10 Batsh*t Crazy Horror Films For Halloween

7. Sorority House Massacre II

Dracula (The Dirty Old Man)
New Horizons

“There may have been better horror movies made,” wrote Joe Bob Briggs about this knowingly silly exploitation film, “but not with this many women in their underwear.” Put it this way: if Melissa Moore (36C-26-36) and former Page 3 girl Robyn Harris (34C-24-34) were cast for their measurements, then the filmmakers got their money’s worth and then some.

Sorority House Massacre I was your typical 80s slasher movie with screaming damsels in distress, a synthesizer score and lots of power tools, so Massacre II is more of the same, only played for laughs. To the gratitude of trash aficionados the director is Jim Wynorski, who also perpetrated The Hills Have Thighs and House On Hooter Hill, and this effort is up (or down) to his usual standards.

After moving into the sorority house from the first film, 5 girls use a Ouija board to contact the dead killer (why not?), whose spirit knocks them off one by one while they attempt to slip into something more comfortable.

All the usual cliches are present and correct (gee, fellas, do you think there'll be a gratuitous shower scene?) but it's all so engagingly daft that it's difficult not to be entertained.
