Robert Hiltzik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Hiltzik is a horror movie director best known for his 1983 summer camp slasher film Sleepaway Camp, which garnered a cult following. After letting a number of sequels be directed and written by others, Hiltzik returned in 2004 to direct Return to Sleepaway Camp, He has decided that this newest chapter would ignore the story lines of the other sequels, stating that he wants to pick up from where the original film had ended. The production was halted for quite some time, but according to Fangoria.com, the digital FX are being redone and the film will most likely be released sometime in 2008.

Hiltzik's wife, Michele Tatosian, was one of the producers for the original Sleepaway Camp.

Hiltzik had no idea that his Sleepaway Camp had gained such a devoted following over the years until he was contacted in March 2000 by Sleepawaycampmovies.com's Jeff Hayes who then arranged for him to record a commentary for the Anchor Bay Entertainment DVD.

Robert Hiltzik now works as a partner in one of New York City's most famous law firms.

He graduated from Williams College and continued to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts for film and then attended Hofstra University Law School. He lives in New York with his wife and three daughters.
