101 Films presents iconic slashers The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) and Slumber Party Massacre II (1987), on 4K UHD and Blu-ray in the UK for the first time. Conceived as a parody of the slasher movie, The Slumber Party Massacre was eventually shot as a straightforward horror, leading to some uniquely dark humour both intended and otherwise. The more overtly comical Slumber Party Massacre II was the first of several sequels in what was the first horror series to be exclusively written and directed by women, providing a fresh perspective within an historically male-dominated genre.

The Slumber Party Massacre:

It’s going to be the slumber party to end all slumber parties. With her parents away, Trish (Michelle Michaels) is planning a weekend of high jinks fun for her high school basketball team friends - a slumber party at her house. She’s not sure if she wants to invite the newly arrived and talented Valerie (Robin Stille) but someone who is definitely coming is Russ Thorn. Locked up in a mental institution since 1969, Thorn, the nastiest of the driller killer psychos, has escaped and is heading back to town intent on more bloody mayhem. This night no one’s going to get much sleep - there’s potato chips, drinks, dope, severed heads, blood and gore-a-plenty.

Slumber Party Massacre II:

The only sane survivor of The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), Courtney (Crystal Bernard) dreams of the drill murderer returning. She can’t shake the horrible feeling that she and her friends will be viciously tormented and brutally butchered. Again, and again the nightmare returns. No one believes her, until it’s too late. The drill killer returns, reincarnated as an evil rocker, he methodically stalks them one by one and violently gores them to death ... can anyone survive Slumber Party Massacre II.
