About this listen

Sleepovers, power tools, and unexpected satire—Slumber Party Massacre (1982) is not your average slasher! In this episode, we take a deep dive into this cult classic, a film that started as a parody but took on a life of its own. Written by feminist author Rita Mae Brown and directed by AmyHolden Jones, this movie delivers all the signature elements of 80's horror—high school drama, over-the-top suspense, and some truly baffling choices—while sneaking in some clever subversion.

We discuss the now-iconic power drill (possibly the most impractical horror weapon ever?), Valerie’s wildly unpredictable younger sister Courtney, and the film’s strangely suggestive snack selection. Plus, we break down why the final showdown is one of the most hilariously drawn-out villain defeats in slasher history.

Is Slumber Party Massacre an underrated genre satire or just another slice of 80's camp? Grab your snacks, avoid nosy neighbors, and join us for a hilarious breakdown of this cult classic. And remember- if there’s a masked weirdo lurking outside, don’t host a sleepover.
