Late Nite Grindhouse Presents “Slumber Party Massacre Double Feature Party” This Weekend at Marcus Des Peres

Gang, it’s been weird not seeing people for a few months but I’m happy to announce that Late Nite Grindhouse presentations will be gracing the silver screen again at our new home at Marcus Theatres’ Des Peres. We are super proud to be up and running again but we are presenting our first double feature – something I have been trying to do since the beginning of Late Nite Grindhouse over nine years ago. Read below for some more gory details about this screening.

THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE: Written as a commentary on the inherent sexism of slashers by feminist icon Rita Mae Brown — but filmed completely straight — THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE is a terrific inside joke that also delivers the goods as a skid row photocopy of HALLOWEEN, complete with a killer who’s figuratively castrated when the tip of his power drill is hacked off. With its stylized photography, plot points involving pizza and an endlessly cool homemade synth score, THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE is a drop-dead masterpiece of subversive trash-horror.

SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II: The ultimate horror-rock blasterpiece! An all-female hard rock band rents a condo for a much-needed vacation. Their tranquility is cut short by a heavy metal dream-demon and his murder weapon of choice: the drill-tar.
