Slumber Party Massacre Recap 🍕🪛SOLD OUT! 🚫🎟️ What an incredible night!

Check out the highlights from our packed house double-feature at LOOK Dine-In Cinema. We kicked things off with the sharp and creepy short Scissor Sleepover directed by Screamfest NOLA alumni Nee Kirschman, then dove straight into the 80s drill-bit madness of The Slumber Party Massacre.

A massive thank you to director Amy Holden Jones and actresses: Michele Michaels, Debra De Liso, Brinke Stevens for joining us for a killer Q&A! It was amazing to see so many of you show up in your PJs—you definitely made the night feel like a real (and very bloody) sleepover.

Congrats to our trivia winners for snagging some epic prizes! Since this one sold out, make sure get tickets for The Blob (1988) on April 16th with FX legend Tony Gardner Q&A. https://screamfestla.com/2026/events/screenings/the-blob-1988-tony-gardner-glendale

Scream now, while there's still room to breathe😱

Join us at the LOOK Dine-In Cinema in Glendale for a special screening of The Blob followed by a Q&A with Legendary Special Effects Artist Tony Gardner! And stick around for TRIVIA and PRIZES after the screening!

Building on the foundation of the iconic 1958 original, this version takes the "gelatinous substance" to terrifying new heights with some of the best practical effects the 80s had to offer. When a meteorite crashes outside a small town, high school students Brian (Kevin Dillon), Meg (Shawnee Smith), and Paul (Donovan Leitch) are the first to encounter a deadly, flesh-melting menace that begins growing uncontrollably through the town's sewer system.
