Plot: There's a camp for the kiddies in the woods somewhere, the councillors fail to pay attention and a kid drowns. Twenty years later the camp re-opens and a crazy lady starts offing the new councillors.
This is one of the eighties iconic slasher series. Not only did the film spawn eleven sequels (one in 3D-look out for the TV ariel...dangerous) it also crossed over into another famous slasher series-Nightmare on Elm Street. Think Maniac Cop 2 (where a killer cop and a serial killer team up) but better, 'cos you get Jason and Freddy. Admittedly that spin off wasn't fantastic, but to have a franchise that spreads over 30 years is no mean feat.
A remake, like there seems to often be these days was released to moderate success in 2009 (starring one of the lads from the Supernatual TV series).
Budget: $500,000
Gross: $59,700,000
Fun Fact: The Hollywood game, the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon can include this film also.
