I suspect its not suddenly change the gender of one of your children causing innumerable deaths some years later at a co-ed kids camp, but who are we to judge. This episode marks a lot firsts and lasts. To start, this episode was recorded in June, planned for July, and releasing in August. Quite a bit has changed since then. First, we got the old opening song. a classic to be sure. Next, we have for the first time a real LIVE audio commentary of the film in its entirety. You can skip to minute mark 10:10 to get right to it, just make sure you got the original movie queued up. Finally, you'll hear a familiar voice from TWR previous. While not Willows official last episode at the time, this marks her last full appearance on the show. Of course there are gags a plenty including wondering why everyone is at a 9.5 on the anger scale, enjoying the couselors Steve Perry and AC Slater-Baio, and asking "where is the curling iron going?" So sit back, turn on this campy schlock-filling summer camp horror movie, and listen to the dulcimer tones of our voices as we do our best mediocre MST3K impression. Thanks and enjoy!!!
