Aight. You gotcha jammies on. You gotcha nails did. You gotcha drank on, and you’ve been confessing your crushes all night long.
What’s left? MOVIE TIME TIL YOU PASS OUT.
One of my favorite things in the world is horror films. Gore and guts, screams and shivers, ghosts and guns. From funnier and gore-filled to heart-stopping scary, these are 10 great horror films for letting sleeping girls DIE.
Horror a little too bold for your heart? Check out Marie’s post on Agent Lover for the BEST MAKE-OVER SCENES EVER.
Get ready for your boyfriend and his best friends to throw rocks at your windows, creep through your living room window (and attempt a panty raid), all in an effort to get a little ACK-SHUN!
Don’t let them though… don’t you know only good girls live through horror films?
10 Sexy, Scary Horror Films for your Slumber Party
1. Slumber Party Massacre (1, 2, and 3): Ain’t no slumber party complete without the homage to the evening! Like all good horror movies made for teenage boys, it involves a lot of humor and a lot of boobs. (Warning: video NSFW due to boobs.)
2. Sorority House Massacre (1 and 2): The next step from your slumber parties– a full time real life of non-stop slumber parties!
3. Scream (1, 2, and 3– and soon to be 4!): This series is the one who re-launched my love of horror films. Wes Craven is at his best with biting humor, whodunnit murder mysteries, and postmodern horror mockery. Plus it launched a life time love of David Arquette.
4. Chopping Mall: Fact– Marie nor I have seen this one, but it involves killer robots at a shopping mall. It sounds like an R.L. Stine book meets Isaac Asimov. And so it will be watched.
5. I Know What You Did Last Summer: Less lust on a little old school Ryan Phillipe/Feel-Me-Up-Eh and Sarah Michelle Gellar playing the ditz. This one IS based on a teen book by Lois Duncan. I tried to watch it a while back and it was like, so gawd awful. Best watched with a drinking game.
6. The Faculty: John Stewart! Usher! Elijah Wood! Josh Hartnett! It’s a boyfett with a ridiculous plot about alien pod people who are destroyed by snorting some b-grade drug in bic pens. Fact: drugs dehydrate you.
7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: One of the most unnerving, frightening, mentally and emotionally tumultuous films! If you can get through the 30 minutes driving through corn fields. Which, if you’ve been to Indiana, you should know is scary in its own right.
Also, let’s be real: ain’t no remakes on this list. Jason Vorhees will KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP IF YOU WATCH REMAKES.
8.30 Days of Night: These vampires will EFF YOUR SHIT UP. This movie totally gets under my skin, because psychologically I can think of few things more terrifying than living in some BFE Alaskan town where you don’t get sun for 30 days and then having vampires show up for a meat fest. PLUS!! Hottie Josh Hartnett RETURNS TO US.
9. Last House On The Left: True Fact: I have not finished the last 5 minutes of this film EVER because I was so freaked out I just couldn’t. You won’t be able to finish watching after seeing mom give killer a bj and then bite off his peen. For you thinking girls, it’s based on Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring. SWEDISH FILMS TURNED INTO HORROR. MY GREATEST JOY IN LIFE.
10. Grindhouse Presents: Death Proof & Planet Terror: They’re kind of smart, kind of GIRL POWAH!, and a bit self indulgent (Quentin Tarantino, I’m looking atchoo). They range from scary because dudes are creepy, sick bastards and girls ultimately kick their asses (Death Proof) or because the world is infected with creepy viruses that make people zombie-LIKE, Rose McGowan’s a stone fox who kicks ass, and a dude’s pecker falls off (Planet Terror). And since horror movies are about objectifying gals, let’s watch the hottest lap dance ever performed– and in flip flops no less!
BONUS 11TH FILM: PSYCHO BEACH PARTY
It’s not really a horror film at all. It’s like a 50s Beach Movie meets 60s Thriller meets 70s Slasher film. It’s about a killer knocking off people with physical disabilities– a guy with a hairlip, a girl in a wheelchair, and the young prep girl cum surfer girl who keeps blacking out. It’s got Nicholas Brendan from Buffy and Lauren Ambrose from Six Feet Under (and the girl who’d play me in a movie). It’s got a dance off!
It’s also the most mind-blowing, earth-shatteringly amazing film I’ve ever seen. I once had a friend who stole my VHS copy of it, and then when a meeting was ending, I grabbed the VHS and ran out the front door with it. He yelled, “AW MAN!” after me. He’s lucky he didn’t get cut over it.
And bish, there ain’t no zombies or clowns on this list. We girls need to be able to sleep after all those horror flicks, kay?

I love LOVE Psycho Beach Party – what a great movie. I had forgotten all about that. And yes -30 Days of Night was excellent for portraying as the vampires terrifying blood maniac they are supposed to be, instead of well, romantical sparkly boyfriends and such. They is one point in the film when the camera zooms out and you can see all the craziness going on in the town at once and it looks like the all time Google Map of carnage!
If you want to see a film that will really f*ck your sh*t up- watch the Masters of Horror episode done by Takashi Miike, “Imprint”. There are just no words.

I am SO obsessed with PBP! It’s probably one of my favorite films…. I just got it on DVD for Christmas from the Beau.
I’ll also have to add that to my list, I love me some scary flicks!
Just gotta add The Faculty is also based on a Lois Duncan book. That chick was popular for about a year – and surprisingly, despite her YA horror pedigree, she also wrote an award-winning novel about the Holocaust.
You know, I thought it was! I had originally written it and then though I was getting confused.
Yay for YA authors! (Esp when they’re smart.)
Hahahahahahahahahaha- I’m glad you included the sentence! It’s crazy effective!
I am a big fan of camp…things dripping in their genre. LOVE!
I am so intrigued by Chopping Mall!! – Robots!? Yes please!!! RL Stine!! Super yes please!
Right?! In context it totally makes sense!
If you love camp, DEF check out Psycho Beach Party!
And doesn’t Chopping Mall sound amazing?
I watched Last House on the Left and The Virgin Spring in the same weekend. My husband thought I was twisted. The worst part was the music in Last House on the Left. ICK
I love the Bergman film! But LHotL is in my Top 5 Most Fucked Up films of all time. One of those that gets under your skin, makes you feel hot and panicked, and leaves you emotionally abused at the end. I think the camera style also does it, too… But it’s so good to watch both together! It really gives you a great idea of how inspiration and creativity can work hand in hand…
WHAT ABOUT SLEEPAWAY CAMP??????
C’mon who doesn’t love tranny killers at summer camp??
Really cool post! I’ll be watching a few of these :) congrats on the links á la mode feature!

Awesome, no one ever talks about The Faculty. I must have watched that like 12X when I was a teen.
