The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)








Trish Deveraux is planning a slumber party.  But an innocent night of pizza, music and talking about boys turns into a bloodbath.  Escaped mass murderer Russ Thorn, with the help of his power drill, wreaks havoc on Trish's friends, a pizza boy, even her gym coach! Trish decides she won't be screwed like the rest and manages to take out Russ with a machete.

The Slumber Party Massacre was released during the endless parade of slashers in the early 80s.  Not particularly scary or memorable, having a power drill as the weapon of choice was a nice change from the usual knife or machete.  The film was directed by Amy Holden Jones, who had to turn down editing E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), in order to helm the movie.  I wonder if M&M's were part of the craft service table.
