Killer Party

1986 · 92 min

A goofy, creaky slasher that keeps pulling prank-within-a-prank tricks, so you're never sure what's a joke and what's a kill.

Tagline
By the end of the dance, some of the sorority sisters were dead on their feet.
Overview
It's April Fool's Day and the sisters of Sigma Alpha Pi believe they've found the perfect place to throw a party: the abandoned fraternity house where the guillotined pledge once lost his head in a hazing gone awry.
