Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers also known as Nightmare Vacation II is a 1988 American horror film and a sequel to the movie Sleepaway Camp, written by Fritz Gordon and directed by Michael A. Simpson. It stars Pamela Springsteen, Renée Estevez, and Tony Higgins. The film takes place several years after the original film, and features transgender former camper and killer Angela targeting misbehaving teenagers at a summer camp.
Unlike the original Sleepaway Camp, which featured a serious tone, Sleepaway Camp II blends elements of black comedy, and satirizes various horror films.
In 1988, five years after the events of the first film, T.C., the head counselor at Camp Rolling Hills, is at a campfire with male campers Sean, Rob, Anthony, Judd, Charlie and Emilio. A girl, Phoebe, is there too, having sneaked away from her cabin to be with the boys. As Phoebe tells the story about the killings of the previous film at Camp Arawak, her head counselor Angela appears and forces her to go back to the cabin. After the pair get into an argument, Phoebe becomes lost, only to be attacked by Angela who hits her over the head with a log before cutting her tongue out.
The next day, the campers in Phoebe's cabin, Molly, Ally, Mare, Demi, Lea and twins Brooke and Jodi, question Angela on the whereabouts of Phoebe, however she tells them she had to be sent home due to bad behavior. At breakfast, the camp director, Uncle John, gives Angela "the Counselor of the Week Award." Afterwards, Angela discovers Brooke and Jodi smoking marijuana and drinking, and knocks them unconscious. Later, Brooke awakens on a hot grill only to see the skeleton of her already cremated sister. Angela then pours gasoline over Brooke and burns her to death. Meanwhile, Molly and Sean start a relationship, despite Ally's attempts to seduce Sean.
That night, the boys start a panty raid in the girl's cabin until Angela comes in, throwing them out. Later, the girls raid the boys cabin. T.C. allows the fun, but Angela appears and witnesses Mare flashing her breasts. Mare decides she wants to leave the camp, so she gets Angela to drive her. While traveling, Angela gives Mare one last chance to apologize, when she refuses to do so Angela murders her with an electric drill. The following day, Angela discovers Charlie and Emilio looking at naked pictures of various campers they had taken in secret. That night the girls go camping, giving Anthony and Judd a chance to scare Angela, dressed as Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. The plan backfires when Angela, dressed as Leatherface, slashes Anthony's throat with a clawed glove and murders Judd with a chainsaw. After finding out Ally has snuck off to have sex with Rob, Angela plans to murder the pair but fails.
