"Don't go all the way."

February is a busy month. Between Black History Month, the Super Bowl, the Academy Awards and Valentine's Day, February almost slipped past without my mentioning Women in Horror Month, so here goes.

It's Women in Horror Month and this week's Thursday Thriller is Slumber Party Massacre II.

Deborah Brock wrote and directed this second installment in the franchise that spoofs the male power fantasies we've come to know and love as the slasher genre.

You remember how in the first Slumber Party Massacre there were two sisters, Valerie and Courtney, who survived a night of being terrorized by an old pervert with a giant power drill? In this one, which takes place years later, Valerie's in a mental hospital and Courtney (Crystal Bernard) still has fucked up dreams about the whole ordeal. Courtney has grown up a little, but is still a good girl. She's a little shy, but she plays guitar in a band with some girls from school. Sheila's parents owns a beach house, so the girls go down there for the weekend to practice for the big dance.

Of course, some boys show up, and then so does the guy with the drill, except he's inexplicably mutated into a black leather-wearing, rock 'n' roll greaser with a guitar weirder than anything Prince ever played. There's a huge drill bit coming out of the end of it. Courtney's nightmares become daydreams then turn into outright hallucinations as her food attacks her and Sally's enormous pimple explodes green slime all over the place.

Then the rockabilly guy (Atanas Ilitch) does a big musical number right before he struts around and kills damn near everybody.

Slumber Party Massacre II does not have nearly as much frontal female nudity as its predecessor. Kimberly McArthur is in it and she doesn't even get naked, which is weird, because she was in Playboy.

That said, I advise you to go ahead and watch it and enjoy the cheap, silly, gory thrills that it offers.

Slumber Party Massacre II streams on Amazon Prime.
