The first two 'Slumber Party Massacre' films are getting the 4K treatment, courtesy of Scream_Factory.
The slasher sub-genre has made a triumphant return to horror in the last couple of years. Ever since its prime in the '80s, the bloodthirsty sub-genre has been trying to recapture the magic of the original slasher era, and one of the mostly-forgotten franchises of that era was The Slumber Party Massacre. Now, thanks to Scream Factory, the first two films in the franchise are coming to 4K via a double pack in February.
The original Slumber Party Massacre came out in 1982 at the height of the slasher craze. It was a clear response to films like Halloween or Friday the 13th, and predates other iconic franchises like A Nightmare on Elm Street. While the characters and killer are pretty generic by today's standards, there’s still something so eerie about the “driller killer”. He’s a silent killer like Michael or Jason, but his unique drill weapon and jean jacket aesthetic make the film a fun campy slasher.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY However, while the original could be labeled as a forgettable slasher, 1987s Slumber Party Massacre II can be called anything but that. This insanely fun sequel takes the franchise in a musically supernatural direction. It's a bizarrely entertaining film full of disturbing imagery, amazingly memorable kills, and one of the best finales in horror history. No other slasher villain compares to Atanas Ilitch’s guitar wielding driller killer.
The Slumber Party Massacre 4K double pack releases on February 21, 2023, and you can preorder the set now on Scream Factory’s website for $34.99. While you wait, the films are also streaming on Shudder. Check out the trailer for Slumber Party Massacre II below:
