Hey! It's basically my birthday! To celebrate, The Blood Buddies brought along our friend Alyx from the Strange Talk radio show! 

Sleepaway Camp (1983) dir. Robert Hiltzik. "Angela Baker, a shy, traumatized young girl, is sent to summer camp with her cousin. Shortly after her arrival, anyone with sinister or less than honorable intentions gets their comeuppance." (Source: IMDB)
