Episode Details

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. On this episode we’re discussing two films directed by women: 1982’s The Slumber Party Massacre and 1987’s Blood Diner.

First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Thanks!

We start by talking about what we’ve seen or done lately in the field of horror. We talk about watching 1990’s Demon Wind. Justin talks about attending the Mahoning Drive In Theatre’s fourth annual ZOMBIEFEST and seeing Re-Animator, Return Of The Living Dead II, Pet Semetary, and Tom Savini’s remake of Night Of The Living Dead. Liam talks about the recent Cinepunx hosting of King Boxer at the Frank Banko Alehouse in Bethlehem. Justin briefly talks about the recent trailer for the upcoming Fox TV series The Passage, based on Justin Cronin’s trilogy of novels.

Up first is The Slumber Party Massacre. We talk about how this movie might be the most parodied slasher film of all time, in that it was the first film to use the plot of women being attacked at a slumber party.

Liam discusses why he chose the film to watch as part of our ‘women in horror’ theme. There is a brief discussion on the theme of castration as the weakening of a male villain.
