Angela Baker continues her murderous rampage at Camp New Horizons in Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland. The movie was greenlit during the filming of Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers. The script and pre-production were done in a matter of days, which explains a lot, and filming commenced just as the first sequel wrapped. The black comedy slasher mirrored its predecessor in tone and is pretty much a waste ;-) of time. Perhaps the one redeeming quality is that six of the characters are named after The Brady Bunch (1969-1974) kids.
The same location was used once again. Camp Younts was a youth camp which had been abandoned a few years prior to the 1987 filming. I joined Paul Slattery of Then & Now Movie Locations on a trek out to the grounds, which has been completely overgrown with vegetation. So if you plan to visit, don't be a moron like me who wore shorts. I was very fortunate to only walk away with a few bug bites and tree branch scrape to the face. It is quite a hike from the main road, which was already a ways from where you can park. This area is known as hunting grounds, so proceed with caution.
