15 Greatest Guilty Pleasure Movies Of The 1980s

This 1988 production boasts some of the biggest names in low-budget, low-brow, guilty pleasure trash cinema: director David DeCoteau, executive producer Charles Band - and, perhaps most significantly, the three premier 'scream queens' of the time: Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens.

Sometimes a title tells you everything you need to know about a movie, but in this instance it doesn't even come close to summing up the plot - although it does give a good indication of the tone.

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama kicks off with a trio of bored male college students who try to sneak a peak at a hazing ritual over at a nearby sorority house. There, they succeed in witnessing two pledges (Stevens and Bauer) enduring the obligatory humiliation, and providing the obligatory nudity.

However, when the boys are rumbled, sadistic sorority leader Babs (Robin Stile) demands a special forfeit: both the peeping toms and the pledges must break into the local bowling alley and steal a trophy as tribute. Here, they meet tough-as-nails punk chick Spider (Quigley) attempting to rip the place off - and, even more unexpectedly, pick up a bowling trophy which is home to a malevolent imp with the power to grant wishes.

It's every bit as inane as it sounds - and it should be acknowledged that everyone on board is well aware of that fact. While it will inevitably be too dumb for some, there's such an infectious sense of fun about it all that it's hard not to get into the spirit of things.

Quigley, Bauer and Stevens have long enjoyed a close association, and this was a career highlight for all of them - although some viewers may be shocked to discover this is one of the comparatively few movies in which Quigley does not appear naked.
