31 days of horror Year 2 day 11


Slumber Party Massacre-Shout Factory release

Haven't seen this one in over 20 years. Holds up pretty well and I noticed lots more of the background jokes this viewing. 2 sisters throw a slumber party and a maniac with a power drill stalks and kills them. Simple plot did with a pretty small budget,but somehow it all works and forms a pretty decent slasher film. Most of the FX are good. Another stand out that seems to get overlooked is how the killer moves and his body language. He has this kinda half sidestep half creeping walk that is very strange. This disc also had a documentary,"Sleepless Nights",that was about all 3 films in this series. Lots of interesting stories are told about all of the films. But if you have already read the Femme Fatale issue all about SPM ,you have already heard 80% of what is covered in the documentary. The disc also has a commentary with the directer,a guy that host the kinda offical SPM/SHM fan site. Pretty good commentary that offers up some new informantion. Slumber party massacre gets a A.
