Return to Sleepaway Camp is a 2008 horror-comedy film written and directed by Robert Hiltzik. This film takes place after 1983's Sleepaway Camp, and ignores the events of previous sequels Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988), Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (1989), and Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor (2012).
Alan (Michael Gibney) is a boy who is at a summer camp. The movie shows that Alan is a bully, who in turn is bullied by other kids. Among his abusers are his stepbrother Michael (Michael Werner) and his friends Vinny (Christian Hess) and T.C. (Christopher Shand), and the girls at the camp, mainly a girl named Bella (Shahidah McIntosh). Several boys are lighting farts one night. Alan tries, and after failing, he threatens the other boys, but is soon stopped by camp counselor, Randy (Brye Cooper). In the dining hall, Alan gets into a violent confrontation with Randy after he complains about the food. Ronnie allows Alan to get something else to eat, but Alan gets in trouble with cook Mickey (Lenny Venito). Alan throws a butcher knife at Mickey and the camp owner, Frank (Vincent Pastore), argues with Alan. Alan runs away, with Michael chasing him. In the kitchen, Mickey is killed after being held above and dumped into the deep fryer. His body is dumped in the trash compactor.
During the social, Alan is fooled by campers Terry (Adam Wylie), nicknamed "Weed", and Stan (Chas Brewer) into smoking dried cow manure, which makes him cough and falls on Stan's crotch, earning him the nickname "Blowjob." After the social, Weed is tied to a chair and gasoline is squirted down his throat. The killer sticks a lit cigarette in his mouth and his insides explode. Ronnie suspects the murders that happened twenty years ago are happening again, but Frank states the murders were accidental. A week later, Alan manages to convince two girls, Karen (Erin Broderick) and Marie (Samantha Hahn), to go to his "secret hideout". Michael makes Alan look like he skinned frogs, and Karen and Marie run away. Michael, T.C. and Marie force Karen to lure Alan to the back of the stage, where they take his clothes off, tie him up, blindfold him and embarrass him at the social.
