8	Now fully grown up, Angela has been recently released from the mental institute and is now working as a camp counselor at [[SummerCampy Camp Rolling Hills]]. Unfortunately for the campers and other counselors, she is still a complete nutbag (with added bonus of high moral standards) and kills anyone who she deems "a naughty camper".

10	This film, and its back-to-back shot continuation ''[[Film/SleepawayCampIIITeenageWasteland Teenage Wasteland]]'', venture into more comedic side of things and has more winking approach on its subject, since it would be hard to get much darker than the original.
11
12	!!This film has the examples of:
13
14	* EightiesHair: TC, Anthony, and Rob have mullets.
15	* AlphaBitch: Ally has shades of this, being a stuck up, arrogant cheerleader who bullies Molly because she's jealous that Sean likes her.
16	* AffablyEvil: Angela rarely stops being friendly despite being a AxCrazy transgender psychopath who kills anyone at the drop of a hat. It's when she stops being friendly and sweet that's when you need to be really scared considering that's when she's decided to kill you for your bad behavior.
17	* AnswerCut: Ally, complaining about Angela's orders of covering her breasts, says "who's gonna see me anyway?" Cut to two boys with a camera behind the window of the girl's cabin.

19	* AxCrazy: Angela, as it doesn't take much to send her spiraling into spree killing.
20	* TheBadGuyWins: Angela kills everyone (though Molly's fate isn't revealed until the sequel) and gets away with it.
21	* BerserkButton: Angela, as a psychopathic killer has quite a few-'fornicating', illegal drugs, bringing up the fact that she used to be a guy, alcohol, and doing anything mean to Molly. She'd get more in the next movie too.

23	* ChainsawGood: Angela confronts Judd, who was planning to scare her dressed as [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], by being dressed as [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] and kills him with [[ChainsawGood a chainsaw]].
24	* CoversAlwaysLie:
25	** [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/bf/Sleepaway_Camp_2.jpg/180px-Sleepaway_Camp_2.jpg The American poster]] for the film features a girl posing as Angela who isn't Pamela Springsteen.
26	** At a 2019 horror convention, this photo was re-enacted (complete with props and backpack) by none other than... Felissa Rose! (Fans quickly Photoshopped this version into [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D8qtTxRVUAATpAa?format=jpg&name=medium faux 1980's VHS covers]], and also [[https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1153/5542/products/Felissa-Rose-Happy-Camper-16x20-Poster_1024x1024.jpg?v=1595949382 turned that into a drawn poster]].)
27	* ComedyHorror: This film is much less serious than the original, playing up the humor and having some victims die in more slapstick ways, as well as featuring more sex and nudity.
28	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Four words: [[spoiler:[[TheCanKickedHim DROWNED IN AN OUTHOUSE]].]]
29	* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Angela kills TC with acid from his own car battery.]]
30	* EasySexChange: Angela has apparently had herself surgically changed into a woman since the events of the first film, where she was merely a CreepyCrossdresser forced to feign femininity by her crazy aunt.
31	* EyeScream: Charlie's and Emilio's bodies are found eyeless.
32	* {{Fainting}}: Molly faints after she witnesses Angela decapitating her LoveInterest Sean.
33	* FinalGirl: Molly, although the ending leaves her fate ambiguous. [[spoiler: The third film reveals that she didn't survive.]]
34	* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the breakfast scene it's announced to the whole camp that TC's car battery was stolen overnight. Later, [[spoiler:Angela uses the acid from it to kill him.]]
35	* GhostStory: At the beginning of the movie, the campers tell the story of the massacre at Camp Arrowak from the first film.
36	* GenkiGirl: Angela has become a very energetic and happy serial spree killer. That still doesn't stop her from killing anyone who misbehaves in front of her considering that she punishes bad campers by killing them off in very gruesome and over-the-top ways.
37	* HaventYouSeenXBefore
38	-->'''Ally:''' What are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a pair of boobs before?
39	* HopeSpot: After Molly has regained consciousness, she makes her way to a road and sees an oncoming truck, which leads her to flag it down to escape the camp and warn the authorities of Angela's actions. Then it turns out that the driver is actually Angela and Molly has no other option but to scream. The sequel reveals that she didn't escape.
40	* HotterAndSexier: There is a significant amount of explicit sex and nudity in this sequel while the original only featured a brief non-graphic sex scene in a flashback.
41	* JerkAss: Nearly everyone at Camp Rolling Hills are unlikable Jerkasses (with the exception of Molly and Sean) but the biggest Jerkasses are Ally and Charlie and Emilio considering that the former's an AlphaBitch who antagonizes Molly just because Sean shows interest in her whereas Charlie and Emilio are peeping toms who take pictures of the girls while they're undressing. Thankfully they get their just desserts (courtesy of Angela).
42	* KillItWithFire: Angela barbecues the Schote sisters alive one by one for being pot smokers.
43	-->'''Angela:''' Say no to drugs.
44	* [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]]: While she might not really be her sister, Angela acts as this for Molly until the end.
45	* LaserGuidedKarma: Ally gets her comeuppance when Angela stabs her in the back and shoves her entire body into an outhouse toilet after she insulted Molly.
46	* MsFanservice: Ally and Mare, who frequently show off their boobs.
47	* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: Angela keeps the bodies of her victims in an abandoned cabin, and, seemingly in her less lucid moments, treats them like they're awake and conscious despite the fact that they're dead.
48	* NightmareDreams: Angela has nightmares from the things she caused, indicating some level of guilt. It's also an excuse to resort to StockFootage.
49	* NiceGuy: Sean (and to a lesser degree, Rob and TC) are the few campers who are legitimately happy to be here.
50	* NumberedSequels: With a subtitle.
51	* OffWithHisHead: After hearing from the bound Sean just how much he knows about her, Angela cuts his head off. She then places his head inside a broken television set ("look who's on TV!").
52	* PantyThief: The boys arrange a panty raid on the girls' cabin, and they answer with a counter raid to get them back. Angela crashes both instances.
53	* PetTheDog: There's at least one moment where Angela does console Molly.
54	* RealityIsUnrealistic: When Ally sees blood-covered Angela, she comments that it's cute, but it looks like ketchup.
55	* ReallyGetsAround: Ally, to the point that she makes up her own version of the "Happy Campers" song all about how much she likes to fuck.
56	* RememberTheNewGuy: Averted in the scene were one of the campers discovers the bodies in Angela's cabin. The camper was not mentioned and didn't appear in the movie until that scene, and it appears the only reason the character exists is to be killed.
57	* RuleOfPool: Ally tells Rob that if he throws her into the pool, she'll kill him. He puts this threat to the test immediately.
58	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Early on in the film, one of the younger campers complains about not liking camp and demands to go home. She does go home, which is a good idea considering that this was before Angela's killing spree really takes off.
59	* ShoutOut:
60	** One poster of the film features Angela with a back-pack that has [[Franchise/FridayThe13th a hockey mask]] and [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet a bladed glove]] in it.
61	** [[ThemeNaming Almost every camper is named after a member of the]] Creator/BratPack, with the exception being the unnamed girl who was sent home early in the film. Elderly camp head Uncle John is a reference to Brat Pack go-to director Creator/JohnHughes.
62	* SincerityMode: The counselors have set up a run where blindfolded campers have to stick their hands into various bowls, which supposedly have gross things in them. Angela of course has the genuine article inside hers.
63	--> '''Diane:''' Angela, what's really in there?
64	--> '''Angela:''' Dead teenager's brains.
65	* SlashedThroat: Angela kills Anthony, who was planning to scare her dressed as [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], by slashing his throat with his own bladed glove.
66	* TheStoner: The Schote sisters, aka "the shit sisters", who are stoned all the time.
67	* StraightEdgeEvil: Angela does not smoke, drink, or use illegal drugs and if she catches you doing any of those things, look out!
68	* ThisIsADrill: Angela drives the naughty Mare to the edge of the camp, and kills her with a drill when she refuses to apologize for her bad behaviour. And it goes through the head.
69	* TokenMinority: Both boy and girl groups include one African-American member.
70	* TongueTrauma: After killing Phoebe by hitting her in the head with a tree log, Angela cuts off her tongue for "having a filthy mouth".
71	* UrbanLegends: The first movie is considered to be one of these around the time period of this movie. The campers in the opening tell its story around the campfire.
72	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Angela seems to operate, or rather, ''think'', like this, since most of the people she kills are people she believes to be bad campers.
