i'm not sure, i haven't seen them yet...although i've seen parts of the FRANKENSTEIN back when USA used to play it late at night years ago...i think it was pretty controversial back when it was originally released due to content...should be interesting...

OMG...Just seeing the title "The Last Slumber Party" brings back bad movie flashbacks.  That movie is pretty p**s awful.  It's the only movie with the words "slumber party" in the title that doesn't have any nudity.  It's an extremely painful little number.

hahaha, some hilarious finds there - dvd's or vhs copies?

the best ghoulies film in the series (if there can be a best one) is the one where they go to college - that s**t cracks me up.

Did "The Last Slumber Party" have a big "ugly" fat guy named Orville in it?!  I remember watchng a few 80s .. maybe they were early 90s? movies involving slumber parties and sorority houses and girls running around in lingerie and the hero in all of them was big Orville and at the end of one it said "Coming Soon: Orville in Orbit"  i dont think that movie was ever made, i wish it was!  but i really wanna see more Orville movies!! i wish i knew what his real name was!!

love colleen

Orville is not in it....This is some cheap crap late 1980s shot on video piece of garbage that stars a bunch of people that you never heard of.  It involves some dude in a surgical mask slitting people's throats.  Horrible stuff.

so what you're saying is...it's not worth 2.99? hahahha...i laugh but i know you're probably right...

still, i like buying VHS flicks that will probably never see the DVD light of day...

I'll second "The Last Slumber Party" as dreadful, at the very least, the store should have paid you for taking it off their hands.

Some people really like "Magic", some like me hate it. I think the guys at Teleport City are right, it's one of those movies from your childhood that seemed scary but doesn't hold up. Just to make matters worse, "Magic" was one of the "filler" movies that a local TV station would show over and over again on weekends and late at night before the days of marathons of "Cops" and "Wildest Police Chases."

I enjoy the first "Ghoules", hate the second one, haven't seen the third one, and want to smack everyone involved with the fourth one (including whoever at the SciFi Channel decides to keep showing it).

"Happy Birthday to Me" is such a load of crap. The story seems decent until then end, and then a previously unmentioned person is the killer, and for no good reason! A room full of

BTW, about the only thing Andy Warhol contributed to the Dracula and Frankenstein films was his name.   They're good fun, I've rewatched them both recently.  

Count me as another victim of THE LAST SLUMBER PARTY.  Barf......

I think he was also in HARD TO DIE, another one of those New Horizons "scream queen" horror flicks.
