Quick Answer

What is Slumber Party Massacre II about?

Slumber Party Massacre II is a 1987 American comedy-horror-musical directed by Deborah Brock about Courtney Bates, who, while celebrating her birthday weekend with friends, is haunted by visions of a murderous greaser wielding a deadly guitar-drill.

Programmer's Pick

This is the rare slasher sequel that cranks up both the absurdity and the volume—where your nightmares come with a backbeat and the killer prefers rockabilly riffs to hockey masks. Deborah Brock’s direction brings a surreal, gleefully unhinged energy, and the drill guitar is a genre set piece all its own.

Overview

Courtney Bates, still shaken from her previous brush with violence, tries to put the past behind her as she heads to a condominium for a birthday weekend with her closest friends. The trip quickly takes a surreal turn as Courtney’s dreams become plagued by a menacing greaser—armed not just with a killer attitude but a guitar modified with a lethal drill bit. As the group’s carefree weekend is interrupted by unsettling visions and the sudden disappearance of one friend, Courtney is left to question what’s real and whether she and her friends can escape the shadow of her trauma. Mixing slasher horror with tongue-in-cheek musical flair, this film walks the line between nightmare and rock ‘n’ roll fantasy.
