A frathouse folly that doesn't live up to its outlandish title. It starts out well enough, what with sultry nymphets being spanked and sloshed in whipped cream, but it's all downhill from there. The pace is hebetudinous (I should've just said "slow"), there's no score to keep the action sequences bustling with energy, and The Imp is one of the most imbecilic villains this side of Jack Frost. I'm not even sure what he does. The characters are vexing (why does the geek avert the sexual advances of a hot chick who wants to fuck him??!?!!), but Andras Jones manages to sneak in a passable performance, he of NOES4 fame. Linnea Quigley rocks as the intractable, headstrong heroine. However, she doesn't shed her clothing...in a b-movie pertaining to sorority babes. What gives?

[Jason13thh]

Is this film from Jim Winorsky ? if yes I must find this film because Chopping Mall was so funny and so entertaining if this-one is as good as Chopping man I won't hesitate.

[Romero&Juliet]

^ No, Winorski didn't direct, unfourtunately..


A while ago I made a vow to see EVERYTHING Linnea Quigley has starred in. There's just somehting about her presence(and rack ;)) that really makes a B-movie.

Cant imagine it being bad, really...

[ParileseMonster]

It is a David DeCoteau joint. He is a pretty cool dude very nice. Anyway this is one of my favorite horror/comedy movies. Linnea is so great and I love her so much I just do not notice if she shows her tits or not anymore.:D
I love the IMP and at least you see Brinke and Michelle naked in the shower. If you want to see Brinke(Can't believe she is turning 50 this year), Michelle and Linnea naked at the same time in a tub taking a bath watch Nightmare Sisters or if you want to see Linnea and Michelle naked check out the crappy Deadly Embrace with "I hit the fucking wall" Jan Michael Vincent.:D

[Jason13thh]

DeCoteau ? I have Final Stab from him ( aka Final Scream )
It is a pretty cool slasher.
I have not seen one of his Brotherhood films, are they worth seeing ?

[teenkiller]

I actually own the Collector's Edition dvd of this. Also if you want to see Linnea's tits you should check out NIGHTMARE 4. She is the soul on FREDDY'S chest who is pushing her tits up against him when trying to escape his body at the end of the movie. Pretty weird eh? Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[ParileseMonster]

I saw behind the scenes for that. She had to get completely naked and covered in K-Y and Linnea said that it is very cold when you are covered in that goop. Anyway they had a huge reproduction of Freddy's chest made and she had to stand behind it and rub herself on it.

Anyway Ive never seen any of DeCoteau's Brotherhood movies but I have seen alot of his other flicks. You should check out his page on IMDB this guy has so many alias's. He even directs sometimes under chick names.

[countchocula]

It's been awhile since DeCoteau has made an overtly heterosexual film. He's stuck on "homoerotic horror," which isn't necessarily a bad thing. His productivity and aptitude for milking shoestring budgets is quite admirable.

Parilese, would you recommend Creepozoids?

[ParileseMonster]

Mmmm I would if you were a Linnea fan. I own it and watch it from time to time but it is not a great movie nor is it totally suck fuck.:D
The scene where Linnea and the guy are showering is a funny story. They were both standing on an apple crate in a kiddie pool and the water is from people pouring water from a jug right above them. A pretty cheap-o set. Ken Abraham was so nervous to do the nude scene with her and he started working out and doing push ups right before they shot the nude parts.:D

[bowieee]

One of my favorite cheesefests of all time. The lighting and atmosphere in this movie really give it a dreamy look amongst all the overflowing cheesiness. The demon is quite a character and cracked me up more than once. A B movie classic!

[Gluttony]

Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-O-Rama (1987)- 6/10
Creepozoids (1987)- 8/10

I liked both, but I found Creepoziods to be more meritorious and less irritatingly idiotic.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Great film , even if it's more hilarious than terrifying , but that's to be suspected with a title like that .


It looks like it only cost 10 dollars to make , but what it lacks in production values it makes up for with irreverance and an obvious fondness for over the top z grade " horror " .


It was made in a time when women still had bush . Forget about all those rings in weird places , that's the only accesory they need , and there is some nice pre Bally's , excersice 8 hours a day bodies nude scenes , all gratuitous of course , but better than the slick looking , surgically enhanced bods of current scream queens .


But i digress , this film is one of the best of the time period , and it has aged well . Sub Rosa , Full Moon , Troma , all try to capture the magic of these simplistic , but highly effective low budget horror fests , but somehow it just doesn't work , there is something about them that cannot be recreated , maybe because they really had no idea what they were making , it was mainly accidental . Like Zombie 3 ( not comparing , just an example ) , you just can't make films such as this so bad but so entertaining on purpose , but i wish someone could .


I highly recommend this , and check out the Janitor , he just about singlehandedly steals the whole show , if anything he steals every scene he's in , excellent .

I love Hal Havins a/k/a Jimmy the fat and stupid fuck that first makes a wish with the Imp. He is always so good and exemplifies out-of-shape-ex-football-jock-dumb-as-rocks-frat-boy-reject. Beer gut included.
He is equally good as Stooge in Night of the Demons.

And I always adored Linnea's outfit in this. I love how she wears everything out of her own closet. Fuck high fashion haute couture actresses in Ralph Lauren. Gimme ripped shirts and bullet studded belts. She rules.

[Lizarrd]

Not a very good movie (I never dug posession movies) but damn if that's not the greatest title of all time.

I thought I recognized him! Stooge is God.

[SykkBoy]

I love this flick
When I'm turning one of my buddies into the bad movie junkie that I am, I usually start them off with a doublebill of this and Fred Olen Ray's "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers"

I'm such a Linnea Quigley completist that I even own an autographed copy of her Horror Workout video tape...

[Hans, wihout Franz]

I liked it but I can see why a lot of people would not. Kinda like a Troma flick. I didn't mind Linnea not showing her stuff when you get more than enough from Brinky Stevens and Michelle Bauer

Favorite part:
Nerdy guy is puking out the side of a car window
Girl says:"What's his problem?"
Other guy says:"He had a beer tonight."
Girl says:"A beer, just one?"

Oh, and by the way count Creepazoids is on the same lines as this one only it trys to take itself more seriously.

[teenkiller]

I was trying to do a search for a Wicker Man thread but somehow this one came up. Since this movie holds a place in my heart I decided to give it the old bump-a-roo. And damn! It has been years since I have seen it but I didn't even realize old Stooge was in this. Stooge was THE MAN! And one of the highlights of watching Night of the Demons. They need to recast him in some new up and coming cheesy horrorfest. Like 2002 Maniacs or something. He's a riot. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[XCoRyX]

rented this back when I was working at hollywood video randomly due to some of the cult-loving its got,and Andras Jones is awesome...but just couldn't get into it and thought it was quite bad (not in the fun way,obviously). I didn't even finish it..

[Mojo67821]

I just read through this thread... whoever said the Janitor stole the show was right, that old crazy dude was awesome.

Bad movies are hit or miss. You can like certain ones and hate others, and still someone else can hate the ones you love. Tastes are very particular when it comes to these gems... believe it or not.

I loved this and did an interview with DeCoteau for my site afterwards. You could tell he wasn't very excited about talking about it but he was very nice and gracious and humored my questions. Now his company makes "homo-erotic" horror (someone elses term from above). Basically horror marketed to young girls or gay dudes... sort of the reverse of classic exploitation.

[XCoRyX]

Yeah his recent stuffs been pretty ridiculous...not to mention i've heard a few different things regarding casting and such.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Just about everything in entertainment has homoerotic undertones now . I just want my horror to go back to basics , you know when it pandered to the pimple faced teen i once was :) . Low bud horror is being emasculated now , although there are some great ones being made , silly , nonsensical, just down right gleefully brainless trifle like this film just aren't being made anymore .


I remember when certain directors made horror because they actually enjoyed it , and it was what they really wanted to do , now you have a bunch of directors who only use horror as a stepping stone , and never realize their full potential in the genre , they just want to be the next hwood golden boy , they have no respect for horror and how great the genre can be . They have one eye on the zombie and one eye on the big break if the film is succesful . Nothing wrong with that , i guess , but we need directors to commited to horror films in order to see their best work eventually , like Carpenter in the 70s and 80s , he just seemed to get better , because he cultivated his craft within the horror genre . He dint jump into some mainstream claptrap after the success of Halloween , but i'm sure he could have .



Then you have the state of affairs with troma and sub rosa and some others , god , they are pissing all over low bud horror , it's an embarassment to the genre what they are producing . They just can't seem to get it right or wrong depending on your perspective . They think all you need for a good horror film is some chicks that look like porn actors , running around with attitude , screaming and such . Throw in some vacuous pretty boys , cheesy gore , and the token cameo stunt casting and you have a horror film .


It takes more than that , it takes a genuine affection for what you're creating . It's not about pandering to what you think your audience may be , it's about throwing something out there with reckless abandon . It's like they don't even try now , it's all about slapping together some garbage and getting on the shelves at blockbuster with a fancy cover .


That's why i think a film such as Slime was accidental in it's effectiveness , they seemed to be having fun and not worrying about rentals and the next gig , or a big break . I think it's accidental genius , an imp who talks jive , demons running around in a bowling alley , nerds , sluts , gratuitous nudity for no reason , little in the way of narrative , a funny as hell janitor , this thing drips aged cheese from every orifice . Another thing , most stv horror now features actors that have little or no talent , now that's not always a bad thing , but in slime , the characters and the talent on hand , even if it may be limited , was evident and it blows away what you see now . These were genuine characters and they were engaging in that low budget horror sort of way .


Long live the Janitor , we never really found out what happened to him , he may have survived , and can make an appearance in the sequel .



By the way , it may sound silly , but one film that stands out as an effective homage to cheap films like these , one that i feel captures this magic in modern times is the dreadful but highly entertaining Scarecrow .

[Mojo67821]

I think you're severely overestimating "Slime". I'm not sure how you can say that it doesn't "pander" to what it thinks people will want. That's what exploitation is by definition, and that's what this film is. I"m not sure what Brinke Stevens getting her ass paddled has to do with love for the horror genre. I loved it, but it has nothing to do with the filmmakers being "passionate" about what they were doing. It's because that's what 14 year old guys want to see.

Although TROMA in a lot of ways does pander to the lowest common denominator, you would be hard pressed to find someone who cares more about independent filmmaking than Lloyd Kaufman. I would recommend watching one of the 'making of' documentaries on their last few DVDs. Nothing says "I have passion for making movies" like shitting in paper bags and eating nothing but cheese sandwiches for 3 weeks just to get your little indie movie made.

I recommend Tromeo and Juliet, Terror Firmer, and to a lesser extend Citizen Toxie. All 3 have absolutely amazing behind the scenes stuff on the DVDs.

Does anyone know if the alleged sequel, Sorority Babes in the Dance-A-Thon of Death, really exists? I'm thinking it probably doesn't but then again if any schmoes have really seen it I would like to hear about it. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

I got it. I have not watched it yet, but I dont think its a sequel. I think its a name ripp-off type deal. Its part off a 6 movie dvd set I have called "Vicious Vixens". I only watched 2 movies from the set and they where truly bad. So I have not been in a rush to watch Dance-a-thon of death.

[teenkiller]

But the film truly exists?! Wow. I thought it was a hoax of some kind. I guess it is a name only sequel along the lines of Day of the Dead: Contagium. Must be a real winner. Ha ha. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.
