Slumber Party Slaughterhouse Contest!
Halo-8, the sick bastards behind next month’s dvd-game ‘Slumber Party Slaughterhouse: The Game,’ are offering Bloody Disgusting readers a chance to participate in the game’s creation and win prizes in the process! How to enter? Oh man is it easy, just read on for details…
The game is a slasher-movie-trivia challenge… so all you have to do is comment below with your favorite slasher movie trivia question (any question!) – and if it gets used in the game, then you’ll be awarded an assortment of FIVE Halo-8 DVDs and get your name in the credits! *
If you don’t know already, ‘Slumber Party Slaughterhouse’ is Halo-8’s Halloween treat for the fans… a campy horror dvd-game starring TIFFANY SHEPIS (Nightmare Man), MASUIMI MAX (The Devil’s Muse), JOANNA ANGEL (Sick & Twisted Horror of Joanna Angel), KATIE NISA (Threat), PAGE TURNER (Pilates For Indie Rockers), and MELISSA BACELAR (Pink Eye). In the game Paul Tard, a hapless geek graduating from air conditioner repair school, is dissed by his friends when they uninvite him to their graduation party. It turns out they’ve ordered enough hookers and coke for everyone coming to the party, but Paul’s bi-curious ex-girlfriend convinced the party organizers to give her Paul’s hooker. So Paul does what any red-blooded American guy would do, he drowns his sorrows in a bubble bath and brings along his trusty laptop for some internet porn. Unfortunately, he gets a bit too excited, drops the laptop in the bathtub, and electrocutes himself to death. Paul is then visited by a slasher-film-obsessed Devilgirl who gives him the chance to take revenge by possessing the hookers and killing his friends… but first he must correctly answer the Devilgirl’s slasher movie trivia questions. Each correct answer unlocks the next “killscene,” and each killscene is directed by a different Halo-8 filmmaker.
“SPS was created as a Halloween treat for twisted gorehounds like us,” said SPS creator Matt Pizzolo (writer/director of ‘Threat,’ upcoming ‘Godkiller,’ and prez of Halo-8). “So we brought a bunch of Halo-8 filmmakers and stars together to make a collaborative project that also has an Audience Participation component… the theatrical screenings will be live events with prizes awarded for correct answers. It makes perfect sense to us that the fans oughta be involved in coming up with the questions, too, not just answering them.”
The contest will run until Friday September 26th. Winners will be announced the following week.

A contemporary reimagining of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Herbert West: Reanimator is on the way, and Deadline has unveiled the first look at the new Herbert West and the pathologist drawn to his orbit.
Adam Simon (The Haunting in Connecticut, “Salem”) and Tim Metcalfe (The Haunting in Connecticut, Kalifornia) penned the script. The original screenplay and storyline come from Jade Sandberg Wallace.
Michael Grossman (“The Originals”, “Pretty Little Liars”) directs.
The new images introduce star Joseph Morgan (“Vampire Diaries“), who plays “brilliant surgeon and scientist Herbert West, who is obsessed with creating a serum to reanimate the dead.” Katie Cassidy (Speed Demon) stars opposite as the pathologist with a troubled past who joins his efforts.
Together, they prove that conquering death may be the ultimate sin against life itself.
The film’s official synopsis: “As a child, Herbert West watches his father Peter reanimate his dead mother Judith in a secret basement lab — only for Judith to mortally wound Peter and nearly kill Herbert before Peter shoots her. The trauma leaves its mark on Herbert, but so does one final image: his mother’s finger, twitching after death. Thirty years later, Herbert West is a brilliant, secretive surgeon still chasing his father’s obsession.
“Pathologist Kate Locke arrives in town and is drawn into his orbit — first through a spark at a hospital fundraiser, then through his secret lab, where he reveals a serum capable of reanimating severed tissue. Kate, hiding a dark past of her own, is thrilled rather than horrified, and moves into West’s mansion to work alongside him. Their early experiments on a cadaver succeed only briefly. West concludes that dead tissue is the problem — they need something fresher.”
Supporting cast includes Scott Aiello, Ira J Amyx, Randall Newsome, Emma Reinagal, James D. Bryce, Kathryn A Bentley, Jack Lancaster, Amy Holland Pennell, John Pierson, Mindy Shaw, Eric Dean White, Tristan Wilder Hallet, Adrienne Lamping, Aaron Crippen, and Drew Patterson.
Makeup artist Jeff Lewis (“Star Trek: Voyager,” “Star Trek: Enterprise”) and cousin Roger Lewis are heading the production via their newly established Woodlake Entertainment.
Lovecraft’s short story, first serialized in Home Brew magazine in 1922, is the first among his works to mention the fictional Miskatonic University. It was most famously adapted into a 1985 horror movie from Stuart Gordon, starring Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West.
Herbert West: Reanimator is set in Alton, Illinois, where production is now underway.
