With «Halloween», John Carpenter once unleashed a veritable flood of films in which psychopathic killers prey on teenagers and bring them to an abrupt end when they were just beginning to enjoy the pleasures of life such as sex and parties. While some of them are now considered milestones of slasher cinema (“Friday the 13th”, “Nightmare On Elm Street”), which are also known far beyond the genre boundaries, many others are only very popular in horror fan circles . Including “ The Slumber Party Massacre ” from 1982, which skilfully stood out from the slasher mishmash at the time, at least resulted in two successful sequels and is now celebrating its revival in the form of a remake.
The special thing about the series: In the world of horror and slasher films, which is well known as a male domain, all «Slumber Party Massacre» films were written and directed by women.

This was once heralded by the feminist activist Rita Mae Brown , who as a screenwriter gave the first film a satirical-parodic note, which ultimately also set the route for «Slumber Party Massacre II» and «Slumber Party Massacre III». And this now seems to continue in the new interpretation: “ Slumber Party Massacre ” from 2021 was written by Suzanne Keilly (“Ash Vs. Evil Dead”), while Canadian Danishka Esterhazy , known for the Netflix series “Ginny & Georgia”, is the author Directed by.
