  1. Guitars & Dreams: Slumber Party Massacre II Under the Microscope + Cornfields, Clowns & Slasher Payoffs: Why Clown in a Cornfield Nails It

    Guitars & Dreams: Slumber Party Massacre II Under the Microscope + Cornfields, Clowns & Slasher Payoffs: Why Clown in a Cornfield Nails It

    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.

    Power Drills and Feminism: The Slumber Party Massacre That Changed Horror

    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.

    Cabin of Horrors unleashes two chilling tales inspired by the twisted legacy of Freddy Krueger. First, in The Man in the Boiler Room, a teenager’s recurring nightmare becomes horrifyingly real as he uncovers the secret of a burned man with knives for fingers — a presence that feeds on fear and never stays dead. Then, in The Dream Warriors, a group of troubled teens must confront Freddy on his home turf — the dream world — where fear is power… but so is belief. When their nightmares turn deadly, they must become warriors or die trying. One monster. And no way to wake up. 🔪 Listen with the lights off… if you dare.

    Knocks, Masks, and Murder

    In this special double-feature of Cabin of Horrors, we bring you two terrifying tales that explore what happens when isolation turns deadly — and something knocks that shouldn't be there. First, in “The Third Knock,” a writer retreats to a quiet cabin in search of peace… but finds herself stalked by a presence that knows her every move — and won’t leave until she listens. Then, in “Red Pines,” five friends on a weekend getaway stumble into a local legend far too real. Something waits in the woods… wearing bark, bone, and the faces of those who didn’t make it out. Two cabins. Two killers. One rule: Don’t open the door. Turn off the lights. Turn up the volume. And whatever you do…Don’t answer the third knock.
