Slumber Party Massacre II/Joe Bob's Drive-In

 

Folks trying to figure this out feel this

I remember watching this back in 2009. I think I got a copy of it from an internet friend who sent me a number of DVDs. Well, the "phantom in black leather jacket and guitar drill" does use that drill a lot. The cheesy dance and "rock" numbers by the "girl band" and Leather Jacket, slick-haired Atanas Ilitch are clearly a cult film addict's wet dream. I remember seeing that box in video stores but they were either rented out or stickler for the rules not allowing teens too young to watch them to rent them. I had that one store I could get away with renting horror regularly because the guys inside the store were more interested in selling appliances than bothering with taking my dollars and sliding me a big VHS tape inside a white plastic box, so what I wanted I never remember having a problem.

This had some faces in the cast tied to "Friday the 13th" (Parts 5 and 7). As far as The Last Drive-In goes, Joe Bob's "mail girl", Darcy (Diana Prince), was wearing quite a suit with a zip that was so opened down the middle, I swore I could see side nipple. Darcy is one of those who feels very comfortable in her skin and loves to show some skin. I grinned at how even Joe Bob could no longer not mention that she was "nearly falling out of her outfit". Joe Bob trying to explain the plot of Slumber Party Massacre II (1987), admitting how difficult it was in his own distinctive way, is most amusing.

Lots of "rock and roll" quips while drilling people



From IMDb user comments of August 2009:

It's rare that I'm stunned to silence, but SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II was able to do just that. It's bizarre right from the word go and we are never fully certain if any of what is shown is real or the product of a very disturbed mind. Crystal Bernard(..of the television hit "Wings" fame) stars as the troubled Courtney, a teenager who escaped from a murderer and has never fully recovered from the incident(..incidentally, her sister is in an institution). She is having nightmarish visions of her friends being butchered by this leather jacket, slick-haired reject from the 50's using a tripped out guitar with a power drill at the end. Courtney convinces her mother to allow her to go with girlfriends(..the four girls make up a band)to a pal's summer beach house. This is where some boyfriends show up for some laughs and giggles, but Courtney continues seeing her nightmare drill-killer, along with other weird, freakish images(..such as her girlfriend's face yielding a massive, puss oozing pimple, and a chicken that attacks her from the fridge!), really bringing a serious drag to the festivities. Soon, the killer manifests, it seems, in reality, and begins terrorizing everyone close to Courtney..attempts to flee fail as the drill-killer pops up magically as if there's no escape. That's about as vivid an explanation as I can possibly whip up. It's really quite a wacky, gory ride with some very impressive make-up effects as victims are bored right through by the power drill. Atanas Ilitch, who seems to be an inspired variation on Freddy Kreuger, has a field day with his role, dancing and grinning, even stopping for a musical interlude before using his drill to penetrate the chest of another victim. Very attractive cast who die horribly. Some effective camera angles as director Deborah Brock distorts what we see visually, with the film always questioning Courtney's sanity. I think it would be best to approach this daffy slasher with the right kind of attitude, because it's very strange stuff. What a crazy weapon!
