Slumber Party Masscare II (1987)


The Slumber Party Massacre movies — there are three — are awesome because they serve as both credible slasher films and parodies of slasher films. All three are written and directed by women, and they’re highly aware of the gender dynamics and symbolism in these kinds of movies. (The bad guy’s weapon of choice is a drill.)

Slumber Party II is the best because it goes absolutely all out. The sorta rockabilly villain (Atanas Ilitch, above) is an incredibly charismatic cross between Elvis, Michael Jackson and a slew of other music icons, and uses a drill shaped like a guitar and he prances and dances his way through a series of attacks.

All three Slumber Party Massacre movies were profitable because of their very low budgets, though at $500,000, Slumber Party Massacre II was the most expensive, most likely because the villain and effects are so on-point.
