Slaughter Studios
''Slaughter Studios'' is a 2002 comedy/horror film. It was directed by Brian Katkin, with the screenplay by John Huckert and Dan Acre, from a story by Huckert, Acre, and Damian Akhavi. The film, 86 minutes long and rated R, was released through New Concorde. It was the last film shot at Roger Corman's studios in Venice Beach, California, and it only had a 12-day shooting schedule. The studio was being torn down during the production. The film began life as a remake of ''Slumber Party Massacre'', and writers John Huckert and Dan Acre were hired to pen the script. But after visiting the soon-to-be-demolished studio they came up with this idea instead. Producer Damien Akhavi helped them write the story. Footage from the original ''Slumber Party Massacre'' can still be seen during a murder sequence as an in-joke for the production crew. Though principal photography took place in February 2001, the final sequences were not filmed until July 2002. The long break was necessitat ...

Slumber Party Massacre
''The Slumber Party Massacre'' (also known as ''The Slumber Party Murders'' in the United Kingdom) is a 1982 American slasher film directed by Amy Holden Jones and written by Rita Mae Brown. It is the first installment in the ''Slumber Party Massacre'' trilogy, and stars Michelle Michaels, Robin Stille, and Michael Villella. The film follows a high school senior who gathers her friends for a slumber party, unaware that an escaped power drill-wielding killer is loose in the neighborhood. The film was originally written by Brown as a parody of the slasher genre but was shot as a straightforward horror film instead. As a result, it contains more humor, both intended and unintended, than usual for the genre at the time. ''The Slumber Party Massacre'' grossed $3.6 million at the box office on a budget of $220,000, and received mixed reviews from critics. Despite the reception, it has obtained a large cult following since its release. Two direct l sequels, ''Slumber Party Massacre II ...
