB A REE BOB! It's Jeff with "Kenny" himself: JOHN DUNN!! John actually did a live performance of "BOB A REE BOB" while on stage with the cast and the audience as his back up!


The creator himself, ROBERT HILTZIK, is greeted by one of his creepiest creations: AUNT MARTHA!


TOM "Mike" VAN DELL arrives with 15 minutes left until showtime!


The beautiful Felissa strikes a pose in the lobby of the NEW YORKER HOTEL!


Nick here travelled from PA to see the SLEEPAWAY REUNION! Check out the AWESOME silk-screened ANGELA T-shirt that he made back home!


LORIS "Billy" Sallahain and PAUL "Ronnie" DEANGELO arrived last minute! Unfortunately, Paul needed to use the rest room (which was all the way downstairs) and we were already about 5 or 10 minutes past showtime. So I showed him where it was, and when we came back, everyone else was already on stage. So Paul and I came on a few minutes late.
