Slumber Party Massacre: The Collection [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
I'm not really going to review the films. Usually these reviews are meant to be about the product itself, so here goes.
The SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE is a somewhat average fun low budget satire slasher.
SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II heads more to the comedic theme. It was a so bad it's good film, filled with insanity and bad acting.
SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE III goes straight to serious horror. The story was actually the best of the three, but some of the acting and silliness brought it down, to being better than II, but not as fun as the original.
Now for the DVD set. You get 2 discs. One with The SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, and the other with the two sequels.
The first two films are presented in their theatrical releases, however I get the impression that SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II was originally shot in full screen. It still looks good in widescreen, and doesn't seem to lose much from the screen. All they've done really is crop the top and bottom to make it look widescreen. The third film is presented in its original full screen format.
There are decent extras where you get:
. An all new three part documentary called Sleepless Nights: Revisiting The Slumber Party Massacres. That talks about all three films.
. An audio commentary by the cast and crew for each film.
. A still gallery.
. Theatrical trailers for the three films.
Disk 1 - The SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE - Contains the actual film. The three part documentary. A still gallery. The trailers for all three films. An audio commentary by the director: Amy Holden Jones, the actor Michael Villella who played the killer: Russ Thorn, an actress Debra Deliso who played the blonde girl: Kimberly, a webmaster fan: Tony Brown, and a brief presence of Brinke Stevens the actress who played the girl killed in the school: Linda.
Disk 2 - SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II + III - Contains the actual film. A still gallery. A poster shoot. And an audio commentary by the director: Deborah Brock, the producer: Don Daniel, and the webmaster fan: Tony Brown. SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE III contains the actual film. A still gallery. And an audio commentary by the director: Sally Mattison, an actress: Brandi Burkett who played Diane, another actress Hope Marie Carlton who played Janine, and the webmaster fan: Tony Brown.

In 1982, Roger Corman decided to muster up his own spin on the emerging slasher trend. With his New World studio backing up-and-coming director Amy Jones, the first feminist slasher film was born--Slumber Party Massacre. Rather than making a straight up slasher, Jones reworked Rita Mae Brown's spoofy script (originally titled "Don't Open the Door") into a straight faced satire of the entire cinematic movement. The film, featuring a killer wielding an oversized electric drill who stalks a group of teenage girls during their slumber parties, became a major success for Corman, who followed it by green lighting two sequels and a series of spin-offs (Sorority House Massacre and its sequel; Hard To Die, Cheerleader Massacre, and more). This collection from Shout! Factory is a great way to rediscover these great 80's slasher films. Now I know that some viewers who might be tired of the cliched and formulaic style of these slasher films, but what the series does is make things more interesting and much more creative. The girls aren't you're typical slasher film victims, some of their stupid acts are usually done intentionally as a wink at the horror genre, which makes things more fun and they do usually fight back.
In Slumber Party Massacre (1982) an escaped murderer Russ Thorn (Michael Villella) targets a girls basketball team on the night of their big slumber party, as hosted by the popular-girl-with-a-heart-of-gold, Trish (Michelle Michaels). What does he bring to the party, you ask? A giant electric power drill and a taste for the Grand Guignol. As the body count rises and the girls become cognizant of how 'screwed' they really are (heh), the shy girl next Valerie (Robin Stille) and her bratty little sister Courtney (Jennifer Meyers) decide to crash the party. Despite being directed by a female director, the film surprisingly has a lot of nudity including a long shower, and the gore scenes were terrific not to mention the great humor including the scene with the dead girl in the fridge. Sure, there's some poor acting and plot holes involved in this film, but that just adds to the B-movie fun, and makes this film the most enjoyable of the series.
Slumber Party Massacre II (1987) we pick up with Courtney (now played by Crystal Bernard) on the eve of her 17th birthday. She's being plagued by awful nightmares, and with her band (yes, she's in a cheesy new wave rock band now) going off to a condo for the weekend, she decides to ditch visiting her hospitalized big sister in favor of partying on her big day. Of course, things go awry when her dreams of the now 50's rockabilly Driller Killer (Atanas Illitch who likes like a reject from Grease) start spilling over into reality. Things go pretty much how you'd expect, only this time there are more musical numbers and the drill doubles as a sweet electric guitar. The film did have a couple of corny scenes (the rockabilly songs were awful), it was probably the weakest film in the series and barely delivers and has no connection with the first film!.
Slumber Party Massacre III (1990) tries to bring back the respectability of its origins, but ditches the sense of humor completely, replacing it with a sort of stark mean-spiritedness that might alienate fans. The murder mystery angle orients itself toward the type of rough misogyny commonplace in rape/revenge Grindhouse greats Last House On The Left and I Spit On Your Grave, as filtered through the structure of the original Friday the 13th (which was itself an Agatha Christie-esque plot). I won't spoil the big reveal. It's pretty obvious from the get-go, but slasher fans might have a fun time playing Guess Who with all the red herrings. When the big reveal finally comes, it shifts the film from playfully cheesy early '90s slasher, to an extremely brutal assault on the glossed-over tropes of the genre. It was a good slasher, don't get me wrong but it's no where near as fun as the first film.
Shout! Factory has given these three films some love with newly remastered transfers for the first two films. The first film is presented in 1.78.1 anamorphic widescreen and looks to be the best of the set. There's some minor print damage, but it's not too bad. Overall, the movie looks very good. For SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II, the 1.85.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer also looks quite good. Sadly, the third film is presented in 1.33.1 fullframe, and doesn't quite have the same care as the other two. All three films each get a feature-length commentary. For the first film, we get an commentary featuring moderator Tony Brown, director/producer Amy Jones, actor Michael Villella, and actress Debra Deliso. Brown also runs the SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE fansite, The Old Hocksetter Place, and knows his stuff regarding the series.
The big extra is the all-new documentary on the making of all three films in the series entitled Sleepless Nights: Revisiting The Slumber Party Massacre. You know this one's going to be good when you start off with home video footage of a kid opening his presents on Christmas morning, and discovering that he's been given Slumber Party Massacre, much to his delight. This documentary interviews all three directors - Amy Jones, Deborah Brock and Sally Mattison. Finally, there are trailers for each film, and Image Galleries featuring original artwork and rare behind-the-scenes shots. As an extra bonus, Shout! Factory have done up an excellent retrospective essay included in the DVD liner notes by Jason Paul Collum recounting his history with the series, and kept the transparent keepcase for a double-sided cover art.

Good ol' slasher fun, with a few gory bumps in the road. (minor spoilers)

Format:DVD
The ever suprising Shout! Factory keeps consistantly blowing me away with their breathtaking, film geek-friendly releases of content ranging from popular cult TV like "MST3K" and "Freaks and Geeks" to the "Gamera" monster film series and the seemingly non-stop "Roger Corman Collection". Here, they release the infamous, beloved "Slumber Party Massacre" trilogy for the first time on DVD for horror fans everywhere. All 3 films come complete with all-new commentaries, as well as photo galleries and a "making of" feature and a trailer for the first film. Good stuff.
"The Slumber Party Massacre" (1982)- A jean coat-wearing, drill-toting maniac escapes from a mental institution and makes his way to a slumber party being held by cheery, athletic girls. Who will come out alive?! Infamously developed from a screenplay by femenist Rita Mae Brown, this is a fun thriller that lightly makes fun of the genre, but actually mostly gives us a straightforward classic thanks to a number of darkly comical moments, likable characters, and some gooey death scenes. Reccomended viewing for all slasher and horror fans.
"Slumber Party Massacre II" (1987)- An all-girl rock band, including a survivor of the first film, head up to a high-class neighborhood for a weekend of practice and good old fun. But the survivor suffers from increasingly bizzare nightmares and visions, including a punk rock reincarnation of the previous film's killer, who may or may not really be coming to get them. Here it is, the infamous SPM sequel. Infamous, for it's sequence of events and ending(s) which considerably blur the lines of reality. It is because of this reason that SPM2 is my least favorite of the series. The ending whole is like a big, convoluted middle finger to the audience, who has been waiting patiently for nearly 40 MINUTES for any sort of major horror content; much before that is made up of semi-comical teen antics. On the upside however, we're treated to more gory kills and other wild makeup FX concerning the survivor's grisly hallucinations, more likable characters, and a scene-chewing, only occasionally annoying killer who wields a stupidly over-the-top but memorable take on the first movie's murder weapon, all of it adding to the film's zany but still overall nonsensical atmosphere. Worth a watch, but don't expect your typical slasher movie.
"Slumber Party Massacre III" (1990)- In this quasi-remake of the first SPM, a group of lovely young ladies have a slumber party to top off a long day of beach volleyball and staring at boys. But one by one they get knocked off by another drill-toting maniac who seems to be any one of more than a few unexpected guests. Made long after the slasher genre hit rock bottom, SPM3 is still a suprisingly decent followup to the last two movies. Although the acting is a bit more sub-par and and the death scenes not quite as elaborate, the characters are still a cute and likable group of close-nit girls. Most notable about this entry, however, is its dark feel. SPM3 abandons the darkly comical nature of the first movie and the surreal zaniness of the second in favor of a more grim tone, packing in sadistically prolonged death scenes, girl beatings, and even an attempted rape, making easily the darkest of the trilogy. Regardless, despite the darker, cheaper feel, it's still a good watch and is a good look at what some slasher movies were like past their prime.

SLUMBER PARTY SETS STANDARD FOR SLASHER FILM
25 May 2011
By Michael
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I) The five star rating is based upon the strength of the first film. The movie starts out with organ music, the type you would expect to see in a Vincent Price movie. The first nude scene comes quickly as Corman always shoots the all important scenes, such as young girls getting dressed first thing in the morning. What is most funny about the film was the choice of murder weapon, a battery powered drill. Anyone who has ever used one of these things on a human knows that it is okay for flesh, but as soon as you hit bone it stops or slows down and runs out the battery. Sometimes it spins back.
The movie contains several noteworthy scenes such as the "peeper" scene which carried over into the two sequels. This one also had the memorable shower scene (pass the soap please). For you youngsters, this was an era when 18 year old teens could legally buy alcohol. The Jim Jones and Kool-Aid reference was also of the era. Note the telephone color co-ordination of red and turquoise, all in the same model. BTW, the correct way to ease drop on an extension phone is to disconnect the receiver, unscrew the mouth piece and remove the diaphragm, reconnect the receiver then listen.
II) Courtney survived the first one and has bad dreams going into the second one. She is in an all girl band who go away for the weekend. They have a pillow fight and are spied upon by boys. Only one girl goes topless for the lone nude scene. The killer in this one is a greaser from Courtney's dream. He has more character than the killer in the first film, but this movie makes less sense and doesn't have the "fun" aspect of the first one.
III) This movie is the final installment as it starts out with beach volleyball. This time when the girls get together they play striptease until the boys walk in on them. More nudity than the second one, but the killer was more boring.
The first film is worth owning as a cult classic. The other two leave something to be desired. Unless you can find the first film at a decent discount, you might as well get the 3 pack with the commentary.

You Bring the Pizza, I'll Bring the Drill

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Trish Devereaux (Michelle Michaels), an 18 year old teen decides to throw a slumber party while her parents are away and their neighbor Mr. Contant (Rigg Kennedy) is given the job of checking in on the girls during the night. That morning, she gets up, dresses and heads to school. Meanwhile, a mass murderer with a fondness for power drills, Russ Thorn (Michael Villella), has escaped from prison, killed a telephone repair woman (Jean Vargas) with a power drill and steals her van. Trish meets up with her friends Kim (Debra Deliso), Jackie (Andree Honore) and Diane (Gina Hunter) and the girls on her basketball team. The new girl, Valerie Bates (a sweet Robin Stille) is invited by Trish, but refuses after hearing Diane talking cruelly about her.
Russ Thorn watches the girls leave school from the van and a girl named Linda (Brinke Stevens) goes back inside the school to retrieve something, but is attacked by Thorn and murdered with a power drill. That evening, the party and the bloody decimation begins of the girls, as they smoke pot and talk about boys. Valerie lives next door conveniently and is babysitting her younger sister Courtney (a refreshingly innocent if slightly annoying Jennifer Meyers). Diane's boyfriend John (Jim Boyce) and two other guys from school Jeff (David Millbern) and Neil (Joe Johnson) who spy on the girls undressing. Thorn kills Mr. Contant, drilling through his neck, and meanwhile, Courtney is begging Valerie to go crash the party, but Valerie protests. All hell is about to break lose at this party.
Probably the best known of the popular "girls have a sleepover and get murdered one-by-one" subgenre of horror movies. "Slumber Party Massacre" is fun, a little bit cheesy, and quite outdated. The film moves at a snail's pace throughout the first half and when the killer is reveled, he isn't exactly frightening. This is a prime example of ripe 80's cheese. That being said, this film is a blast. Sure it a bit slow but the deaths are pretty damn interesting and it is nice to see a final girl who is actually willing to fight back. At a lean 75 minutes, this is the kind of meat and potatoes horror movie that Hollywood simply doesn't make anymore. "Slumber Party Massacre" has the breasts, the blood and the beauties. What else could you want from an 80's slasher flick?
Interesting Facts about SPM:
* The film was given a limited release theatrically in the United States by New World Pictures in November 1982. It was later released on VHS by Embassy Home Entertainment.
* Director Amy Holden Jones made a shot a promo film of the original script's prologue for a $1,000 dollars so she could get a directing job from Roger Corman. Corman was so impressed by the promo that he asked Jones to make a feature length movie from the script.
* Andree Honore is the only cast member featured on the original theatrical one sheet poster. The blonde woman lying on the floor is late actress Jillian Kesner.
