Even in a generally well-liked horror franchise like Slumber Party Massacre, there is still that one entry that fans do not rally around as much as others. And among the four films produced so far, Sally Mattison’s Slumber Party Massacre III is routinely slept on. However, this series’ third depiction of a sleepover gone terribly awry not only brings back the harshness of the original film, it also delivers an unusual perspective.
The first slasher trend had all but ended by 1990, but unseasonableness has never stopped a producer like Roger Corman. And as with the previous Slumber Party Massacre films, the third was directed and written by women, including a script by the late Catherine Cyran. This rushed, micro-budget film works from the same familiar prompt; a male assailant stalks and kills hapless, scantily clad women as they gather for what should have been a night of fun and play.

Director Katt Shea (Poision Ivy, Stripped to Kill 1 & 2, The Rage: Carrie II) is remaking her own 1989 vampire movie Dance of the Damned. I've never seen the original, but based on the trailer (watch below), it looks like a great Skinemax flick starring Cyril O'Reilly sporting the ultimate vampire mullet. It also stars Starr Andreeff (Syngenor) and Maria Ford (The Haunting of Morella, Slumber Party Massacre III). In the original O'Reilly plays a vampire who seduces a stripper who is contemplating suicide. The VHS is going for $16 on Amazon, or you can watch it on YouTube for free.

Roger Corman has confirmed that Katt Shea will definitely be writing and directing a remake of her 1989 vampire flick Dance of the Damned.
The vampire movie, which starred Corman actress Maria Ford, is rumored to star super hottie Erik Fellows as the seductive vampire who chooses a suicidal stripper as his next meal. As the evening moves along, the dancer and the vampire connect on an emotional, sexual, and primal level.
This is the best Pom commercial ever shot, with Erik
Check out the trailer for the original movie. We'll keep you posted on this flick, as Shea is one of our favorites!
