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.

What happens when you mix Frankenstein, mad science, and an unhinged medical student with a glowing green syringe? Re-Animator (1985) answers that question in the most chaotic way possible!

In this episode, we dive into the cult classic that gave us Herbert West—part genius, part lunatic, and 100% committed to his experiments, even when things get incredibly out of hand. From headless villains and rampaging corpses to the worst pet resurrection in history (RIP, dead toupee cat), we break down what makes this film a gore-drenched, darkly hilarious masterpiece.

Join us as we discuss why Re-Animator still holds up, the magic of practical effects, and why you should never trust a creepy professor with a fixation on your girlfriend. And remember—just because you can bring the dead back to life doesn’t mean you should.
