Gory ‘Slumber Party Massacre’ Teaser Trailer Hypes the Remake’s SYFY Premiere in October

Published

on

Fresh off the film’s premiere at Fantastic Fest, Slumber Party Massacre, a remake of director Amy Holden Jones’s 1982 slasher, is now headed to SYFY, we’ve learned tonight.

The film premieres on October 16, 2021! Danishka Esterhazy (The Banana Splits Movie) directed the film, with the script written by Suzanne Keilly (“Ash vs. Evil Dead”).

Watch the very first teaser trailer below…

The cast includes Hannah Gonera, Frances Sholto-Douglas, Mila Rayne, Alex McGregor and Reze-Tiana Wessels. Here’s the brand new plot synopsis…

“A new contemporary twist-filled reimagining of the 1982 slasher cult classic just in time for Halloween. A slumber party turns into a bloodbath, as a psychotic serial killer wielding a power drill disrupts the fun.”

The 1982 version of Slumber Party Massacre, written by Rita Mae Brown, ended up spawning two sequels: Slumber Party Massacre II (1987) and Slumber Party Massacre III (1990).

Trace wrote in his review for Bloody Disgusting, “Slumber Party Massacre is a welcome addition to this new wave of modern slashers (Initiation, Fear Street, etc.). It’s gory, funny and filled with likable characters. While it’s inevitable that this review will be flooded with comments of the “stop inserting social commentary into my horror movies!” ilk, those who can stomach such a wild concept will find much to enjoy in a movie that’s this much goddamn fun.”

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
