Alan (Sleepaway Camp)

Alan (Sleepaway Camp) “Your ass stinks!” Gender: Male Type: Hateable Foul-Mouth Camper, Bullied Vengeful Teen Age: 14 Species: Human Portrayed by: Michael Gibney Status: Alive Media of origin: Sleepaway Camp First appearance: Return to Sleepaway Camp

Alan is the main character of the critically panned direct-to-home video 2008 American slasher horror film, Return to Sleepaway Camp, a direct sequel to the original 1983 film Sleepaway Camp. He is portrayed by Michael Gibney.

Why He Also Stinks

1. The problem with Alan is that he is a generic bullied vengeful teenager, while also being completely unlikeable, mean-spirited, and downright a childish camp killer with also being a rehash of Angela/Peter Baker from the first original film.
2. The shirt he wears throughout the movie is filthy, stained, and disgusting while trying way too hard to make him a slasher villain.
3. He's very hypocritical; he doesn't want to be bullied but has shown to consistently bully other people.
4. He doesn't even obey the rules of the camp counselors and instead picks fights with them and insults them as well.
5. He has the personality and behavior of a 5-year-old spoiled troublemaking brat.
6. His catchphrase, "Your ass stinks!", is ridiculous to the nerve.
7. Like other people who were bullied, he never bothers to tell the camp counselors about his bullying problem; he instead just murders said bullies for his own “happy place”, proving that it's just an excuse for people like him to not be messed around.
8. He'll act like a toddler if something doesn't go his way and/or when he's being bullied by someone.
9. The actor that plays him, Michael Gibney, gives a straight-up awful performance, probably the worst offender in the film.
   • His tone of voice can get very whiny, infantile, irritating, and on your nerves very quickly.
10. He is by far one of the most unlikable and beastly protagonists in movie history.
11. He never grows up or even gets personal training to fight back if he wasn't a real killer or so.
12. In fact, he's so unlikeable that it's extremely difficult to root for and side with him in the film.
13. He maybe a bullied teenager, but this is just an excuse to sympathize with Alan from the audience despite he had absolute no redeeming qualities and barely tries to redeem himself.
14. In one scene, he threatens his bunkmates with a lighter and hairspray and even tries to kill Mickey with a knife.

The Only Redeeming Quality

1. He was revealed to not be the killer at the end of the movie.
