The Movie: Made at the height of the low-budget slasher film craze, Sleepaway Camp tells the story of a transgender girl named Angela who, after surviving a horrific boating accident which killed her father and twin sibling, goes crazy and kills a bunch of unsuspecting campers. The film has gone on to become quite the cult-classic over the years. The Scenery-Chewing Performance: Karen Fields plays the stuck-up, vindictive, bikini-clad entity known as Judy - Angela's main tormentor at the camp. Judy is the original horror movie mean girl, the bully that can rock a side ponytail and humiliate lesser campers without even trying. Karen's routine is as absurd as it is classic. From flirting with guys twice her age to getting vaginally penetrated by a curling iron - the actress turns in a performance of toe-curling excess.
