Plug in your guitars and sharpen your sickles. Cabin of Horrors is taking you on a deep dive into two slashers that prove horror can be weird, loud, and totally unforgettable.

First, we crank up the volume with Slumber Party Massacre II (1987). The surreal, rock ’n’ roll sequel that traded realism for dream logic and a killer with a power-drill guitar. We’ll unravel how writer-director Deborah Brock turned a feminist satire into a neon-soaked nightmare filled with glitter, gore, and the blurred lines between trauma and fantasy. Expect behind-the-scenes chaos, production secrets, and the film’s bizarre but lasting influence on horror’s stranger side.

Then we head deep into the Midwest for a modern bloodbath: Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare. A slasher novel that revitalized the subgenre for a new generation. We’ll explore how Cesare channels the energy of ’80s slashers into sharp social commentary, small-town paranoia, and one terrifying mascot with a killer sense of justice. This is slasher fiction done right. Brutal, smart, and packed with heart-pounding payoffs.

Grab your sleeping bag and lock the doors — this week, Cabin of Horrors dives deep into one of the most deceptively brilliant slashers of the 1980s: The Slumber Party Massacre (1982). What started as a low-budget, late-night exploitation flick became a groundbreaking commentary on gender, fear, and the male gaze all wrapped up in blood, drills, and teenage terror.

Join us as I explore how director Amy Holden Jones and writer Rita Mae Brown flipped the slasher formula on its head, creating a film that’s as subversive as it is scary. We’ll break down the behind-the-scenes battles, the cinematography that turned suburbia into a nightmare, and the legacy that continues to influence feminist horror today.

Expect deep cuts, fun facts, and feminist firepower — because this massacre wasn’t just about survival... it was about taking control.

Prepare yourself for a descent into the darkest corners of the supernatural and the human mind. This episode features three original horror stories designed to unsettle, disturb, and haunt you long after the final word.
