Plot[edit]
During power outages, Angie Willis tells her family the stories of the original Sleepaway Camp trilogy films, with characters from Queen of the Willis, Amanda & Elisa , The Souzas, and Hoosier Anchorwoman! playing the Sleepaway Camp roles. A running joke at the end of the episode deals with Deanna Willis (voiced by Candis Cayne in 2008 and Rachael Passalt in 2013 and 2018) criticizing Angie's take on Sleepaway Camp as a ripoff, to which Angie argues back about her disappointment with Candis Cayne films.
Cast[edit]
- Ava Willis as Melanie Costic - One of the main founders and counselors of Camp Quillsville and the transgendered wife of Rita Costic (Angie Willis). While attempting to be open to the campers, she is actually a short sighted, rather apathetic, self-serving and disillusioned woman, who appears to have opened the camp purely out of profit. She does so under the guise of a moral project to help understand troubled teenagers and lower the barriers between them and the more privileged youths, all while cutting expenses through denying necessities. She holds an apparently naive and ignorant understanding of teenagers. She also appears to be extremely hypocritical and lazy, eating veggie burgers and fries at the cafeteria while demanding campers get their own food by fishing, farming, and demanding campers fix coffee for her and throw out her trash. In "Nightmare Vacation", she beats Ricky (Rags Willis) up mercilessly. She is injured after battery acid is thrown on her face in "It's a Camp Trap!", and in "Quillsville Wasteland" she is buried alive and beheaded by Angela (Shushu), of whom Melanie would arrest.
- Heather Willis as Artie the Head Chef at Camp Quillsville
- Shushu Willis as Angela Baker - The lead character and antagonist of the trilogy. Since the first movie she has killed many teens and others who get in her way or offended her moral values. Her preferred haunting is the campgrounds of Camp Quillsville, which has seen many murders. She is motivated to kill out of annoyance or from learning that a person is of an unsavory background and character.
