Massacre: Very Popular in the '80's

 (wikipedia)



SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE-1982-Some college bimbos are terrorized by a power tool carrying escaped psycho, Russ Thorn (Michael Villella). Unpopular girl next door Val (Robin Stille), taking care of her younger sister Courtney (Jenifer Meyers) is also later terrorized. Conceived as a parody, it's done as a straight slasher film and though it contains a lot of the usual cliches it has some intentional humor, suspense and is more entertaining than a lot of the crap made around the same time. 

The screenplay is by feminist writer Rita Mae Brown. The director Amy Jones only made three more movies after this and mainly became a screenwriter (MYSTIC PIZZA, THE RELIC). It was also the debut film for future “scream queen” Brinke Stevens. Unfortunately Robin Stille committed suicide in 1996.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Thanks for reading!
