If you read her in-depth Sleepaway Camp review or her insightful interview with the film's director, Robert Hiltzik, then you know Daily Dead Managing Editor Heather Wixson is a passionate fan of 1983's Sleepaway Camp. It's fitting, then, that Heather was recently a special guest on John Pavlich's always entertaining Sofa Dogs podcast to do a special audio commentary while watching the cult classic summer camp horror film.

From Sofa Dogs: "Heather (managing editor of DailyDead.com) returns, this time to kick off a seasonal theme of summer-based motion pictures. First up, the disturbing cult classic that spawned a unique, slasher franchise. We discuss gender roles, social norms among men, women and children, sexual identity confusion and how to properly manage a summer camp. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the film on your DVD."
