A caretaker at a summer camp is burned when a prank goes tragically wrong. After several years of intensive treatment at hospital, he is released back into society, albeit missing some social skills.

Movie Quote(s):
- Sophie: Hey Todd... over here!
-
Michelle: What are we going to do now? Todd: All right, we'll all split up and search this whole area. The canoes have to be around here somewhere. Sophie: What happens if we don't find them? Todd: Then we'll build a raft, or something. [the campers murmur and grumble]

Orderly: How long have you been working here? Intern: I just started working Sunday. Orderly: You like your job? Intern: Yeah, it's fine. Orderly: Well, when you've seen what I've seen, you'll soon change your mind. Hey listen, after two months of working here, you'll start to feel like an old man. Guys like you won't last five minutes. Hey, there's this guy down the hall in the burn center I'd like you to see. After you see this guy, you'll never want to come back in here again. Man, this guy is so burned, he's cooked! A fucking Big Mac, overdone! You know what I mean? And, it's a miracle that he's still alive. If it was me, I'd prefer to be dead. No way I'd want to be this freak. He's a monster, man! I've been working here 10 years and I'm telling you, I've never seen anything like this. Intern: Listen, I've got to be... Orderly: Come on, in here, man. Intern: Look, I've got to go. Orderly: Hey, you want to be a doctor, right? This is what you've got to see. This is where it's at!

[last lines] Camp Counselor: They never found his body, but they say his spirit lives in the forest. This forest. A maniac, a thing no longer human. They say he lives on whatever he can catch. Eats them raw, alive maybe. And every year he picks on a summer camp and seeks his revenge for the terrible things those kids did to him. Every year he kills. Right now he's out there. Watching. Waiting. So don't look; he'll see you. Don't breathe; he'll hear you. Don't move; you're dead!
Movie Trivia:
- Feature film debut of Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens, and Holly Hunter.
-
Many people also claim that there was an early appearance by Laurence Fishburne, as the hospital orderly whose arm is grabbed by Cropsy's horrifically burnt hand just before the opening title sequence. This actor was actually Mansoor Najeeullah
-
This is the film that launched the careers of acclaimed producers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein. Their mother Miriam Weinstein is also a pre-production assistant on the film.
-
Larry Joshua is actually older than the two main counselors.
-
Actors had trouble holding up the garden sheers to the liking of director Tony Maylam, so in a lot of the scenes in which costumed Cropsy kills (most notably the infamous raft scene), he played the killer himself.
