With Christmas songs on the airwaves, presents being placed under trees, and holiday gatherings taking place, summer camp might be the furthest thing from your mind, but the folks at Scream Factory will have you reminiscing about crackling bonfires and blood-splattered fun in the sun, as they have revealed that they will release the first two Sleepaway Camp sequels on Collector's Edition Blu-rays next year.

Due to the requests that came in when they released Sleepaway Camp on a Collector's Edition Blu-ray in late May, Scream Factory has revealed that sometime next summer they will release Collector's Edition Blu-rays of Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers and Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland, both of which were directed by Michael A. Simpson, written by Fritz Gordon, and starred Pamela Springsteen as Angela Baker.

There's no word yet on what special features will be included on the releases, but with Collector's Editions planned for both sequels, fans of these horror comedies can look forward to a bunch of bonus goodies. We'll keep Daily Dead readers updated as more details surface. In the meantime, we have the official announcement from Scream Factory:

"Angela" is coming back to Scream Factory...

Next Summer we are planning to release Blu-ray Collector's Editions of both SLEEPAWAY II: UNHAPPY CAMPERS & SLEEPAWAY CAMP III: TEENAGE WASTELAND. Both films were requested heavily after we released the original this past May. No details to report at this time on extras, transfers, artwork etc.

As we start to wind down for the holidays (we will be out of the office from 12/24 - 1/5) we wanted to share with you this exciting news beforehand. We thank you for your loyal and undying support this crazy year (over 40 releases!) and we hope to entice you with more greatness and rediscoveries in 2015."

Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (synopsis via Blu-ray.com):

"Five years after the horrific slaughter at Camp Arawak, transgendered lunatic Angela Baker has become a counselor at Camp Rolling Hills. But Angela is about to teach 'bad campers' a brutal lesson in survival when these horny teens are sliced, stabbed, drilled, barbecued, chain sawed and worse. Renee Estevez co-stars in this outrageously vicious sequel to the original cult hit, filled with gratuitous nudity, rampant mullets, exclusive extras and gore galore. Welcome to Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers! Starring Pamela Springsteen, Renée Estevez, and Tony Higgins."

Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (synopsis via Blu-ray.com):

"Welcome to Camp New Horizons, where an autumn retreat brings together a group of obnoxious rich kids and surly city thugs for an 'experiment in sharing.' But when notorious transsexual psychopath Angela Baker (Pamela "yes, she's Bruce's sister, Springsteen) joins the horny teens, she shares a lesson in butchery with axes, trucks, firecrackers, lawnmowers and more. Academy Award nominee Michael J. Pollard (1967, Bonnie and Clyde) and Tracy (yes, she's Melanie's sister) Griffith co-star in this third wild installment of the cult body count saga, packed with all the cruel killings you love, the gratuitous nudity you expect and a bloody cabin full of exclusive extras you've only imagined. Welcome to Sleep Away Camp III: Teenage Wasteland! Starring Pamela Springsteen, Tracy Griffith, and Michael J. Pollard."
