‘Late Nite Grindhouse’ Returns This Weekend at The Des Peres Cinema with SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE Parts 1&2

“You know how girls love to scream!”

After a hiatus of several months, Destroy the Brain‘s monthly ‘Late Nite Grindhouse’ film series is back in a new location! Head to the Marcus Des Peres Cinema (12701 Manchester Rd, Des Peres, MO 63131) this Friday and Saturday (August 23rd and 24th) at 10pm for a double-bill of ’80s slasher essentials: SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE and SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE Part 2! Since this is a Marcus Theater, you’ll need to reserve your seats ahead of time HERE. There may (or may not be) tickets available the nights of the screenings, but it looks like they’re going fast! Tickets are $13 (technically $13.12 w/ tax). One ticket will get you in to both films. A Facebook invite for the event can be found HERE

SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982)

Left alone for the weekend when her parents go away, teenager Trish decides to hold a slumber party for some of her school friends. What she didn’t count on was recently-escaped psycho Russ Thorn deciding to gate-crash the party with his massive power drill. SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE definitely reduced the ’80s slasher genre to its ultimate base elements. Everything that was popular about the slasher flick was streamlined here. Minimal plot. Minimal characterization. Maximum carnage. Played as straight as an arrow. Oh, and boobs. It’s exactly what you would think a movie called SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE would be (and that’s a compliment). Keep your expectations in check and you will have a great time.

SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II (1987)

We here at WAMG have never seen the follow-up but suspect the only surprise is that it took five years! No doubt it’s more of the same but looking forward to seeing it!
