Killer Party Time

 

 (themoviedatabase)

KILLER PARTY-1986-This opens with a movie at a drive-in. A girl then rebuffs her date's advances and goes for popcorn at a deserted concession stand. Then as a weird 80's pop rock band plays, the girl is attacked by zombies. Surprise! It's really a cheesy music video by a band called White Sister. Anyway, some sorority sisters hold their “goat night” in an old house where the owner, a woman who talks to her brother's grave, is beaten to death before the party starts. A killer is dressed in a diving suit and one girl becomes possessed. After she's killed, her friend Phoebe is possessed. It goes from slasher movie to “Evil Dead” rip-off. The diver murders are never explained. Paul Bartel is a teacher who's electrocuted. 

Director William Fruet also made FUNERAL HOME in 1980 and many TV episodes. Screenwriter Barry Cohen also penned FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER the same year.

Sorority Kill

 

HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW-1982-Some stupid college frat women want to hold a party in their frat house but their weird house mother Mrs. Slater (Lois Kelso Hunt) won't allow it. When a prank they play on her winds up killing her, they dump her body in the dirty pool and have the party. Someone starts killing them (although the first victim is a Weird Al Yankovic clone). A strange doctor, an hallucinogenic drug and Slater's thought to be dead son are the culprits as well as the doctor's fertility experiments. 

This horror story uses unusual colors and hallucinations to try and break out of the typical for the time slasher mode. The director Mark Rosman must have done something right as it did fairly well when first released and has gain a cult following. Couldn't shake off the familiar '80's slasher ending though...
