The Last Slumber Party Remix

The Last Slumber Party Remix
1988
79 min (Remix 34 min)



Completely unrelated to the Slumber Party Massacre trilogy, The Last Slumber Party is a painfully cheap little gem; no nudity and all the kills are the same. But like unprotected sex, it's fun, but you might get an STD. All I can say is, if you can fight through the initial shock of seeing such a poor quality film, you'll eventually get with the program and find many small rewards.



When Thunderclap first watched this movie, the first comment was "they're on meth". I laughed until I saw the look of concern on TC's face. Dang, they might be. It was filmed in Oklahoma.

The parking lot scene is solid gold. I've watched it about 15-20 times and it always makes me laugh. Throwing empties at the scooter-riding nerd, "Science"?! What else do you want?



Buy it on a double feature DVD, with Terror at Tenkiller for like six bucks. Do it.

Back II School - Private Event



***Main Features***


Hell High (1989) - Shot in 1986 but not released until 1989, almost two years after star Christopher Stryker died of AIDS. Unfortunately, this was his only film. This movie is truly unique and original. I actually feel kinda bad for remixing it.

Fear No Evil (1980)
- the Antichrist in high school sound like a good thing. And when the movie doesn't get bogged down(religious talkie talk, castles and candles) this film is wicked. Especially the high school scenes. Featuring a soundtrack by Talking Heads, Sex Pistols, the Ramones and many high profile new wave / punk bands. And one of the most shocking moments I've ever seen.

The Last Slumber Party (1988) - This little gem is painfully cheap, no nudity and all the kills are the same. Plus, completely unrelated to the Slumber Party Massacre Trilogy. But somehow, this movie rules. Jan Jensen is so likable with her down home accent. And one moment she thinks a guy is hot, next she's calling him a fag. Or a queer. Or a gay. Awesome. Features "heavy metal rock" by FIRSTRYKE.

Graduation Day (1981) - This is a very dated flick. If there was ever a film bridging the 70s to the 80s, here it is. Check out the punk band performing while the crowd roller skates around them! Plus, there's a psychedelic haze over this film that's really cool. Check out the uneven bars gymnastic scene. Heavy.

***After Hours Bonus***


Girls Nite Out (1984) - There is no suspense, no nudity, confusing, it's just a mess. However, this movie is must see. And I won't say why. The less you know about it, the better.

The Majorettes (1986) - I just watched this on Labor Day and it's even better than it sounds. I desperately want this ready for the party... Game time decision.



Each film will feature an Epilogue by Thunderclap and Cheesecake (above).

Hell High Remix



Hell High AKA Raging Fury
1989
79 Minutes

Hell High Remix featuring an epilogue by Thunderclap & Cheesecake
2007
38 Minutes

Shot in 1986 but not released until 1989, almost two years after star Christopher Stryker died of AIDS. Unfortunately, this was his only film. He plays the bad ass Dickens, the sinister student who will not take shit from you or anyone. And he'll throw a hot dog at you to prove it. And kiss the quarterback's girlfriend right in front of him. That's right. Dickens don't give a shit.

This movie is truly unique and original. I actually feel kinda bad for remixing it. However, even at 79 minutes, it's still a little bloated. The perfect edit would be about an hour long.

Normally, I'm not a fan of commentary tracks, but check out the Hell High DVD for the commentary by Joe Bob Briggs. He's obviously a big fan and he's pretty funny.

I don't know why the DVD has 5 minutes cut out. And I don't know what was cut out. If you know, please post a comment.

Student Bodies (1981)

Student Bodies (1981) - OK, everyone agrees, this movie was way ahead of the curve. A slasher satire in 1981? But honestly this movie is really obnoxious and over-the-top. Like babysitting a kid who's diet consists of Fun Dip and Rockstar Energy Drink this movie needs a serious time out. However, there are some genius moments that really crack me up.

This was director Mickey Rose's only film, although he wrote for a ton of sitcoms like 227 and Too Close For Comfort. People really dig this movie, so give it a shot if you like the joke-every-second genre like Airplane!. (This is no Airplane!) You won't be bored, but you might groan more than laugh. Here's a remix of how it starts. Enjoy.

Puppet MCs


Horror Remix is proud to announce the recruitment of the best puppet MCs in the biz. We have been looking for someone to give fun facts and "what to look for" tidbits for remixed movies. Cheesecake and Thunderclap are veterans in the horror biz and have written, directed and starred in many underground horror films. Unfortunately, most of these films have yet to be release in the US. Or anywhere.

Please welcome them to the Horror Remix family!

Horror Remix Goes Live



Horror Remix is excited to announce its first public screening. It will be in Dallas, upstairs at the Cavern on Halloween night. I haven't decided what films to show. It's gotta be conducive to a loud bar, so something low on funny dialog and high on visuals (gore, t & a, and 80sness). Right now I'm thinking Rock N Roll Nightmare and Slumber Party Massacre. But who knows. Chopping Mall could work. I'll take requests...

Fatal Pulse Trailer (1988)

Fatal Pulse Trailer (1988) - I've never seen this movie, but I hear it's insane. I found the trailer on my VHS copy of Evil Laugh (which I believe was on DVD, but out of print; it's listed on Netflix)?

Fatal Pulse unfortunately is NOT anywhere on DVD, so you'll have to buy a used VHS copy for around $15 after shipping or wait for me to remix it someday.



Terminal Entry Trailer (1986)
- Don't really care to see this movie, but the trailer is pretty funny with explosions, terrorists and Kevin from Mr. Belvedere. And I believe George W. Bush learned about foreign policy with this film. I also found this on the Evil Laugh VHS.

Terror at Tenkiller


Terror at Tenkiller (1986) - This movie is so boring. Yet, for a movie I don't like, I sure think about it a lot. Is it because it features a likeable final girl with a hypnotic big butt or is it the way the killer reveals his dark secrets by harmonica? I seriously can't sit through this film again, so I will never remix it. However, I have posted the classic harmonica sense. The harmonica is overdubbed with a Casio?! I'm serious. I high-fived myself! The final girl has some wicked curves. It's fascinating. I watched her butt the whole movie... To stay awake... Or maybe I just get down like that.

You can find the film for a couple of bucks as a double feature DVD (Scream Theater Double Feature, Vol. 2) w/ the genius of The Last Slumber Party. If the YouTube clip entertains you, give both films a shot. - NOT REMIXABLE

Back 2 School Update

I've done a few new remixes. Some for Horror Remix 2: Back 2 School, other just because I couldn't wait to slash em up.

Slumber Party Massacre
Hell High
Rock 'N' Roll Nightmare
and I'm getting close to finishing Evil Laugh

All of those movie are damn good 80's bliss, but each cut down to about 30 minutes will blow your top. Hell High was really hard to cut, because it really has some incredible characters and it turns the high school horror film upside down.

I'll write more about those films once they are posted. But the main reason for this posting was to mention the crap I've watched to find the gold. Super props to Bleeding Skull, because they point me in the right direction and seem to do most of the dirty work. Plus, they seem to get the difference between bad (good) and just plain bad. They also get that humor in horror is mostly a terrible thing; however unintended humor in horror is glorious. And if it's 80's and Canadian - jackpot!!!

So here's what I've watched recently:

Bloody Birthday
(1981) - Three 10 year olds on a killling spree sounds bad ass, but ends up just plain bad. Boring, predictable, PG feeling; and people will give it good reviews, because it's unique and the kids are great actors. BUT those factors are rarely important at Horror Remix; the only redeeming value is Julie Brown's stripe scene. That IS a good. And usable. NOT REMIXABLE

Fear No Evil (1980) - the Antichrist in high school sound like a good thing. And when the movie doesn't get bogged down(religious talkie talk, castles and candles) this film is wicked. Especially the high school scenes. They are killer and feature a sound track by Talking Heads, Sex Pistols, the Ramones and many high profile new wave / punk bands. And features one of the most shocking moments I've ever seen. If they would have spent the entire movie on campus this would be an all time classic. This will be perfect in the 30 minute format. HIGHLY REMIXABLE

The Last Slumber Party (1988) - Bleeding Skull loves this little gem so I bought it on a double feature DVD (w/ Terror at Tenkiller). It's painfully cheap and all the kills are the same. But Jan Jensen is so likable with her down home accent. And one moment she thinks a guy is hot, next she's calling him a fag. Or a queer. Or a gay. Awesome. Only 72 minutes and features "heavy metal rock" by FIRSTRYKE. Hey guys, shoot me an email! HIGHLY REMIXABLE

Killer Workout Remix

Killer Workout Remix (requests only)
Original Length: 86 Minutes
Remix Length: 29 Minutes

If you're familiar with horror films, you most certainly know that 99% of them have serious down time or filler.

I love horror films; especially the bad ones from mid 70's to late 80's. The only problem is they are filled with "who-done-its" and mindless subplots. And the worst of all filler - the 10 minute creepy suspense build up of a girl walking through the woods, only to end with the dumb jock jumping out to scare her. What a rip off, not to mention a waste of my time.

So that's the point of this blog. To remix (or edit) horror films down to about 30 minutes. It's really all you need. Trust me.

My first remix is the classic "Killer Workout" from 1986. If you've ever seem the entire film, you'll completely understand why this is my first choice. This movie is so fantastic, but it really, really drags toward the end. However, at 29 minutes, it's 80's slasher cheese at it's finest.
