~ Angela Baker before strangling Demi to death with her guitar string. |
Angela Baker, also known as Peter Baker, is the main antagonist of the horror film series Sleepaway Camp.
She was portrayed by Felissa Rose in the original film, and by Pamela Springsteen in the second and third films.
Personality[]
Angela Baker is an emotionally damaged individual, caused both from the murder of her father and sibling right in front of her, then the emotional trauma caused from her aunt. In the first movie, Angela was quiet and meek and rarely talked to anyone, preferring to stay by herself. She rarely interacted with others and had minimal social cues, but she was shown to be sweet and polite to anyone she warms up to, such as Paul. Yet whenever someone attempts to make an advance on her, she shuts down to her cold state. After getting constantly abused and mistreated by the camp, she eventually snapped and went on a slaughtering spree, killing all her tormentors from her cabin mates to even mischievous children.
The second movie shows a more deranged Angela Baker. While she claims to have gotten better through medication, her actions make it clear that her mental state has deteriorated. She managed to keep up a cheerful and friendly persona, trying to lift up her campers mood and give them advice. However, she has delusional and messed up priorities about being a “good kid” and would willingly kill anyone who smokes, curses, has sex, flashes, acts slutty, bossy, rude, or perverted. She has a twisted sense of justice that encourages her to give punishment to any children she sees as "bad", in any way possible.
In the third movie, her personality mostly remains the same. However she has become a bit more reserved and quiet, being slightly sardonic and sarcastic towards those around her.
Biography[]
Past[]
Angela Baker was originally Peter Baker, and she lived in a small family that consisted of her father John Baker, and sister, the actual Angela. They lived out on a lake near a summer camp and would often use the area for recreational activities. On one casual summer day, their small boat accidentally flipped. John and the children began to head ashore. Yet as the family swam, a pair of teenagers, who pulled a water skier in a motorboat, failed to notice them in time and hit them, killing John, while injuring Peter and Angela. Peter was sent to live with his eccentric aunt, Dr. Martha Thomas, and cousin, Richard "Ricky" Thomas. However, because Martha already had Ricky, she did not want another son, and instead took Peter in on the condition that he took up the identity of his sister, whom she assumed also died in the accident. Peter was therefore forced to cross-dress and act as the daughter Martha always wanted.
Sleepaway Camp[]
Eight years after the incident, Angela, and Ricky were sent to Camp Arawak by Martha. Due to her introverted nature, Angela was ridiculed and bullied. Her main tormentors were mainly fellow camper Judy, and Camp Counselor, Meg. During lunchtime, Angela, who did not eat for some time, was taken into the kitchen by Head Counselor, Ronnie to see if there was anything in there that she would like to eat. After she was left with the Head Cook, Artie, he took her into the backroom with the intent to molest her. Before any harm could come to Angela, Rick found her while Artie was in the midst of unfastening his pants. The two of them fled from the kitchen after Artie threatened him. After the incident in the pantry, Artie became seriously injured when he was knocked off a chair by an unseen figure while he tended to a large pot of boiling water, which in turn spilled on his face, arms, and hands. Artie's injuries were deemed accidental by camp owner Mel Kostic, who paid off the rest of his kitchen staff to kept the event quiet.
The next day, Ricky and Paul played baseball with the older boys, Kenny, Mike, Billy, and the rest of their cabin. After Ricky won the game, Kenny talked with Mike on how to get back at Ricky. Later that night in the recreation cabin, Angela was accosted by Kenny and Mike, who began to mock her. This prompted Ricky and Paul to get into a fight with the boys in which several others joined in on, therefore fulfilling the plan on getting back at Ricky. After the brawl was broken up by Gene, Ricky and the rest of the boys in the fight left, while Paul stayed behind and succeeded in befriending Angela by telling her about the misadventures that he and Ricky got into when they were younger. Later, out on the lake, Kenny was found having been drowned. His death was also ruled accidental by Mel, despite suspicion from camp employees and the police. Later that day, Angela was hit in the face with a water balloon by Billy. Mel ended up grounding Billy for a week, along with Billy's friends, and unfortunately Ricky. Billy was killed when he got locked in a washroom stall, which then had a beehive dropped in it. These incidents caused Mel to grow suspicious of Ricky, believing he had killed those who bullied Angela.
The relationship between Angela and Paul grew strained when Paul attempted to make out with Angela on the beach. This seductive approach caused Angela to have a flashback to her youth, back when she was still Peter, and he and his sister were witnessing their father in bed with his lover, Lenny. Paul became confused and angered by Angela's rejection of his advances. Because of this, he was easily seduced by Judy, who lured him away from a game of Capture the Flag and into the woods where they would make out before being found by Angela and Ricky. Guilty about what he did, Paul attempted to explain himself to Angela while on the beach. As Paul talked to Angela, he was shooed away by Judy and Meg, who threw Angela into the water. After she was taken out of the lake by Lifeguard Hal and had sand flung at her by several small children, a clearly disturbed Angela was comforted by Ricky, who swore revenge on her aggressors. After the affair at the beach, Meg began to prepare for a date with Mel. However, as she was in the shower, Angela stabbed a knife through the walls and into her back, slicing it open. After Meg, Angela went on a killing spree and murdered Judy, Mel, and four of the five campers that threw sand at her and Ricky.
Angela then went down to the beach to meet up with Paul per his request. She suggested they go skinny dipping, to which he readily agreed. Yet after they undressed, Angela branded a knife and decapitated Paul. With him dead, she began humming while cradling Paul's head in her lap. Two counselors, Ronnie and Susie, lured by her humming, approached her cautiously. Angela dropped Paul's head before standing up, exposing her male genitalia and screaming at them, thus ending the movie by revealing her true identity as Peter Baker.
Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers[]
Sometime after the events of the first movie, Angela was arrested and put in a unnamed Psychiatric Hospital. Once institutionalized, she had a sex-change operation and truly became female. Now going by the name Angela Johnson, she became a Camp Counselor at Camp Rolling Hills with a new, more enthusiastic, open, and unstable personality.
Phoebe Cates, one of the Campers, was telling the story of The Camp Arawak Massacre during a campfire. Overhearing her, Angela interrupted the story and ordered Phoebe to come with her back to her cabin. While the two were walking, Angela called Phoebe a slut and told he she did not deserve to be at the camp before threatening to send her home. Shocked by her threat, Phoebe insulted Angela and told her to go ahead, acting like she didn't care. Angela then went into the woods and returned with a log, before using it to bash Phoebe on the head, killing her. She then took out her knife and cut out Phoebe's tongue, claiming it to be her punishment for having a "filthy mouth". Angela covered up Phoebe's death by announcing to the girls and Camp Owner, Uncle John, that she sent Phoebe home due to her misbehavior.
The next day, in the cafeteria, Uncle John promoted Angela to Counselor of the week and gave her the stage to sing the "Happy Camper Song" to start the day. Sometime later, Angela went into the forest and found the Shote Sisters: Jodie and Brooke, smoking marijuana and drinking, while singing a corrupted version of the "Happy Camper Song". Seeing this disgusted Angela, yet rather than confronting them, she reluctantly let them go. Only to find them continuing with their acts the next day, and this time fornicating a boy. After sending the boy away, she took the two sisters, passed out and drugged, and killed Jodie by burning her on a grill. Brooke woke up to discover Jodie's charred remains before having Angela dump gasoline on her as well. Before finishing her off, Angela gave her a Nancy Reagan quote: "Say NO to Drugs", and threw a lit match on her, setting her ablaze.
That night, several boys performed a Panty Raid on the Girl's cabin. Angela broke up the raid and sent all the boys back to their cabin, yet the girls had already planned on doing a Jock-Strap raid in retaliation. Angela arrived to the boy's cabin to break up the raid as well, but was inadvertently flashed by camper, Mare. Enraged, Angela tells Mare that she will drive her home, and directs her to her car. After they both get in, Angela pulled out a power drill and murdered Mare right in her passenger's seat.
After killing Mare, Angela went to an abandoned cabin to enjoy some peace and quiet. In the morning, she was approached by Molly, who talked with her about her relationship with Sean along with her trepidations due to fellow camper Ally's feelings for him as well. Having talked on a personal level with her, Angela took a liking to Molly and began to target Ally.
Later, Angela walked around the cabins and discovered two boys, Charlie and Emilio, looking through peeping tom photos of the girls. Angela confronts them, and becomes shocked to discover a picture of herself in their collection. She quickly snatched the photos away from them before leaving.
Back at the camp, two campers, Anthony and Judd, openly declared that they intended to get back at Angela as they were making some costumes. The two had make costumes of Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees and went out at night to try and scare her. Angela however, had overheard their plans, and decided to go after them using her own costume of Leatherface, using Mare's skinned face. While the two were out in the woods, Anthony, who was dressed as Freddy, ended up misplacing his finger knives. When he found them perched upon a log, they were being covertly used by Angela, who then used them to slash his throat. With Anthony dead, Angela took her Chainsaw and crept up from behind Judd. The moment Judd turned around, she revved her weapon and slashed his leg before mutilating the rest of his body.
With her two pranksters dead, Angela set her sights on Ally. While Ally was in the bathroom, Angela left a note on the mirror, giving her the idea that it was from Sean. The note asked her to meet at the Abandoned Cabin. Yet when Ally arrived, she was confronted by Angela instead, much to her shock. Angela began to openly criticize Ally's lifestyle, which Ally in response, turned her back on Angela. However, the moment she turned around, Angela stabbed her in the back. She then took the now-injured Ally into the Cabin's outhouse and forcibly shoved her into the hole, drowning her in feces and leeches.
Angela returned to the camp with another kill on her hands. Her façade of innocence was put at risk when she talked with camper, Demi Moore. Demi revealed to her that she phoned the houses of all the campers who she supposedly "sent home" and found out they had never returned to their families. Fearing she would reveal her actions, Angela realized she had to kill Demi. Grabbing a guitar string, Angela snuck up on Demi while she was combing her hair, and strangled her to death. Afterwards, camper Lea arrived at the scene to find Demi's corpse. Angela, who had hidden behind some curtains, came out wielding a knife and quickly finished Lea off as well, accusing her of intending to snitch.
With Lea dead, the only camper left in the cabin was Molly. Yet now that all the other campers were gone, Angela was confronted by Uncle John the next morning and fired for "sending them all home". Upset at losing her job, she went back to the abandoned cabin to cry. Sean and Molly follow to her quiet place and stay by to comfort her. While they were talking, Sean wandered away and went into the cabin out of curiosity. Wherein he discovers it full of the corpses of all the campers Angela had murdered. Upon seeing this act of mass murder, Sean fell to his knees. As he was dry heaving, Angela came in with a stick and quickly knocked him out. Now having been found out, she tied both Sean and Molly up and held them captive.
Since both Molly and Sean were gone for several hours, Camp Counselor T.C. had gone looking for them. While running through the woods and calling out their names T.C. came across the cabin and entered. Only to be immediately attacked by Angela, who threw battery acid at him, melting his face and killing him instantly. Seeing Angela take another life, Sean realized that she was the Camp Arawak killer. Initially, Angela tried to convince Sean that she was cured, yet Sean stubbornly doubted her as he was the son of a cop who helped arrest her. Hearing this, Angela grabbed her machete and swiftly decapitated Sean in front of Molly.
After killing Sean, Angela left Molly alone in the cabin. Later, she returned with the corpse of her next victim, a camper named Matt. While she was gone however, Molly successfully untied herself and hid, arming herself with a tree branch. The moment Angela entered the cabin, she was attacked and beaten down by Molly. Molly then fled into the woods, leading to a chase between the two. Angela tried to tackle Molly a few times, but ended up getting slashed and cut by Molly's knife. Eventually, they ended up on a ledge. Angela continued to approach Molly, reassuring that she wouldn't hurt her, while asking her to give her the knife. Molly continued to back away, and ended up slipping off the ledge and falling a few feet, knocking her out. Angela cried for her, remarking how she almost made it.
Angela later returned to camp that night to kill Uncle John, Charlie, Emilio, and camper Rob Darrinco. When their corpses were discovered by camper Diane Lane, Angela snuck up on her before killing her as well. With Diane, all of the campers save for Molly were dead. Angela then tried to leave by hitch hiking a ride from a truck lady. Yet she was quickly put off by the Lady's accent and smoking habits, and finished her off as well. While Angela was finishing her killing streak, Molly woke up and ran out of the woods and on the road. A truck stopped to pick her up, much to her relief. Yet upon realizing Angela was driving, Molly screamed as the movie ended.
