Hey y’all. Your favorite mod got distracted yesterday and forgot to post this week’s random movie. Without further ado, I present to you DVD 12769, The Slumber Party Massacre Collection. This set includes Slumber Party Massacre I, Slumber Party Massacre II, and Slumber Party Massacre III. If you inferred that all of these films involve multiple homicides at a sleepover party, you’d be right! Here’s our more official summary:
The collection contains: Slumber Party Massacre (A high school girl’s basketball team is stalked by an escaped mental patient with a portable drill) ; Slumber Party Massacre (The killer returns this time as a physical manifestation of a young girl’s nightmares, slaying more teens in the guise of an evil rocker with a deadly guitar) ; Slumber Party Massacre III (A new group of teenagers decide to have a slumber party when an unknown killer attacks).
These films end up somewhere on the spectrum between parody and straight horror, but The Slumber Party Massacre holds the distinction of being the first horror film where a woman (Amy Holden Jones) directed a majority-women cast.
